Pandemonium (Korean: 魔界 magye) is one of the three primary traversable realms in Dungeon Fighter Online (DFO). It is an octahedral celestial fragment that hovers over the Planet Arad for reasons unknown, and is said to be the origin of magic and the domain of the 'Apostles'. Currently, it is connected to the Aradian Overworld realm Empyrean through an Interdimensional Rift created by the Castle of the Dead.
According to legend, it was originally a fragment that contained a city from the Planet Terra, and was sent flying into space after its home planet's destruction. For many years, the fragment drifted by a plethora of worlds and fell victim to countless alien invaders, which plunged the realm into endless infighting and left it in a state of chaos and ruin, hence its name. Recently, however, Pandemonium has attained a fragile 'peace' due a settlement between Pandemonium's most powerful magical organizations and the mysterious disappearance of some its most powerful creatures.
