	In 1995, George and Mary Ann Morin, the owners of a small farmhouse in the Eastern United States noticed the border markers surrounding their property had been moved by their neighbors. [[Grand Duke Travis\|Travis McHenry]], a friend of the family was called to investigate the allegations privately and attempt to catch the evil neighbors in the act of desecration. Travis felt so strongly about his mission that he created an imrpomptu militia group. The militia was called "The Border Patrol Agency" and routinely patrolled the perimeter of the farmhouse while wearing military fatigues and carrying pellet guns. To prove his seriousness, Travis placed signs around the property line showing a skull and crossbones with the text "Death will result from crossing this point." No further border infractions were noted for a time.

	The following year, while conducting a routine patrol through the woods along the disputer border, Travis was shot at by someone with a .22 rifle. The bullet lodged in a tree directly above his head. Evidence surfaced suggesting neighbors on both sides of the farmhouse ~~are~~ responsible for the border incursions and the firing of the .22. Several months later, Yeller, the ~~Sgt.~~ at Arms of the Dogs of War division of the Border Patrol Agency mysteriously disappeared and was never seen again.

	Tired of constantly blazing trails for his patrols through the orchard of Casbah, Maharaja Daniel began a campaign to destroy all the mustard weed that grew throughout Casbah. One of the members of the Border Patrol Agency, Jean Morin, could stand to see nature destroyed and lead a rebellion against the Maharaja's campaign of destruction. The Elderstateswoman was swayed towards her daughter's opinion, and forced the Maharaja to stop destroying the mustard weed. As reparation, he was forced to establish a "mustard habitat" in Casbah, with signs to clearly mark the boundaries where the ~~weed~~ could grow ~~free~~. The Maharaja also had to make a short film called "Mustard is Our Future," highlighting the benefits of mustard weed and bringing Jean's crusade into the spotlight.

	To take advantage of this situation, the Maharaja instituted a Cult of Pan and ~~mandate~~ the worship of a statue of Pan. Worship was carried out in the kitchen of Casbah Palace and was accompanied by an elaborate ritual feast whereby participants would eat small dishes of snack food (peanuts, toffee chips, and bittersweet chocolate) while giving thanks to Pan for his blessings.

	As the rituals centered around a resin garden statue of the Pan deity, there was significant debate between the members of the Cult as to whether they were worshiping the pagan god Pan or the statue itself. Most of the followers of Pan weren't comfortable with the thought of pagan idolatry, so it was generally agreed that they were worshiping the god Pan while the statue served as a physical representation of the deity.
