In trying to be funny, DarkGob may have actually hit on a great idea of using Pandora's Box. Attempted humor aside, there is the core of a great story there!

I probably should have made it an easily-digestible list instead, people love lists.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Takes place after The Magesterium, of course. Tyrant is defeated, but the Incarnates were fools to believe he was the greatest evil around. Now the embodiment of Pandora threatens to unleash all great evils upon the world, regardless of whether or not the world is ready for them.
Stage 1 begins with a simple tank 'n spank of Pandora, a level 54+4 AV. When she gets down to half HP, she begins to summon adds of existing and new enemy groups, all of which we've been informed of ahead of the trial via cutscene and/or captions and/or the trial window. According to the cutscene/captions/trial window, defeating these adds and then Pandora herself will complete the trial.
Stage 2 is where it gets interesting. Before the adds have even been cleared, the Vessel of Pandora opens, releasing everything contained within. This stage is not revealed to the league ahead of time.
The first wave consists of new enemy groups using never-before-seen powersets, like X Melee, Y Control, and Z Blast. The league leader will get a temp power that summons Prometheus to clear the adds as you continue to take down Pandora, but using the power will double the size of the next group of adds.
The second wave consists of enemy groups using never-before-seen body types and/or archetypes. The league leader gets a temp power that will summon reinforcements that fight alongside the league, but using this power will triple the size of the next group of adds.
The final stage opens the Paragon Market window, revealing all of this new content available for purchase. Purchasing any of them will cause the trial to fail.
Disclaimer: The above post was entirely tongue-in-cheek and may not have actually been funny.
