Elysium is a place for safety and enjoyment, a place where any walk of life is welcome without judgement or persecution. Though Elysium is led by the Mendacium family as a place for them to practice their beliefs without judgement from the outside world, these same tenets are extended to all of their members. Being a part of Elysium means you become extended family of the Matriarch and you will be treated as such.

General Rules

Den Locations and Descriptions
Alias Island
Manea, Alastor, Malico, Mariah, & Irilyth: The largest cave on the island that has been shaped to fit the large family that occupies it. The main chamber at the entrance of the cave is used for congregating and meals. A small alcove of a room serves as Irilyth's bedroom while a few more larger, branching rooms serve as bedrooms for the kids. At the far end of the chamber is a curving path that leads to the largest den that Manea and Alastor use as their master bedroom. Around the various chambers of the cave are shelves carved into the stone for storage, comfortable furs in sitting arrangements, and covered storage for supplies and food.
Avacyn & Saracyn: A large branching cave with a main living chamber, a separate space for Avacyn's workshop, a large bedroom for the pair of the two of them, and a couple smaller dens for guests. The main chamber contains a sitting area, a fire pit for warmth and cooking, and storage for their daily supplies and food. The bedroom is cozy with many plush furs and pillows.
Deimos & Ikigai:
The pair share a sizable cave with a few smaller chambers branching off of it. The main chamber is furnished with a low dining table, shelves for various trinkets and supplies, and many comfortable furs and pillows. Their sleeping chamber is blocked off from the main living area with oiled skins to provide privacy and to block out the light. Inside is a large, plush bed covered in layers of soft furs and chests to one side of the room to store Ikigai's finer belongings.

The Rock Garden
Nirvana: Nirvana is an oddity that has chosen to make her den within the territory of the Rock Garden. While she had initially tried to settle on the island, it didn’t feel right, and so she and her companions found a boulder with a flat-ish top and dug out a sizable den below. The den itself is simple, dirt interior with hides laid down to provide comfort for both herself and a smaller set for her companion Thomas. There is a small stand of sort made out of gathered branches on one side for Nirvana to place her feather cape and dagger on when she is resting. Other than that, the den is barren. It is all it needs to be; a place of rest. Outside the den, propped against the boulder and worked into the ground with additional dirt and stones to support it are a couple long, tall branches from another territory. This set up was provided for Nirvana’s other companion, Ridge, who as a falcon, does not feel comfortable inside the den. On warm, clear nights Nirvana can be found bringing a hide out to the top of the boulder and laying on that instead to sleep under the stars.
