PACK NEWS
09.26.2025 The planets aligned and Sauwce returned briefly.
07.26.2024 We gladly welcome the newest little hooligans into the ranks of Elysium! A happy birthday to Nemean and Fleetwood's newest litter: Pennyroyal, Pinesprings, Verbena, Edelweiss, and Spiderlily! Welcome to the chaos!
06.28.2024 The necromancer Karle has resurrected Sauwce to fix her codes, whereupon she was later laid to rest once more... until next time.
06.19.2024 What began as an outpouring of feelings of neglect and resolution between two sisters quickly devolved into an emotionally-charged discussion surrounding - arranged marriages?!Dr. Bacchus revealed that she had spoken with the King of Northfall, Ragnar, with the intent of marrying off their children to each other... including Valeska and Amaranth's own. Barely able to control her rage, Valeska politely exited the conversation and made plans to pay the great King a visit of her own.
With the newly-recruited Cyrus as a safeguard for the journey, they departed home to set things straight.
Just before this, however, she had enjoyed a heart-to-heart with her son Amaris, who expressed his growing frustration and loneliness now that his sister Aelia had taken up with a boy. This troubling news aside, Valeska offered for him to accompany her to Northfall, but he declined - and then changed his mind the following day, going after her with newfound determination to put himself out in the world. We pray for him.
We would also like to give a warm welcome to Persephone as Elysium's newest member! We are sorry in advance for what she may experience here.
05.05.2024 Appearing suddenly at their doorstep, Northfall's Queen Freya asked for an audience with Valeska regarding recent events. As she relayed her experience of being kidnapped by some Odin fellow, vanishing for months without a trace much like her ownNarcissa, Valeska listened with great interest. Apparently Ragnar had taken a new mate during his search for the lost Queen, creating a rift between the two that may never be repaired - in the wake of this discovery, she had formed a pack of her own by the name of Psychí Deméni.
Reaffirming their mutual respect for one another before Freya returned to her new home Storm's Reach, Elysium and Psychí Deméni formed a friendly alliance and bid each other goodbye.
Elysium now found themselves allied with two opposing packs - will the kindly hippies find themselves caught in the middle should things go awry? Only time will tell...
04.28.2024 Fleetwood has departed on a trip to seek out her lost brother at last, with the stoic Nemean by her side - could there be a romance blossoming between the pair? Time will tell, but we wish them luck on their journey!
01.17.2024Narcissa has returned home after a few months missing. There is a rumor of a strange, otherworldly captor that took her hostage - alas, at least she is safely home, with many more protective eyes watching her every move. Hvitserk in particular seems unusually protective of the girl, something that has not gone unnoticed by her parents...
01.11.2024 Sauwce returned to fix Karle's mistakes.
12.30.2023 Tragedy has struck Elysium with the sudden and inexplicable disappearance ofNarcissa, one of Valeska and Amaranth's daughters. Frantic and eager to find an outlet for her grief and rage, Valeska is quick to blame Northfall, as Hvitserk was the last wolf known to have seen her - due to her current instability, Valeska is placed under mandatory 'house arrest' within Fate's Respite while Amaranth and Dr. Bacchus have gone to visit their allies in a bid to understand what has happened.
Not all is dark and without hope, however - the gods give and the gods take away in equal measure. Harper has given birth to a litter of six healthy pups -Mimosa, Nadya, Elskan, Mir, Atli, and Lyot - and although still suffering from the heavy blow of her daughter's disappearance, Valeska cannot help but be delighted by the introduction of her newest nieces and nephews.
07.20.2023 Visiting their allies toward the west, Amphitrite accompanied the two leaders and their brood with some resentment over her disaster of a first date. While she did not return his affections, Roland followed his lady love's tracks all the way to Duskguard, whereupon he very nearly engaged in combat with their friend Kuhn - who, mercifully, did not choose to reciprocate.
After a few tumultuous days, Roland eventually broke away on his own and returned home.
Unknown to the others, he would pass away peacefully in his sleep - whether it had been stress from the journey or the culmination of a life well-lived with a heart full of love, Roland was gone.
Valeska found him curled around a collection of what were clearly his most treasured tokens, and held a memorial service in his honor.
06.18.2023 Valeska, in a well-meant attempt to inject some fun back into their day-to-day, gleefully arranged a blind date between Roland and the beautiful Amphitrite. Set up for success down to the finest detail - she had even incorporated Amphitrite's peculiar request for stripes by painting them on the stud in question with layers of mud, in a terrible moment of misunderstanding - things unfortunately fell apart as the fair maiden quickly realized her suitor was old enough to be her great-great-grandfather, and decidedly not a certain tiger she'd set her eye on.
Even worse, Amaranth ended up as collateral damage when she overheard Valeska and Roland whispering together about a 'date' - and wrongly inferred that her wife, who had once enjoyed her own dalliance with a much older man, was having an affair.
Perhaps a social trip to visit their allies in Duskguard might help divert Amphitrite's righteous fury away from Valeska.
05.14.2023 In a shocking turn of events Amaranth's mother, Viscaria, has been gravely wounded - by none other than Cypress, the crimson wolf who has long cast a shadow over their bloodline and the reason for his grandson Alder's unfortunate coloring. The pack settles into a state of unease as they slowly nurse her back to health.
05.8.2023 Having returned home without incident, the High Priestess and her Augur are horrified to learn that nearly everyone has tried drowning in their absence, and inwardly vow never to leave Elysium unattended without a Certified Adult again.
05.2.2023 Valeska seemingly loses her litter, descending into grief as Amaranth suddenly feels a strange pull toward a mysterious tree - which, after making an offering, they soon discover the lost pups nestled within the hollow of its embrace. Now they must journey back with their precious cargo.
04.29.2023 Elysium has been mysteriously transported to a strange new world - leaving its members with far more questions than they have answers. Valeska, in particular, is beside herself. This is the second time. What is she doing wrong?!
12.28.2022 Sauwce was enslaved by Karle to make a pack page..
10.09.2022 The pack ventures off to visit their allies in the tundra! Northfall.
09.22.2022 A banquet is held in honor of Aether's arrival!

Formed from the ideals of a single wolf's devotion to the gods and bettering the world around her, Elysium is meant to be a refuge, a place of peace.
Sequestered away in a mountain oasis, it is a symbol of new life, of new beginnings. Elysium was created for the holy, the humble, and even the sinful wishing for respite; all of those who wish to worship the gods or simply live out their time in joy and freedom. All lost and vagrant souls are welcome in the fold of this deep-knit family, bound together by goodwill as much as they are by love for one another, and those who enter their ranks are treated with fairness and respect.
While still believing there are other ways to resolve conflict outside of violence, they do understand that some bloodshed may be necessary for the continuation of a paradise dedicated to sheltering the lost, or simply those who may be fleeing unfavorable circumstances.
To stand up for those who cannot stand - that is their holy mission.
It is expected of all members to contribute by nourishing and uplifting one another in both body and spirit, providing comfort for the lonely, and working together to create a home for those who seek light in a world of darkness.

THE PACK MANTRA
What belongs to one, belongs to all
Small prey and precious trinkets notwithstanding, it is expected that all members pool their kills and resources so that everyone may reap the benefits of a bountiful life.
Respect your neighbors, even if they disagree
While Elysium was created primarily to worship the Five in peace, wolves of all faiths are welcome within its stone walls, and their right to individual freedom is to be acknowledged and not overstepped. Unless the god in question has horrible wolven sacrifices or cannibalistic rituals ... then probably not.
Rank through deeds
Whether it be pack events or through extraordinary feats (or even the small ones that add up), moving up through the pack hierarchy is something that is earned with time and grace; events are also held at the end of every season at a minimum, giving the winner of the games a chance to move up for proving their skill in a particular area.
No soul turned away
If any wolf seeks sanctuary, it is by a divine obligation that they are taken in; no matter how abhorrent, even the lowly and the sinful will be welcomed if they ask it. However, exceptions will be made where if they should seek destruction, they will be cast out.

EXPANDED HIERARCHY
Rank is not so much a privilege of lofty standing and great treasure here, as much as it is an honor and tangible proof of a wolf’s skill and character. Those who have earned their respective titles may have the honor of hosting special events and ceremonies, as well as teaching others among the pack the skills of their trade or inspire them to similar feats; all for the glory of Elysium and the gods themselves. All wolves begin as Acolytes, and upon choosing and demonstrating skill in a job class, they earn the title - and from there, earn higher forms.
Only one wolf from each job class may earn their rank's final station, bearing its own unique name, through exceptional demonstration of skill; those four plus the High Priestess and her Augur make up the Council. They are the mouths of the gods, and give counsel to the High Priestess and help keep the pack running smoothly.
Example: Acolyte → Base Class → Blessed (Base Class) → Single Culminating Class (Spiritwalker → Spiritseer; Thornweaver → Vinekeeper; Windseeker → Galestrider; Shadowsbane → Shadepiercer
