Elysium (AoC Universe)

Elysium (also referred to as the Elysian Fields) is a spiritual realm in the Aeon of the Champion series. Created from the coalition of pure light magic, the realm was claimed by the Pantheon as their homeworld, and became the site at which all Vanir were to be created (via the fusion of light and sound).

It exists on the Arda dimension plane, above its counterpart, the chaotic realm of Tartarus.

Lore
Because Light and Void magic repelled one another as the universe expanded, they each went their separate ways. Light, being pure, coalesced at the top of the Creation and formed a pristine world known as Elysium. It was of unspoiled natural beauty, and the Pantheon, coming across it during their spacefaring, settled on the fields. Their Aesir and Vanir servants soon moved in with them. The Garor, recruited by [], assisted in the construction of many of Heaven's greatest cities, including the legendary Silver City.

After the Sudden Siege of the Silver City kicked off the Eternal Conflict, the Pantheon upgraded the Golden Arch to the Crystal Arch, allowing for new angels to be generated at a faster rate. This came in response to the frequency of attacks by demons from Tartarus. Some of these angels were used as garrison in case of attacks, and others were sent to assist in expeditions outside of Elysium's golden gates.

When Lucithel betrayed the Aegis Council, he defected to Tartarus, gave himself command over the Armies of Hell, which led to a final confrontation in which the titans of the Pantheon were slaughtered and the Fusion Staff's crystals scattered. All the Vanir were were killed or converted into demons by Lucithel's contamination, so Elysium now largely serves as a meeting point for the Aegis Council, who still convene in the Angiris Citadel to discuss policy.
