Elysium

Elysium (or Heaven, The Afterlife, etc.) is a paradise realm separate to Ancyra where the Angels and the enlightened of the world live in tranquility forever. Very little is known about Elysium other than it is the intended final home for all Souls.

A soul ascends to Elysium once it has reached its spiritual apex; that is, a point where it is no longer capable of learning from its continued experiences and lives in Ancyra.

Origin
Before the Archangel Karm forged the world as humans know it, he created the Stars and Elysium. The stars were an integral part of a celestial system known as the Life Stream - a spiritual superorganism to be the heart of Ancyra and indeed all living beings. Elysium was the final resting place for souls that had learned all there was to learn from Ancyra. It was also intended to be a safe haven for the Angels, a true paradise in comparison to the world which Karm had came from: Cyra.

Karm overestimated his control over creation in the end, and his power was depleted before he could finish the creation of Ancyra. This destroyed his body and sent his 1,000 angels into a state of disarray. In his absence, the Angels established a new government to preside over both Elysium and Ancyra - '''The Divine Council. '''Lead by the High Angel Xavact, it served to protect and guide Humans to greatness. The Angels vastly misunderstood the nature of humanity, however, and were lead to panic when the humans displayed murderous qualities of that of Exiled figures from before.

The panic caused a widespread implementation of totalitarian laws to keep humanity in check. Eventually, Ancyra rebelled against Elysium and ignited an age of global-scale conflict known as the 1,000 Year War.

After Xavacts falling and attempted genocide of the human race, Karm at last had returned and felled Xavact in combat. Perhaps horrified by what had transpired in his absence, he ordered all Angels to return to Elysium indefinitely. Centuries pass, and eventually Elysium and the Angels themselves fade to nothing but myths and tall tales.
