Gardens of Deceit and Delight
Despite her neutral nature, Calistria calls the fields of Elysium home. The fickle goddess often shifts her realm’s location and size, and it’s not uncommon for those seeking its borders to be unable to find it, or those who’d prefer to avoid it to stumble unprepared into its gardens of sensual delights. In this sense, Calistria’s realm uniquely matches the goddess herself: beautiful, inviting, playful—and completely untrustworthy. Visitors might gradually notice the slight buzzing of wasps in the deep and otherwise silent forest, and then quite abruptly find themselves wandering a hedge maze of rose bushes or standing before one of the Savored Sting’s palatial, baroque manors. Though Elysium may focus on positive and benevolent aspects of freedom and chaos, Calistria’s minions don’t always take the same tack, and her pleasure palaces can be extremely dangerous for the unwary.
