Elysium

Populated by the freewheeling, hidden courts of the native azata celestials, Elysium’s wilderness holds both paradise and risk. Marked by roaring seas, mountains where reclusive titans dwell, and fields and forests traversed by wandering lillend clans, the plane represents goodness without law, and the boundless creative spark. It is mildly chaos- and good-aligned.

A plane of wild beauty and passion, encompassing the highest mountains and deepest seas within the Outer Sphere, Elysium exists as the personification of benevolent chaos. It is the plane of freedom, creativity, and artistry, unbound by convention, but also a plane of competition, conflict, and hedonism that can easily be taken to debilitating extremes by unprepared mortals.
Elysium and its residents reward the worthy and the brave, but offer little to the foolish, and actively oppose those who would seek to exploit or despoil the plane and its chosen, exalted concepts of unfettered good.

Fauna & Flora

Azatas

The most powerful and numerous of Elysium’s outsiders, the fey-like azatas are also the most likely to be felt rather than seen. Obsessed with individual freedom and creativity, valuing independence from restrictive external obligations, the azatas are oftentimes loath to directly involve themselves in planar politics outside of Elysium. Rather, the chaotic celestials prefer to act more subtly, providing inspiration and aid to help the oppressed free themselves and better their own situations. They foster the idea that freedom benefits a mortal society over simply deposing one tyrant in favor of another.
Within Elysium, azata society is fiercely competitive, with rank and influence a ref lection of acts and deeds rather than birthright. Yet despite their independence, the azatas still often pledge shifting allegiance to factions like the Court of the Muse, the Court of the Wanderer, the Court of the Burning Gale, and others whose names loosely describe their worldly calling and the character of their ruling lord. But true to their secretive nature, azata shapechangers often travel incognito, taking the forms of animals, mortals, or even weather patterns like waves or gusts of wind, and often mask their elaborate cities, holding them just out of phase or cloaking them in illusions woven from the plane itself. The only proven way to find the azatas is to be worthy of their attention, and freely and openly request their aid or presence.

Titans

Generally reclusive, living in opulent mountaintop retreats and floating palaces, the titans arrived on Elysium as refugees, fleeing a war or disaster so utterly horrific that to this day they refuse to speak of it or even say on what plane they originated. The titans of Elysium are significantly larger than those found on the Material Plane, and unlike their mortal kindred, they uniformly align with the forces of good. They are patrons of the arts, and often stock their homes with all manner of collected curios and objects of vanity, only to give things to one another or worthy visitors.
