Elysium
The Heavenly Rest
Elysium is the dream of all living beings. A peaceful realm where souls pass on from the material plane. It is an ever expanding (theoretically infinite) land where souls of pure heart can rest, wanting for nothing. Entry is decided based on the calculus of all of the 'good' one has brought to the world, as well as their true nature as a person. The landscape changes and shifts to accomodate the whims of the souls there, ensuring that everyone is as comfortable as possible. Souls do spend most of their time in The Great Communion, a collective soup where souls are linked in the ultimate expression of empathy.
Not every soul wishes for this eternal tranquil rest, with some preferring the endless hunts of Byzantium, or the glorious neverending combat of Acheron. But for most, the idea of Elysiums peaceful reward is ample, and provides a strong impetus to be their best selves.
