Elysium

Elysium is a location where Kindred can meet each other without fear of violence. It comes from the Greek term meaning a place of sanctuary and ideal happiness. Most Elysia have rules against violence within, and can also extend to feeding there, arriving armed or employing Disciplines.

These locations are usually great landmarks within a domain or places or cultural significance and beauty - museums, art galleries or historial buildings are common. These locations may or may not be places where mortals congregate such as bars and restaurants - if this is the case, laws against Discipline use and violence are likely to be strictly enforced.

The Prince decrees sites as Elysium, and locations can be permanent or rotated in and out of use on a temporary basis. Elysia fall under the remit of the Keeper of Elysium, who is responsible for both the upkeep of a location and ensuring that all parties in attendance stick to the rules. They are tied very closely to the Keeper's station - a particularly beautiful or interesting Elysium lend a great deal of prestige to the Keeper, and likewise a shoddy location or somewhere that's prone to violence can lead to the Keeper of Elysium losing their position (and maybe their head...)
