    I looked it up on wikipedia, and there's an entry in there that says Elysium can be described as a paradise, according to some religious belief. Hope that helps, as that was what I'm going with?

    Unless we really do have to go with the idea of Elysium being the final resting place of the heroic and virtuous. Then I'll have to think up something else for what I want to do.

    Either way, I'm definitely going to try to get in on this one, my artwork has remained stagnant for far too long.

    Does valhalla count? Or was there already a topic about valhalla? :-k
    Edit: ok, googled up a bit, this is greek mythology so no vikings

    Open-ended? I guess... but it has to be a plain or a field right?

    Of course I know where Elysium is, it's where the ships go.

    Art Crusade? Sounds very cool, but I couldn't find it in the "Activities" section...

    That'll show me for being out of it for too long eh?
