Elysium Isle

Introduction
Directly below the Ethereal and is governed by a Council of Divine Celestials. The Celestials are considerably strict about who can pass into Elysium. The Council is quite authoritarian over those who are connected to it, that being the Angels. Who act mostly as helpers, workers, and soldiers. They have very little individuality, though some escape and head into Gensekai. Once an Angel escapes from their boundaries; they are deemed as defective and cannot rejoin. However this allows them free reign from that point on. Angels are the bulk of the population and are ranked depending on how close they are with the High Celestials, with the bodyguards of the Celestials being the highest rank.

Yet, they are still given the least rights.

The second aspect of Elysium is the fact that many faith gods reside up here; absorbing the faith of their worship in Gensekai and living a carefree and jovial life here complete with feasts, fishing, and other things. Most faith gods can travel up here whenever they want; though any that have tried to displace the Council of Celestials or caused problems with/criticized the stability (hidden oppressions) of heaven have been banned.

Various Yokai and other divine beings also live here; and can also live calm and carefree lives but of course, cannot try to bring about any large changes or speak ill of the Celestials.

Many Celestials and their families live in the Isle as well, and Celestials are responsible for bringing up other Hermits to be given their Veils and become a Celestial. They are the most gifted and respected people of Elysium, being able to make Angels their servants and act however they will in life.

High Celestials
A group of powerful Celestials and even godly Divine Spirits that are in charge of managing Elysium and those who pass through it. They are lead by the Divine Spirit Goddess of the Moon, Esmeray, who was the first god to achieve divinity and rose into the Isle. They maintain an iron fist on Elysium and Esmeray is toted as perhaps the most powerful person within the bounds of danmaku. Luckily. she has no interest in doing anything drastic as long as her control on the Isle is maintained, and many of her council work with her to make sure everything is run painfully smoothly.

Though, some of her associates are getting restless...

Purity
A big deal for Elysium, things the are impure are usually captured on sight when entering Elysium Isle, living or not, inanimate objects are usually destroyed, and people are usually thrown out, but sometimes they will be executed by Esmeray's order depending on the threat they pose. Anything that is surrounded by growing life can be considered impure, as life means death, and death is the greatest source of impurity. Gensekai is one of the most impure places, and as such, anyone who comes from Gensekai is required to bathe in purifying springs before re-entrance.

Due to Elysium being a land of nothing but purity, and therefore has a lack of life, anyone living in it will not age until they leave it.
