Elysium is an old martian city on the Mars of the late 19th century.
Description[edit]
Elysium is located on the northern hemisphere at 20°N 114°E, where the canals do have an inflow from the northern polar cap. Long abandoned due to the Martians dying out at hand of a self-created plague, the city in the late 19th century got strange visitors taking up shelter within its walls.
History[edit]
Like all other cities, the inhabitants had to evacuate into the dreamscape when Raxachk released his deadly plague. When centuries later humans arrived on Mars, the inhabitants of Elysium egoistically took over their bodies while the humans visited the dreamscape, taking them to Elysium.
When finding them in Martian Dreams, the Avatar realized fast that the martians holding the human bodies hostage wanted no less than a solution to the body problem. However, re-growing martian bodies didn't work (as Prektesh had to experience the hard way), so with promises for robotronic bodies, the humans were finally returned to their bodies and the martians went to dreamscape until given their new bodies.
Lore[edit]
