In Greek mythology, Elysium was a section of the Underworld that housed the 'Elysian fields,' where the the souls of the heroic and the virtuous took up their final resting place.

The Elysian Clan is an incredibly religious group, probably more so than any other land beneath the demigods' reign. Being proud of their heritage and the world they have been given, they feel it is their duty to show how thankful they are on a daily bases. Shrines throughout the land have been set up for just such a purpose and though it's not compulsory, it is of genuine curtsey that most wolves will go to pay their respect at these alters.
Eden is considered to be a god upon the earth, and though that is true to an extent, she still feels it necessary to pay for her own existence. Thus is the reason she took up home in the Pantheon of Rome, the divine temple used by the humans to worship the gods.
Those of the Elysian clan are a quiet bunch, well-spoken and polite but despite as much, they can and will be quite withdrawn around those outside their land. Those that do not show the same amount of respect to the gods as they, though not frowned upon, will be considered as inferior.
Each member of Elysian may vary, some are kind and out going, whilst others are cold and withdrawn. Even so, each and every beast that walks the land are loyal to the clan and acknowledge and accept the laws by which they run their lives.
The pack itself is relatively small in comparison to the land they dwell upon, with Eden being quite selective of who she allows to join, but it is tight knit none-the-less and the members look out for one another. Seeking acceptance to this clan will be hard work, but those that do succeed will rarely feel they've chosen to walk the wrong path.

Goddess: Eden
Those wishing to join Elysian will have full run of the entire northern hemisphere. If you do not wish to primarily belong to her clan, you will still be beneath her rule. No one in the Northern Hemisphere is exempt to this rule.
Who do we accept?
All and every species of canine is permitted to live within Elysian Land (save those extinct to the present day,) however the clan itself is relatively select on who it allows. Eden will only permit acceptance to those she feels the clan will benefit from having on board. If you are trying to get a weakling into the clan then chances are Eden'll send you away to toughen up before allowing you in. She won't, of course, send your character away to die should they be in need of help, they'll be put in the care of one of her personal guards until they're either well enough to be accepted, or else turned away.
Is Elysian a hostile clan?
Not at all. They're a close knit bunch who take life seriously. Eden is a little hostile, yes, but they are - not - cruel, bloodthirsty or power man.
How am I accepted?
Post within the Elysian Clan's sub-board and either Eden or one of her guards will come find you. ^-^
