The Traveller’s Guide
Overview
Elysium is the Underworld’s premium lounge: endless sunshine, warm breezes, waterfalls that never need cleaning and a guest list of heroes who will absolutely tell you about that time they slew a monster.
Getting there
Admission is by judgement only. Minos, Rhadamanthus and Aeacus review your life and decide where you go. Bribery does not work. Neither does a strongly worded letter.
What to see
The Isles of the Blessed, for souls who earned Elysium three lives in a row. Achilles is said to live there, and he will want to show you his heel. Politely decline.
Local etiquette
Do not mention the people you left behind in Tartarus. Do not ask the heroes how much of their story was exaggerated. All of it was, and they know you know.
