Elysia (expansion from fortress into city, removal of Asphodel)

The Asphodel Meadows are a section of the ancient Greek underworld where ordinary souls are sent to live after death. The Elysian Fields are a conception of the afterlife that developed over time, where only mortals related to the gods and other heroes could be admitted. They would remain at the Elysian Fields after death, to live a blessed and happy life, and indulge in whatever employment they had enjoyed in life.

Unifying the fortress and city into a singular location to be expanded upon over time, the beginnings of a new city emerge from the materials of an aged one—on top of a hearty additional surplus of money, a city to serve as the golden heart of the empire-to-be.

A small city to branch out south from the Elysian fortress following the removal of Asphodel from the map. Additions/changes include:

- A small marketplace to both move all of Asphodel's existing stalls to (as well as things like the Essharan Merchant) and to serve as a central roleplay hub as the Osronan marketplace does.
- Two larger player homes, four smaller ones, and a medium sized apartment complex to surround the market, as well as a decent sized inn (taken straight from Asphodel) to occupy the entryway and pepper a few of the remaining stalls around (as the market is somewhat small).
- A small, two room expansion to the fortress. First, a throne room with one royal throne and four court thrones (similar to Asphodel's current setup, but not as expansive of a room) that serves as the fort's new entry room, with the existing entry room beyond a further door. Second, stairs from the throne room to a small basement dungeon.
- A small elevated park with cute benches and flora.
- Walls demarcating the city (and protecting it from assault).
- Move the Asphodel spawn and rename it to "Elysia."
- Make the Elemental Imbalance quest accessible without moving through Elysian territory (probably with a boat).

Erika orn Soleis, Ezekiel orn Soleis, Sebas, and Alanis Grimmore are the main organizers. Other Elysian characters are involved!

Working on it.
