| This article is about the character Elysian. You may be looking for Elysian's Island, where said character lives. |
Elysian is mentioned in Unlocked and Stellarlune. In Unlocked, Councillor Kenric mentions this term in the memory that Oralie's cache holds, but does not elaborate. It is something that Kenric was investigating along with Stellarlune, but he refused to tell Oralie. The last paragraph of Stellarlune reveals that the forgotten secret of Elysian is actually a person. All that is known about her physical appearance so far is that she wears a grey cloak. When she appears, everyone's abilities seem to stop working. The last few sentences of the book and the first bit of dialogue she has states, "You're not supposed to." and then "My name is Elysian. And I am the power source you're all here looking for." Shannon Messenger said that the end of this book was what the entire series had been leading up to, meaning that Elysian will play an important role as the series comes to a close.
Elysian appears to be the name of an island as well as a person. She may to have the power to switch off abilities.
