Elysium

Elysium was a town located in an isolated area of Ko-Metru.

Creation
Like all other locations on Metru-Nui, Elysium was originally constructed with the rest of the Matoran Universe. As it was a small settlement, only a small number of Matoran chose to live there.

Concrete Bunker
Some time after the Fractures Universe's equivilent of the Dark Hunter/Toa War, a concrete bomb shelter was consructed in Elysium. Its construction and purpose remained unknown to the locals and was commonly rumoured to store weapons or surplus war supplies.

Growth
During the Brotherhood's Invasion of the Matoran Universe, Elysium was chosen as the site for Metru-Nui's largest jail and was funded to house the least dangerous prisoners that were captured in Metru-Nui. This was because Elysium is isolated and normally cut off from the rest of Ko-Metru with frequent snow storms. One of the conditions to having the prison built in the city was that - if a prisoner was to escape the compound - the entire Elysium Police Force would have to answer the call, which would be a great inconvenience. However, as the convicts attracted friends and lawyers, Elysium quickly became a popular travel town and began to grow by offering accommodation and entertainment.

Attitude towards the War
While Elysium was supposedly too isolated to be influenced by the outside world, a number of Matoran were persuaded to join the war effort and fight for Metru-Nui's defence. As Elysium was declared a 'war-free' zone - on the condition that it housed the prisoners taken in the war - an number of Matoran also migrated to Elysium so they would not have to fight. These Matoran were mainly weak or elderly. Subsequently, a gang of bikers recently moved into the town and set up a camp around the Concrete Bunker, much to the annoyance of the locals as the bikers refused to pay taxes and were known to litter the area.

More recently, a tour bus was caused to swerve by a poorly-driving biker and crashed on a road near to Elysium. Two of the passengers - Glonor and Knox - were able to contact the local Police Department, who dispatched Deputy Chief
