"Elysion" is the capital of the Golden Kingdom of Earth ruled by Prince Endymion during the Silver Millennium, with Helios as its guardian.

Nomenclature and Etymology[]

It is named after Elysium from Greek Mythology. This was a paradise which would give its residents a happy afterlife. In the Eternal Edition translation of the manga, this location is directly called Elysium.

90s Anime[]

In the 90s anime, Elysion was first revealed to Chibiusa in her dream in episode 158. In that episode, Pegasus took Chibiusa (temporarily grown up because of a spell by PallaPalla) to fly over the devastated kingdom to reawaken her true dream. Mamoru was taken to Elysion in episode 165 when the Sailor Senshi were fighting with Queen Nehellenia. When he arrived, he was transformed into Prince Endymion and entered the castle. Helios explained who he was and apologized for not being able to protect the Golden Crystal.

After the Amazon Trio turned good and, after their deaths, were revived by Pegasus, and then turned into orbs of light as Pegasus led them to Elysion, where they remained.

Elysion was restored to its original state when the power of the Golden Crystal was restored.

Manga and Crystal[]

Elysion is the heart of the Earth and is located deep inside of it. During the time of the Silver Millennium, Helios remained in Elysion after Prince Endymion left for the surface of Earth. There he was the priest of Elysion's shrine where he prayed alongside the Maenads.

After the fall of the Silver Millennium , Queen Nehelenia set her sights on Elysion. Over thousands of years, Helios and the Maenads resisted the Dead Moon's invasion but eventually fell. Elysion became cursed and became a dark wasteland covered in black roses. Helios was also cursed and turned into a Pegasus, and the Maenads had to take refuge in the Purifying crystals of Elysion. They were the only survivors.

In Act 46 of the manga, Pegasus saved Usagi and Mamoru from an attack by Zirconia and brought them to Elysion. They went to the shrine where Helios revealed the story of Elysion. After they return to the surface, Helios sends the crystals the Maenads were resting in to the surface to save the Sailor Guardians who soon after return to Elysion for the final battle.

With Queen Nehelenia defeated and the Golden Crystal released, the curse on Elysion lifted and it once again became a beautiful paradise where Helios and the Maenads remain to pray.
