Elysium

Round 2: The Struggle for Power

Many alliances held the top spot. Among them was The Concordium, which took the lead after the fall of Blue Tuba. Also known by their tag WaC, many people felt that the Concordium would dominate the rest of the round.

However, The Concordium had grown out of control, and its core rotted. Over 800 people carried the tag at one point, and there was no enforcement of its use. The junior wing of the Concordium grew and maintained its cohesiveness. None of the junior members were allowed full membership in the mother alliance, the reason being fear of making the alliance grow too fast as it had done when BT was a threat. Alliances that had helped the Concordium beat down Blue Tuba now saw good targets hiding behind the ones feared tag. The High Council within WaC communicated little, and there was little cohesiveness between members. Many good members left for other alliances like Legion, BD, and Fury. Several wings within the Concordium split off establishing separate and independent alliances.

Concordium simply collapsed. Former allies and members like Fury and Legion attacked, and even WaCjr hit their own. The alliances formed from ex-concordium players, like Sedition and Lost (among others), became targets for the now steadily growing and established Legion and Fury.

"The mighty warriors gathered. Their origins from Concordium, hardened by the Flames of Acheron and brought in among the Gods. They became Elysium"

A small group of ex-concordium players got together and decided collaborate into the new round. Elysium was formed at the end of Round 2: The Struggle for Power, by this group. At that time, the alliance was little more than an idea and a message board. One galaxy, 27:22, got into the top 100 before the end of the round, only to be beaten down by the major powers, eventually finishing just out of the top 100 galaxies. Elysium would become a true establishment the next round.
