I've been considering making some changes to Elysium's theme, but I wanted to discuss this with everyone before making any changes- if everyone's cool with how things are, I'm down to keep it that way, and if not, I'd like to hear some ideas ^^
essentially I feel like having both the justice and the trading aspects at the same time, with equal focus, is a lot to have on our plates at once
while we could do events that fit both of them, that's a lot of events to run for not a lot of people
plus, the two of them don't really synergize well- while it's possible to mix both the justice and the trading together, right now they seem like separate things that are both pushed into the same clan
if we were to keep one of them and discard the other, I personally would prefer the trading/community aspect
the justice aspect isn't really getting to do much, and unless the other clans have a sudden influx of criminals that need to be tried, it probably won't anytime soon
the trading aspect would provide much more event/inter-clan interaction fuel, and it has some history with Sunhaven that could be paid homage to
and even then, justice could be one of the things Elysium values strongly, it just wouldn't be a theme if that makes sense
if we did still want to do two themes, we could consider dropping one of the original aspects and replacing it with another that has more synergy
for instance, we could bring back the star theme from the Ascendants- because there, we could have star-based currency (e.g. star-shaped coins, constellation-based denominations of currency) for the trading aspect, or constellation/zodiac-based traditions regarding when to hold trials or how to find people guilty/innocent for the justice aspect, so we could pretty easily blend the themes
we could also do a completely new and original theme, if anyone has any ideas for that
