so an elf that can nullify abilities? that scares the council. and sure, they can try to control elysian and make her grow up loyal to the council, but if more elves manifest that ability, the council can’t keep an eye on them all, and they’re scared that at one point, they’ll rise up against them, and they won’t be able to defend themselves without their abilities. so to protect themselves from what they see as a threat…they lock her away. i’m not quite sure how the power stones tie into this - perhaps elysian used them once and that was what pushed the councillors into locking her away, and the nightfall event probably has a different meaning than what sophie’s been told, so maybe that? idk - but either way, elysian is locked up and her existence forgotten about. the elves don’t want anyone to know about this huge vulnerability, so the councillors hide it away in their caches, forbid anyone from talking about it until eventually she’s completely forgotten. shannon herself mentioned that this is the biggest secret in all of the lost cities.
