Elysium is a place for safety and enjoyment, a place where any walk of life is welcome without judgement or persecution. Though Elysium is led by the Mendacium family as a place for them to practice their beliefs without judgement from the outside world, these same tenets are extended to all of their members. Being a part of Elysium means you become extended family of the Matriarch and you will be treated as such.
While the pack will always be a place of protection that is free of judgement, if you cause harm to another wolf for create trouble with another pack, the safety of the pack as a whole will be more important than the individual. You will have to own up to the consequences of your mistakes.
Any wolves that wish to join must first be vetted by the Matriarch before they can be accepted into the pack.
