The Elysium Paradox is a play written to tell the final moments of Jacob, just before the awakening of the Raven and the fall of the Tower. Watch as he struggles to free himself from the pain of his past as those in the present aim to utterly break his resolve so that the Raven may be manifest. Jacobs's story is paralleled and intersected by that of a man named Ralathor who desperately wants to help Jacob avoid his fate. But as with all things within destiny's grasp, the harder you fight against the strands that anchor us to our futures, the more damage we cause as those strands rip apart.
