Talk:Muse

"Both the Garden of the Arts in Cyrene and the Temple of Scarlatti in Caer Witrin host statues in tribute to each of the traditional muses, after which nine of the forest spirits are named:" So the forest spirits are not the muses? We need some clarity, or else that sentence seems to point at the OOC source of the forest spirits' names. --Krypton 19:57, 22 April 2008 (GMT)

I actually don't think the "Nine Muses" concept was rooted in Achaea originally. The forest spirits predated Scarlatti's introduction of them as far as I know. Anyone else know anything? Asara 02:11, 23 April 2008 (GMT)

Nope, it wasn't an original concept. The hope is that Scarlattan lore can adequately account for them having always been (at least in realms) inspiration for the arts, as well as forest spirits. --Krypton 02:20, 23 April 2008 (GMT)
