The Muses
To the wolves of Muse there is not a set religion or
belief, persay. These wolves have essentially been exposed to the magic
of a broken oracle. Whereas before they were simply wolves, the
oracle's magic gave them the abilities of the four elements (which are
broken down even further into three sub-elements each). Each group of
wolves sharing the same element, over time, has come to look up to a
certain figure. These figures they deemed the muses. They are more like
faeries or demigods, as they have no real religion, and each
have their own time of celebration.
The wolves learned by observing the sky that certain stars become clearer during different times. They connected these stars and realised that there were pictures in the sky. From there they began to look up to figures in the stars, hoping that their wishes would be answered. Each constellation became a muse, the wolves' names for the creatures they drew in the sky, believing that the muses gave them stronger powers when they were brightest in the sky. They also used the muses as a way to keep track of time, having no organised calendar system.
During this time, the wolves hold a festival to the muse, where there is usually singing, dancing and storytelling. They also create various tournaments and have a feast, each themed different for each muse.
Note: There will be regular character-Muse interaction during the time of the festivals and celebrations with the particular muses and characters being celebrated. Other interaction between muses will probably only occur when a character receives their shard. Muses will probably not be any more active during other times, because we have limited people to play the Muses and they, too, have lives.
the muse of Erde
Jenova is the muse of the earthen elements of earth, growth, and metal. She is the muse of the hunt and good fortune, making her a very light and playful muse in spirit. Her pelt is a normal shade of ginger and her eyes are a striking green, giving her a normal appearance for the most part, except that she has wings made of leaves that change in tune with the seasons. There is usually a hunting tournament and large feast at the time of her celebration.
Celebrated: April
the muse of Hydor
Atalanta is the muse of the aquatic elements of ice, water, and restoration and is the muse of the sea. She has a pelt colored in a light, sandy hue with darker shades of brown mixing throughout, and her eyes are a mellow amber color. You'll know her by her frail, transparent wing like appendages that function more like fins in the water. They have the appearance of butterfly wings, but they are actually fins. A swimming tournament is sometimes held in her honor, along with a feast and storytelling.
Celebrated: January
the muse of Pyr
Cherufea is the muse of the fiery elements of light, fire, and solar. She is regarded as the muse of war and strength. She is black in colouration and her eyes are a very vivid yellow. In contrast to her rather normal appearance, her feet have the appearance of molten and dried lava and are extremely hot to the touch. They also seldom look like feet, looking more like great globs of magma. A fighting tournament and feast are held in her honor at her time of celebration.
Celebrated: July
the muse of Aer
Palatyne is the muse of the arid elements of storm, poison and wind and is often thought of as the muse of wisdom. Her pelt is a muddled, dark timber and her eyes are deep, rich amber. Her defining physical traits are long, electrically charged growths that stick up from the back of her legs and two more from her head, sprouting from around her eyes and going under her ears in a horn like fashion. A fighting tournament is often held in her honour, with a feast and long hours of stargazing after.
Celebrated: October
