Background/History: Muses are descended from an archaic race of forest nymphs, possibly of magical origin; the ancient Archaens often summoned such creatures for their pleasure, and their couplings occasionally yielded unexpected results.

Personality/Motivation: To other Talislantans, Muses often seem distracted, disinterested, and aloof. In fact, they are contemplative by nature, and are highly perceptive as regards their surroundings. Muses rarely speak, preferring to communicate via telempathy, or thought-images, which are used to convey information and emotions. When Muses wish to conserve telempathic energy, they have their whisp companions speak for them. Given the animated and occasionally sarcastic nature of whisps, communications of this sort can yield unpredictable results.

Powers/Tactics: Muses are natural telempaths, able to communicate by means of thoughts and images. All possess this unusual ability, the range and scope of which increase with practice. Muses can sense the strong emotions of others, broadcast and receive thoughts, project mental images, sense the presence of living beings, and even influence others’ emotions.

Appearance: Muses are among the most beautiful of the humanoid races. Their bodies are slender and lithe, their features delicate and exquisitely fashioned. They dress in translucent robes shaded in hues complementing the colors of their skin, hair and butterfly wings – pastel blue, aquamarine, turquoise, violet, and rose, to name just a few.
