Spavia Theater: Musician’s Overlook

Region: Academagia Grounds[]

Chance of Discovery: 2[]

While the musician's pit of the Dimmae Theater is nice, many lute players prefer the openness of the Spavia Theater's Musician's Overlook for the frank and obvious reason that they are easer to see. Though you know full well that it is impossible, you still feel as if you can absorb some of those lute players' glory and adulation simply by being in the same place as they once were. With the Oleapia and Chordia Peaks framing the theater at a distance on either side, you feel like you can still hear the echoes of audiences from generations past flowing past you. If you're in the right frame of mind, then you can come away with the feeling that the echoes of the applause you hear are directed at you.

And, hey, maybe one day that really will be you up there.
