Muse of the Seas is a monumental sculpture situated within Sylvaris Port, standing as an enduring symbol of prosperity and progress for the shipping industry in the █████████████████ of Oakhaven. █nveiled on January 1, 1987, the statue coincided with the completion of the first phase of the harbor expansion project initiated under then-mayor Adelina Farnsworth. The structure, twenty-three meters tall, depicts a young woman holding an hourglass in one hand and a lamp in the other. Its erection cemented the economic importance of the harbor following its installation, serving as a focal point for the city's maritime infrastructure.[1]
The sculpture is carved entirely from marble extracted from quarries in the Sylvaris Mountains. The design emphasizes artistic elegance and maritime symbolism, chosen to reflect the region's deep historical ties to the sea. The figure stands near the junction of the █████████ River and the port facilities, overlooking the harbor expansion area completed in 1987. Since its unveiling, the site has been integrated into the city's infrastructure, becoming a landmark for travelers and locals alike.[2]
On August 14, 2061, the area surrounding the statue was affected by the 2061 Sylvaris City coordinated attack. While the primary targets were urban centers and transit hubs within Sylvaris City, the proximity of the harbor and the statue to critical infrastructure meant the area suffered collateral damage during the conflict. The event resulted in 842 deaths and is documented under 2061 Sylvaris City coordinated attack. Investigations into the perpetrators remain ongoing as of November 2062.[3]
