OBJECTION!!

I saw courtesans doing parkour, doing that run across walls where it's the one-foot-width wooden poles or the walls. Spartan-617 15:10, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Courtesans vs. Concubines

So I just created the article Concubines, only to realize that its content is already covered here. I'm not sure if concubines should go under this article.

The technical definition of a "courtesan" refers to a lady of court (though originally a courtier, male or female). Courtesans were well-educated and trained in the arts of music and dancing, especially in association with a wealthy or noble society. In this respect, a concubine to the emperor is a courtesan. However, the word "courtesan" as used in Assassin's Creed refers to prostitutes, or as a euphemism for prostitutes. Although concubines are essentially mistresses, Chinese concubines were not prostitutes (at least not the imperial ones, though maybe for a middle-class businessman they could be) and so are distinct from the courtesans in Ezio's trilogy.
