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.

Since there's at least some difference in meaning, I don't mind the continued existence of the Concubines article. I suggest you transfer any information about concubines that you might have missed (the Concubines article atm is pretty general) from the Courtesans article to your Concubines article. Then the concubines section on the Courtesans article can be removed. Crook ^{The Constantine District} 09:09, January 24, 2017 (UTC)
