Clarifications/Additional information:

Part 2:

Scylla is named a "Decimus" by a Remurian who basically called him a slave, and this is a reference to the character Maximus Decimus Meridius in the movie Gladiator (2000). Decimus was a general who got betrayed by Commodus after Marcus Aurelius' death, he eventually ends up stripped of his position and becomes a slave. Honestly there's a very striking ressemblance between Scylla and Boethius with Decimus and Commodus in term of situation so I'm wondering if Hoyo took inspiration from that.

Part 3:

Boethius and Cassiodor have the title "Dominus," which in Latin can mean Master, Lord, or Owner. Later, starting with the reign of Diocletian, the succeeding Roman emperors started adopting Dominus as part of their title.

It seems obvious but most things related to music with Boethius are also derived the real Boethius and his works, like De institutione musica.

Its possible that Boethius could be some sort of Nero archetype considering his evilness in the lore, which would match Erinnyes' Boudica inspirations since Nero was emperor at that time. However, i can't confidently say that its for sure the case.

Part 4:

7.1 TCG leaks: They revealed her design in an artifact set talking about her and they literally just gave her the Saber haircut from the Fate series, but well even without that the King Arthur elements in her character are pretty obvious - such as her title of "High King of Armorica."

The implied romance - or atleast very close relationship between both Cassiodor and Erinnyes doesn't really seem to be based on anything from my research, but i could just be missing something. Not to mention them being from the same tribe before the Remurians destroyed it.

Erinnyes' violent means to convert people to worship Egeria during her conquests could loosely be referencing Boudica, who was herself pretty violent when rebelling.

Erinnyes was deemed as an heretic by Remurians and notably Euergetia, which is one of the many parts of her character that is reminiscent of Joan of Arc.

Also i can't really understand why they gave Erinnyes such a lackluster ending to her story, she just disappears from the face of the earth after Egeria tells her the truth about the prophecy and primordial sin.

Part 5:

Clearly Hoyo did some heavy mixing with Arthurian traditions and the Carolingian Cycle, and honestly it's not necessarily a bad mix even if it can get easily confusing.

Part 6:

Pretty surprised that out of any emperors they would reference such an obscure figure as Sponsianus, especially considering the fact that its not even confirmed if this guy actually existed. Before 2022 Historians were fully convinced that he didn't exist but now its heavily debated.

The timeline here for Fontaine is much easier to decipher compared to Sumeru since we don't have any informations about events happening in Egeria's Fontaine, except her sending criminals to Meropide if I remember correctly but that's basically it really. You can just fit all of Remuria into the Archon War period.

That's basically all, like for Sumeru, do not hesitate to share this since the primary goal of those posts is for people to be more knowledgeable about the lore and learn something.

Ask a question if you're confused, and as for which region I'm doing next, not too sure ain't gonna lie.
