The Harrowing Book 4: Of the Muse of Lethargy and Despair is one of eight interactive objects that contribute to the Perk The Harrowing.


Source[]

"Of the Muse of Lethargy and Despair" can be found in the Canadian Wilderness in the Hoarfrost Hills, on a well just north of the buildings in the abandoned settlement occupied by Argent. (It is right in the cusp of the areas patrolled by ARGENT and the area patrolled by the Hunter-Patriots.)

Object Text[]

The old man’s litany of blasphemous nightmares continued. I wanted to ask him about these kings of Edom, but feared to learn any more than he had already spoken:
“She is the Bastard child of Apollo, the tenth Muse no god claimed as his child and no poet includes in evocation, for he never writes the verse this Muse inspired. She dwells in the gap between conception and articulation. She is the ineffable, inexpressible reason a work is never completed, or never even begun. She is the reason an artist’s excuses are lies, and the true reason for inactivity despite a man’s talent, desire, or ambition. Hers is the opposite of Creation, and she rules all promise unfulfilled as the Muse of Lethargy and Despair.”
