Hmmm, why all daughters?  How about six sets of twins, one male and one female 
in each?

Outside Sedonia these might be deities of sound and speech.

Art meaning visual arts like painting and dyeing, with sculpture coming under 
Architecture?  What about pottery?  leatherwork?  weaving?

Possibly Art would be better as decoration and adornment with Architecture as 
structure and function.

Science should probably be Philosophy.  I don't see any indications that the 
scientific method has really rooted itself on Qaiyore.  History would include 
all forms of writing and recordkeeping.

Winemaking would be better as Brewing, covering the manufacture of wines, 
beers, and certain drugs.  Another option would be Preservation, covering 
drying, salting, and so forth, in addition to Brewing.
