While exploring through the halls of Obernewtyn the teknoguilders stumbled upon a mass of old-time paintings. One of the teknoguilders is able to determine that the paintings are referred to as 'portraits' and that Beforetimers used to have them done up by artists in order capture the essence of a person, to be remembered for years to come.
A lot of people around Obernewtyn are now looking for people who are good with paints to draw up such a picture for themselves.
