;Majestic painting of [[Shallam]] - 19000gp : Glinting from the centre of a sprawling, iron-gated [[city]] looming within the depths of the [[Pash Valley]], an elevated, magnificent golden dome casts a glittering iridescence over the white-washed buildings that surround it. The sky is awash with gold, orange, and red hues as the sun stretches her delicate, dancing fingers over the land and touches the interior of the city itself. The painting is framed in gold, with a small plaque along its lower edge.

;Nighttime painting of [[Ashtan]] - 19000gp : The Bastion of the North has been captured in this painting beneath a moonless sky full of stars. Glittering lights from the heavens reflect off the waters of [[Lake Balaton]] and the [[Sapphire Ocean]] to softly illuminate the city, which appears peaceful from this distant vantage. A polished wooden frame surrounds the image and bears an oval plaque made of solid gold along the bottom edge.

;Painting of a ghostly cemetery - 16000gp : Shadows and moonlight evoke an aura of mystery and melancholy in this masterfully rendered painting of an ages-old cemetery. An ominous mist drifts among the gnarled trees and headstones that mark the graves, bordered by a neglected iron fence that is beginning to rust. The silhouette of a tall mansion stands proudly against the midnight blue backdrop of the sky, with a smattering of clouds veiling the face of the distant moon. A lacquered frame of ebony borders the piece, with a small silver plaque along its base.
;Painting of a snowy mountain [[:Category:Villages|village]] - 20000gp : This painting depicts a quaint village nestled between the snowy mountain peaks of the Southern [[Vashnars]]. Thin ribbons of smoke drift upward from the cottage chimneys, and the detailed figures of children and [[snow leopards]] roaming the streets are painted with delicate strokes. Above the town, the sky is resplendent with the vibrant hues of sunset, highlighting the pristine snow with soft blues and pinks and casting the entire piece in a golden glow. A thin frame of ebony gives a finished appearance to the piece, and along its lower edge is a small silver plaque.
;Painting of a treetop village at daybreak - 19000gp : The rising sun breaks over the heart of a lush forest in this elaborate painting, casting a golden glow upon the verdant leaves that crown [[Eleusis]]. Weaving amongst each other, the upper branches of the great oaks form pathways among the greenery, leading to natural dwellings patrolled by the shadowy figures of [[dryads]], [[tsol'aa]], and [[treekin]]. With fine brush strokes and vibrant hues, the scenery is rendered with lifelike detail, as though the painting were simply the view from an open window. Completed by a golden frame embossed with an ivy motif, a small plaque along the base bears the title of the work.

;Painting of [[Scarlatti]] and [[Selene]] - 20000gp : The [[Gods|Divine]] figures of Scarlatti and Selene are pictured here, walking hand in hand among the snowy streets of Caer Witrin in commemoration of the Great Bard's gift to the Lady. A shower of snowflakes drifts all about, gleaming like jewels upon doorsteps and rooftops of the surrounding [[:Category:Villages|village]], while a half-dozen magnificent snow leopards pose humbly before the Gods. When viewed from a sharp angle, the outlines of several crystalline [[spiders|arachnids]] are barely visible against the icy backdrop. Completing the painting is a frame of delicate silver embossed with snowflakes, a small plaque along its lower edge bearing the work's title.
;Painting of [[Mhaldor]] viewed from the Northern Vashnars - 19000gp : The dense, [[red fog|crimson fog]] surrounding the city of Mhaldor has been captured upon this canvas with vivid strokes of oil paint, swirling around the mountain that once trapped the malevolent [[Sartan|God of Evil]]. Bubbling tar pits, piked heads, and impaled corpses litter the [[:Category:Islands|island's]] scarred landscape, while black thunderclouds gather over [[Baelgrim Fortress]] at the heart of the city. Within the face of the mountain is a massive gatehouse looming over a wide moat, both protecting the entrance to the city of [[Apollyon|Suffering]] and [[Shaitan|Oppression]]. Framed in obsidian, a simple plaque at the base of the piece bears a short inscription.

Completing the painting is a frame of delicate silver embossed with snowflakes, a small plaque along its lower edge bearing the work's title.
;Painting of [[snow blossoms]] - 15000gp : This simple still-life painting features a generous pile of small white blossoms filling a shallow bowl of cobalt blue. The tiny, bell-shaped [[flowers|flowerets]] are painted with meticulous detail, each dainty petal tinged with a hint of pink. Paired with a tall vase of amber-hued glass and a ripe orange, the arrangement rests upon a wooden table against a dark backdrop. The artwork is framed with finely grained wood that closely matches the table in the painting, and along its lower edge is a small golden plaque.

;Painting of the moon over [[Hashan]] - 19000gp : Painted with delicate brush strokes, trees grow thickly over the snow-covered terrain of this cityscape's background. Upon the horizon, a red moon rises in a sky awash with purple wisps of cloud, the remaining yellow light of the setting sun, and the blue of the sky overhead. Reflected in the patches of snow visible from this vantage, the light of the firmament overhead illuminates the walls and blackened surroundings of a great city in the midst of the thickest part of the [[:Category:Forests|forest]]. Buildings crafted of black marble and the occasional splash of vibrant white stand stark and stolid within the wilderness, following before fading into two roads that disappear almost immediately within the foliage of the [[Northern Ithmia|North Ithmia]] to the north and south. A small plaque at the bottom of the obsidian frame bears the piece's title in flowing script.
