Art History Overview

Art History is a specialized skillset that's often viewed as pointless by the common folk. Adventurers, Historians, Librarians, and Travelers may wish to study the skill, for identified paintings are worth much more than those left unidentified.

In-Game Description

Understanding of the rich history of art in Alharth.

Training Art History

Jesina, a Fairy merchant operating out of Eltibule, may be willing to teach the skill to anyone willing to help her rescue her sister from slavery.

Unidentified Paintings are often found in dungeons. Sometimes, defeated wild animals are found to have eaten a painting.

  • Serbule Crypt : There are a few rooms with platforms and ledges from which you can grab paintings.
  • Goblin Dungeon : Paintings are found throughout this dungeon. The goblins seem to have stashed the higher value paintings deeper in the dungeon.

In general, paintings with higher values will give more xp when identified. They can also be identified by their golden border, instead of the normal brown one. Here are a few examples of identified paintings, roughly in order of increasing value:

Painting Value Description
10 This is a novice students' attempt to mimic Landrisil's masterpiece, "The Forest Before Dusk".
10 The tell-tale signs of Newakis fatbrush-strokes indicate that this is a novice goblin painting, probably a teenagers' efforts.
20 This painting of a waterfall is bland and uninspired, but you can barely make out an older, better painting underneath. The older painting looks to have been a practice piece by a goblin expert.

 20 This scribbled mess is supposedly about pies, but it doesn't contain any recognizable shapes -- just ugly blobs. It's unsigned and unappealing.
20 A lovely forgery of "Snake Widow Lake" by Hermard Torsitan, the most esteemed living human painter.
30 This is the work of an elven artisan from approximately 300 years ago. It has a slight kitsch factor, and may look good on a wall, but it has little monetary value.
Error: Item not found
 
 30 It's an extremely poor forgery of "Last Autumn Sunset" by Kot Bhenul. There isn't even any real gold in the gold paint!
40 This nature scene depicts Traticus, the mythical elven hero, entering the Woods of Disdain. The subject matter dates the painting to the New Revisionist period, 150 years ago. By elven timelines this was very recent, making the painting extremely tacky. Perhaps it will gain value in 300 years, however.
40 The painting is a student effort by an untrained hand, but the frame is quite lovely.
40 This depiction of the Tower of Treason was made by an elven Phot craftsman, using their signature one-bristle brush.
50 This ugly piece has been preserved through the ages solely because it depicts Grigtekark, a goblin holy land.
50 A breathtaking scene of the old Council grounds of Ema. It seems to be 3000 years old. Sadly, however, there are traces of Alteration Magic in the paint, and it could well be a forgery.
250 A mass-produced replica of Sherig's "Ovallia". Tacky and somewhat low-quality, but it's currently popular among the nouveau riche.
50 This is clearly the work of a skilled goblin artisan. Made in the recent Three Hierarchies goblin style, it is probably very new.
100 This is an original numbered Ertrigard painting. The master is beloved for waterfall scenes like this one. However, thanks to his magic brush, he created over 40,000 paintings during his lifetime, so being "original" doesn't really make it too terribly special.
150 A blurry watercolor without much to redeem it. However, it was made with highly magical elven pigments that can be reclaimed.
200 You can kind of make out little orc faces and little stork bodies in this abstract painting, although you have to squint. It's bright and upbeat, but you've never heard of the painter.
200 A portrait of a red-robed mage with a trained battle-rat. The mage is crying over a mug of spilled beer. There are no shields present in the picture. (Artist unknown.)
250 This piece is absolutely stunning... literally. Its magical pigments cause the viewer to very briefly lose their balance when viewing the painting. It's also a lovely painting and you're not sure why the artist bothered with the trickery.
200 A stunning find! This is a truly ugly painting, but the lack of depth and proportion suggest that it was made by someone in the pre-Council era, making it at least 10,000 years old.
250 A lovely scene. Perhaps it was created by Mirkym -- it has her signature approach to foliage -- but probably just created in the same style by an admirer of her work.
250 An original work by an elven name you don't recognize, Errasteria. It's lovely.
250 A gorgeous replica of Crea's "Esoteria", complete with all 88 hidden symbols. Most noticeable is the three-headed duck in one corner, representing the three states of nature.
250 A portrait of Khyrulek's young daughter. She's a pale Human child, no more than five years old, and she looks miserable.
