Several times during the tenday, the short and often hooded form of Eranin can be seen around Valkur's Roar with a few canvases and a palette of oil paints, working for several hours in spots around the city... She doesn't speak to anyone, but her backpack(?) helpfully informs anyone around who seems interested that she's learning to paint and express things in an artistic way, inspired by recent artists around the city, and that she hopes to present some of her works at the upcoming Crafters and Merchant Faire. Her work seems largely personal to her, with some core emotion or thought and a mixture of imagery both at times dark and other hopeful, but a few have the vague images of people that Eranin seems to look upon fondly. |

Emerging from the Mages Tower, the short shrouded figure of Eranin steps out, taking in a deep breath of the exterior air. Some apparent commentary from her backpack of all things alludes towards discontent for being "cooped up all damn day". Before long the hooded woman takes a seat tucked up beside the fountain with a canvas and some charcoal drawing tools, and sets about the construction of another image, as she looks up now and then towards the Great Hall, whilst sipping on a cold flask of juice. As she begins packing up, a brief stop is made at the nearby Yuppa's clothing store where a few of the colour dye samples of the Valkur's Roar uniforms are stowed away with the rest of the artists materials.
Before closing the session out, the short figure tugs out a painted canvas from a few moons past and gazes upon it a long while in ever-present, heavy silence... and returns towards the Great Hall, carrying the art piece with her inside, to place on display where able, alongside other tributes and words for the departed Lady Mnomene.  Gold
A rectangular vertical canvas depicts two dragons locked in an aerial battle, painted in thick oils.
A heavy chartreuse and cloudy sky overshadows a desolate landscape below, where the vague impressions of a gathering of people gaze skyward above, at the centrepiece of the artwork:
A pair of dragons - One golden, and beautiful, though pierced with long lances of ice, and it's wing torn asunder - and the other a deep red with black swept back horns, and with wounds illuminated with divine golden light over its form.
The background of the scene, faintly visible through swirling mists, has the impression of a deep orange, topaz, towering draconic figure.

--- Lady Mnomene ---
Her noble soul shone as brightly as the most radiant stars, illuminating those she touched.
In her sacrifice she chose to bestow the gift of her enduring light upon the people of Valkur's Roar. She chose to see the worth and worthiness of the struggling people, and to offer her grand life for them.
The following day, Eranin returns to the space outside the Great Hall and works a few more hours on a piece, working at the canvas with looser strokes, before declaring the piece finished.  Roar
A rectangular canvas is painted in muted, desaturated tones, and marked with charcoal sketching indications, giving it a somewhat grey and weathered appearance.
The image depicts an assembled group of adventurers and guards, stood proudly in front of a large stone building heralding the flags of Valkur's Roar and Cormyr.

Eranin once again takes to the streets, spending a few days painting a wider canvas, whilst sat before the fountain by the Great Hall.
Fountain A rectangular canvas is sketched, and pressed in with charcoal lines - and painted in details focused upon the characters in the scene, near a fountain in a grey city. Five characters (and a crab) are positioned in the foreground of the scene. To those who might recognize their portrayals, from left to right they are: Tanya steel, Kiraden Sellows, Eranin Ketia, (Crab), Samozura Songblade, and Morganis Arren.
