Forvon's Gallery

Art Gallery & Museum
Opened in 12287, Forvon has been the sole proprietor and manager of the gallery. The gallery features a main hall with a balconied second floor looking down to the main hall, off the main hall are two smaller halls. Most of the art while very well made is mundane, what draws most visitors are the few magical pieces.

The Gallery is the largest in Covania and also has most expensive entry fee at 5gp but grants access for a month.

Notable Works

Tapestry of Reweaving. This magnificent tapestry at first appears to display a scene depicting life in King's Hold. The threads giving it brilliant colours and incredibly fine detail. Expressions can almost be made out on the tiny faces of any people living nearby. Watching the tapestry closely reveals it is not an idyllic depiction of a time gone by. It is alive, threads shifting and reweaving itself. You see a couple walking into the gallery, looking over your shoulder you see the same couple paying for entry.

Grand painting. Located in the main entry this grand piece depicts a green dragon as it sleeps in a hidden grove amongst dense forests, leaning in to inspect the details you can hear the gentle stream of water and feel the calming breeze of cool air through the leaves. As you look over the dragon it's eyes are open and staring back at you. A blink of disbelief and you find it eyes closed sleeping again.

“Self Portrait.” This strange piece as you approach looks empty but as you stand infront of it oil paints seep from the sides mixing in the middle, after a minute you see a portrait of yourself, the detail is stunning it seems to highlight your features and dulls flaws while remaining realistic and faithful, stepping away or looking away causes the paints snake back into the frame.

Knight Statue. This statue is an incredibly life like sculpture of a knight with unknown armour and sigils, he looks slightly upward, helmet tucked under his left arm and right hand resting on a sheathed sword, a plaque underneath reads “Bartholomew, Knight of Anera. Was found 200 years ago and was freed from petrification but spoke an ancient language, mages used spells to allow conversations, he spoke of Anera a now forgotten godess or queen, non-existant nations, and devastating war. Scholars estimated him to be from the Age of Darkness ~10,000 years ago. Bartholomew tried adapting to the new world but after a year asked to be turned back to stone, having lost everything but not wishing to die.”

Calming Tapestry This modest tapestry depicts a countess and a minstrel at a picnic facing away from the viewer and towards the sun setting over Ferrabreeze, next to the piece are two baskets, one with clean cloth gloves and other labelled 'to be washed', a small sign instructs to please wear a glove before touching the tapestry. Donning a glove you brush your hand against the artwork, you hear melodic song being played on a lute and a soft hum following on.
