Re: The Curious Character of Al-Yasin (Score: 1)

The true fate of Al-Yasin, and the secrets of what drove him to behave as he did will be revealed in time. But I will offer this:
From the writings of Rainer Fritz-Hannar, formerly a sage of Pontylver until he ran afoul of the Imperial Orthodox Church and found himself tried, convicted, and exectued for heresy and blasphemy.
...from following the works of Al-Yasin, it is easy to trace his descent into madness. The first of his paintings show the beauty in the world, although they offer hints about what may lay beneath that beauty. These are among the easiest of his works to find, for most of them were murals painted to glorify Pholtus and his cathedrals.
The middle period of his works begin to show more of the hints of a darker truth behind things. A sharp eye can sometimes discern indistinct forms amid the shadows, meanacingly moving about the more mundane figures in the pictures. These paintings are harder to view, as many belong in private collections among the nobility.
The last set of the Bakluni's works are among the hardest to find, for many have simply vanished. Those few I have been able to see have been uniformily disturbing, although there is often no reason for them to have such an effect. From even the few that I have seen, it is almost painfully obvious the painter had been driven mad, and was having delusional visions.
Or so I hope... |
