Gray portrait The gray portrait is an artifact that halts the natural ageing process . History . The most common myth regarding this artifact tells of Belarian the Beautiful , a follower of Sune who supposedly lived in the seventh century before Dalereckoning . Despite his godess ' edict that beauty is only skin deep , Belarian lived his entire life attempting to enhance and preserve his physical appearance . So obsessed was he that he forsook Sune to petition any power that would listen to make it so his looks never degraded . One such power gave him his wish , granting the " portrait " to Belarian in exchange for his soul . No sage has confirmed the existence of Belarian , nor has anyone done anything more than speculate about his fate but it is known that the " portrait " has existed since the mythologically - stated time of Belarians life . It has been owned by several individuals since then but , as with many items of such power , its location has been lost . Powers . If the portrait remains in the possession of an individual for an entire tenday , an image of that individual appears on the otherwise blank canvas . Once this occurs , the owner of the portrait no longer shows any sign of ageing and will retain the looks and vitality that they had when they first acquired the item . As the owner grows older or is the subject of an attack that negatively affects their life - force , the portrait will take the penalties associated with such things , while the owner becomes effectively immune to them . However , these penalties will be stored within it and if the artifact is ever destroyed , every single penalty that the portrait has absorbed will be visited upon the owner immediately . Behind the Scenes . This item is obviously a take on the " Picture of Dorian Gray " by Oscar Wilde , a real - life work of fiction where a self - indulgent man acquires a painting that ages while he does not .
