Observant Portrait

This cunning magical object was given as a diplomatic gift to the kingdom of Amudra, by their rivals, the Republic of Gwaryn. The magnificent oil painting shows Gwaryn’s famous spymaster and plot-weaver, Owyllyn Despett, cleaning blood from his blade at a famous massacre of Amudran spies at the Gwaryn palace. It now hangs in the great hall of Amudra’s King Mochlos to remind him of his greatest foe.
Carefully hidden magic allows the Gwaryn spy corps to hear any words spoken nearby the painting, allowing them advance warning of most of Amudra’s plots, and greatly aggravating King Mochlos.
It is Lord Despett’s finest and most fond achievement, and brings him great joy to know how much cursing is thrown at his portrait on hearing that he has somehow foiled Amudra’s plots without putting himself into any danger whatsoever.
