"The Fifth Virgin" was painted by Noris Tuwar. It is a famous work of art and painted as it's subject, a noble woman of Southrun posed for it. The noble woman did not care for the work, resenting its libidinous undertones and demanded another be made. Noris secreted the original out with him as he was ushered from her remote palace.
While the curious name of this work has been debated, most sages of art believe that the reference to virginity came from his attempt to belie any titillating aspects of the painting, and that the number refers to how many times he attempted to mollify his patroness.
Noris himself came to an untimely end... apparently his love of wine was his undoing as he was found dead of extreme intoxication in his art studio. This painting was well-hidden in his personal effects and was recovered only when the Heralapix came to take custody of the body of one of their Accomplished Masters.

The original now hangs in the Hall of Art at the Heralapix of Ald Ciula.
