Mechanical Age Portraits

Some very astute sleuths have made independent discoveries about the pictures in Sirrus' chamber in Mechanical Age. It was Peter Hargreaves who first posted about the portraits to the old Riven Lysts. I've recently learned that Myro not only found the portraits on her own, but with the help of another man, found the originals of the other two pictures.
