The Curator’s record
These objects are catalogued as a protective ensemble. The Curator has declined to identify who continues repairing their webs.
Provenance
The Midnight Weavers created Veilcatchers from a tradition inspired by stories of Asibikaashi. Each bead remembers a person, promise, or protected dream. Several entered the Mystical Caravan by an unrecorded route.
Observed activity
Gentle dreams pass through the center and descend along the feathers. Fear, regret, restless whispers, and wandering spirits become caught until dawn. The beads sometimes move in still air.

The Story of the Midnight Weavers
Season 2 · Episode 08In tonight’s story, we travel beneath the harvest moon, where dreams are spun like silk and the boundaries between sleeping and waking begin to fray. There, the Midnight Weavers ply their ghostly craft, stitching comfort for the lost, and warning for the unwise. But be wary, dear listener… for every thread holds memory, and every web must choose what it lets through.
