The cabinet catalogue
The Reliquary
The collection is never quite arranged the same way twice. Six objects have been drawn from the cabinets for your examination.
Aurelian's Bottled Dragon's Breath
A crystal distillery bottle holding a glowing crimson essence in which the stolen breath of an ancient dragon—and a second, smaller rhythm—continue to breathe.
Open the recordThe Cage of Schrödinger's Bird
A silver cage suspended between life and death, now occupied by Malcolm in the half-living, half-dead form of a bird.
Open the recordThe Instrument of the Seventh Listener
A pale wooden four-stringed instrument whose Harvest Moon melody attracts one listener too many.

The Alchemist's Cabinet
A tall cabinet of nearly black wood whose shifting labels offer every needed ingredient while quietly collecting payment from the alchemist who uses them.

Open the recordThe Bell of the Thirteenth Chime
The forbidden final bell from Giovanni Donato's sixteenth-century clock, built to claim any spirit still lingering after midnight's twelve chimes.
