Mr. Marrow, Gentleman at the Threshold
A remarkably talkative grinning skull who appointed himself to the Caravan's entrance and became its permanent greeter, rule-keeper, and unlikely guardian against what waits beyond the lanterns.

The Veilcatchers of the Midnight Weavers
Harvest-moon webs of midnight silk, dark cloth, night-bird feathers, and memory beads woven to protect sleepers from harmful dreams and wandering spirits.
Open the recordThe Grave Marker of the Musical Four
The single stone that marked the resting place of four brothers whose spectral ballad still gathers listeners after dark.
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.
