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.
The Guardian of the Returning Tide
A salt-weathered wooden voyaging guardian whose smile changes when danger approaches, warning those willing to listen.
Open the recordThe Last Fragrance
An empty bottle of cut glass and tarnished silver that preserved youth by spending the wearer's remaining years.
Open the recordThe Box of a Thousand Footsteps
A teak reliquary carved with a procession of elephants, taken from an Assam shrine and followed by a spectral herd.
Open the recordThe 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 Bitter Cup of Lady Chamberland
A fine porcelain teacup whose black, bitter contents repeat the cruel words spoken by its owner and refuse to remain empty.
Open the recordThe Black Book of Quarles
The cracked black volume in which Edgar Allan Poe signed the name Quarles, giving his words endurance and awakening the Caravan's eternal raven storyteller.
