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 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 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 Grinning Face of Hollow Grove
The weathered wooden likeness of collector Silas Vane, still wearing the top hat the grove carved into him when it decided to begin a collection of its own.
Open the recordThe Pouring Jar of Petronella Bloom
A silver ritual pouring jar whose flowers consume praise, lash out at criticism, and grow more demanding with every compliment.
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.
Open the recordThe Three Singing Pumpkins
Three jack-o'-lanterns containing Harold, Clarence, and Albert, condemned by Margery to sing through the Halloween night.
