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 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.
Open the recordThe Soul-Stealing Mirror
An ornate, golden-framed looking glass that shows each viewer everything they most wish to see, then imprisons the soul that chooses its promised reflection over reality.
Open the recordSeraphine's Lanterns
Glass lanterns once used to hold Jasper and his companions as fireflies while they repaired the enchanted forest boundary they had broken.
Open the recordThe Instrument of the Seventh Listener
A pale wooden four-stringed instrument whose Harvest Moon melody attracts one listener too many.
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.
