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 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 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 Oracles
Three crystal spheres imprisoning gifted sisters: one in hollow splendor, one in unending regret, and Leota in service to the living and the dead.
Open the recordThe Séance Bell of Ravensmoor Hall
Madame Celestine Vail's small silver séance bell: one tone for remembrance, two for sorrow, and three for presence.
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 recordMr. 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.
