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 Owl at the Threshold
An iron owl door knocker that does not keep intruders out, but reminds the presence inside that it was never invited to leave.
Open the recordThe Dream Box
An ornate wooden box, no larger than a book, whose carvings of moons, stars, and sleeping faces promise each visitor the perfect life they most desire.
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 Blossoms That Never Wither
A twilight-glazed jar preserving perfect cherry blossoms by borrowing life and time from everything growing nearby.
Open the recordAurelian's Bottled Dragon's Breath
A crystal distillery bottle holding a glowing crimson essence in which the stolen breath of an ancient dragon—and a second, smaller rhythm—continue to breathe.
Open the recordThe Scythe of the Last Ember
A black scythe forged from volcanic metal that never cools, cuts without resistance, and consumes whatever its wielder sacrifices to continued work.
