The Reliquary
The collection is never quite arranged the same way twice. Six objects have been drawn from the cabinets for your examination.

An empty bottle of cut glass and tarnished silver that preserved youth by spending the wearer's remaining years.
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 Cauldron of Perpetual Brew
A black iron cauldron that bubbles without flame and offers ambitious observers a reflection willing to take their place.
Open the record
The Blossoms That Never Wither
A twilight-glazed jar preserving perfect cherry blossoms by borrowing life and time from everything growing nearby.
Open the recordThe Cage of the Last Cricket
An empty pavilion cage of dark carved wood from which a cricket's song may still be heard beneath the Mid-Autumn moon.
Open the recordThe Grave Marker of the Musical Four
The single stone that marked the resting place of four brothers whose spectral ballad still gathers listeners after dark.
