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 Tea Caddy of Borrowed Dreams
A flowered tea caddy with a painted heron that crosses its landscape one stolen dream—and one cup—at a time.
Open the recordThe Alchemist's Cabinet
A tall cabinet of nearly black wood whose shifting labels offer every needed ingredient while quietly collecting payment from the alchemist who uses them.
Open the recordThe Silver Requiem Vessel
A baroque apothecary bubble jar framed in silver and sealed around black water drawn from the River Styx.
Open the recordThe Pumpkin Mimic
A flawless jack-o'-lantern that copies itself across nearby pumpkins, grows with admiration, and eats whatever disrupts its idea of perfection.
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.
