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 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 Silver Requiem Vessel
A baroque apothecary bubble jar framed in silver and sealed around black water drawn from the River Styx.
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 Cage of Schrödinger's Bird
A silver cage suspended between life and death, now occupied by Malcolm in the half-living, half-dead form of a bird.
Open the recordThe Idol of Mitla
A squat gray idol from the resting grounds of Mitla whose hollow eyes enforce an ancient rule of exchange.

The Watcher at the Edge
A burlap-headed scarecrow whose changing gaze warns whether danger approaches from the field, the forest, the farmhouse—or the observer.
