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 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 Urn of Ephyra
A pale clay urn bearing stolen symbols of the Fates and holding the final breath—and an echo of the soul—of the priestess Lyra.
Open the recordThe 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 Lion That Guarded the Wrong Door
A red-and-gold guardian lion commissioned to keep wickedness outside, but determined to confront dishonesty within its own household.
Open the recordThe Silver Requiem Vessel
A baroque apothecary bubble jar framed in silver and sealed around black water drawn from the River Styx.

Aurelian'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.
