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 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 Pouring Jar of Petronella Bloom
A silver ritual pouring jar whose flowers consume praise, lash out at criticism, and grow more demanding with every compliment.
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 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.
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.
