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 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 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 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 recordThe Three Oracles
Three crystal spheres imprisoning gifted sisters: one in hollow splendor, one in unending regret, and Leota in service to the living and the dead.
Open the recordThe Box of a Thousand Footsteps
A teak reliquary carved with a procession of elephants, taken from an Assam shrine and followed by a spectral herd.
Open the recordThe Grinning Face of Hollow Grove
The weathered wooden likeness of collector Silas Vane, still wearing the top hat the grove carved into him when it decided to begin a collection of its own.
