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 Scythe of the Last Ember
A black scythe forged from volcanic metal that never cools, cuts without resistance, and consumes whatever its wielder sacrifices to continued work.
Open the recordThe 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 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 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 Idol of Mitla
A squat gray idol from the resting grounds of Mitla whose hollow eyes enforce an ancient rule of exchange.
Open the recordThe Soul-Stealing Mirror
An ornate, golden-framed looking glass that shows each viewer everything they most wish to see, then imprisons the soul that chooses its promised reflection over reality.
