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 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 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.

The 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.
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 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.
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.
