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 Veilcatchers of the Midnight Weavers
Harvest-moon webs of midnight silk, dark cloth, night-bird feathers, and memory beads woven to protect sleepers from harmful dreams and wandering spirits.
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.

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.

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.
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 Dream Box
