Collection: October - The Black Cat

In October 2024, subscribers met the Black Cat.

Pont Lacuna, also known as the City of Canals, is rumored to be unmappable. Its waterways are a tangle of turns and blind alleys. Mapmakers climb to the top of the city’s towers to sketch its islands and landmarks. They pool their efforts, each working quickly on a section of a larger map in order to assemble a full picture of the landscape. 
 
But by the next day, the currents change direction. A building or two slips beneath the surface. New bridges are fashioned from stacked tables, doors, boughs, or ropes. Even the locals get turned around in the twisting, mutable streets, especially when the mist creeps in. 
 
The Black Cat knows the city’s secrets:  gardens, humming with Bees and Dragonflies; walltops warmed by autumn sunbeams; the route to reach the Island of Spirits.  He pads confidently along his path, pausing to greet certain shopkeepers as he makes his rounds.

The Black Cat Box includes an abundance of beautiful objects; hints and additions to expand the story; a mysterious document; and a lore card.
