Collection: September 2026: The Sleeping Serpent

In September 2026, subscribers encountered the Sleeping Serpent.

The old stories tell of an enormous Sleeping Serpent, protectively curled around the heart of the world, Dreaming it into existence. She makes the world as she Dreams, and it ends when she wakes. She remains when the world dissolves, and then she Dreams it back again.

They say that she slumbers beneath the tree roots of the Pomegranate Grove, twisting through the dark, rocky tunnels of the Birdmoss Below. The Serpent subsists only on the damp earthy air, growing slowly over millennia. Down here, earthquakes strike like lightning, but she continues to Dream the world in more and more elaborate designs, materials, and narratives. Here in the misty caverns, Spirits, like Moths, flutter with an erratic grace. Perhaps they remain even when she wakes up.

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