Artifacts

This is a list of notable artifacts originating from The Dreamlands. Many of these objects defy physical law or narrative logic, serving as conduits of memory, imagination, or bureaucratic intent.

Known Artifacts

• Memory Crystallizer – Stores memories as glowing crystals; used to preserve or replay experiences.
• Narrative Compass – Points toward unresolved storylines.
• Pocket Elephant’s Bell – A miniature chime that summons philosophical advice.
• Dreamlands Mystery Gift Shop Receipt – An endlessly unfolding scroll listing items never purchased.
• The Scribe’s Quill – Writes on its own when near significant narrative change.

Usage

Artifacts are used by Dreamland entities, travelers, and occasionally bureaucrats to stabilize or destabilize thought-forms. Most appear to choose their users rather than the other way around.

Trivia

• The Scribe maintains the official registry of Dreamlands artifacts.
• Dook is known to carry one artifact at all times, but which one changes from scene to scene.
