• Welcome.

    • You have no doubt purchased a ware before—a shoe, a shirt, a shawl or two—so you may believe you know the practice well. But let us assure you: summoning a Jaded Lament relic is no simple act of mercantilism. It is a binding, a beckoning, a quiet reckoning between soul and sole.
    • In truth, you may believe you are choosing a relic. But in our experience, it is the relic that chooses you.
    • Each Jaded Lament ware is etched with forgotten history, threaded with enchantment, and steeped in arcane power. They resonate uniquely with each seeker—attuning to known and unknown humours, temperaments, and inward inclinations.
    • Consult the guidance below to match thyself not with what merely fits, but with what completes.

The First Phase: Deciper The Relic Codex

Each Relic is accompanied by a scroll which bears a full accounting of the wonders, hauntings, and enchantments bound to the totem. Study carefully, start to finish, to fully divine the wisdom within

Fragment 1: Image and Title

This entry contains the rarest and most complete renderings of the relic, alongside the official Lament title bestowed upon it.

Should the form stir the pulse and the name cling to your tongue like a half-remembered spell, the relic is likely calling to you.

Fragment 2: Powers Bestowed

Perhaps one of the most sacred entries in the codex: a listing of the three enchantments said to manifest upon the wearer of the relic.

We’ve been asked—persistently—to verify and guarantee these powers with certainty. But the realm of Jaded Lament dwells not in a tidy binary, but in the infinity of shimmering shadows between true and false.

Can we claim with surety that these relics bestow power? No, we cannot—if only because the witches, warlocks, faeries, and darker entities who imbued them have strictly forbidden us from doing so.

Fragment 3: Discovery Note

The existence of counterfeit wares are a source of unceasing vexation for the Laments—false relics peddled to the unsuspecting and uninitiated. For this reason, every true relic is accompanied by a detailed provenance: where it was found, under what conditions, and which portents surrounded its emergence.

These records are not merely factual. They are poetic impressions, emotional signatures, that may stir deep within you, should the relic sense it has found a worthy home.

Fragment 4: Why the Laments Love the Relic

The Laments possess a discrimination of the highest order, rejecting far more relics than they ever deem worthy of their vaults. For a relic to be adorned with the legendary Jaded Lament serpents, it must first be adored—relentlessly, perhaps even obsessively.

Here, we record reasons for such devotion.
Perhaps you’ll find that you agree.

Fragment 5: Who Shall Adore This Relic

Here we record those fortunates—and unfortunates—who have found themselves bound to the relic through the ages.

Listen! Dost thou hear the song it sings? If so, the relic has likely already made its choice. Surrender to the siren’s call.

Fragment 6: Atmospheres + Moods

Lament archivists, through time and space, have observed and recorded those invisible qualities that elude the human eye—those which cannot be fashioned by human hands.

Perhaps the truest indicator of a relic’s essence, these effervescent traits are not easily explained—only recognized, acknowledged, and indulged. If the relic is meant for thee, thou shalt feel a quiet kinship stirring deep within.

Fragment 7: Prevailing Vibes

For every relic in our collection, a seasoned Lament scholar devotes precisely 573 days to full immersion in its essence and emanations. Only upon completing this arduous process are they deemed worthy of the issuance of a final appraisal—a distillation of mood, aura, aesthetics, and symbolic resonance.

That appraisal is presented here, for your contemplative edification.

Fragment 8: Hymns of Relevance

Music is the most tangible overflow of the hidden realms into our own—an audible shimmer from worlds unseen, real, and imagined.

Should we be surprised, then, that these relics, too, may be strengthened by a soaking in song? The Laments have curated five compositions attuned to the spirit of each relic. Should these melodies swell your soul, the match is likely true.

The Third Phase: Reap Wisdom from Queries Posed Again & Anon

Over epochs lost to most calendars but etched in Lament ink—eras devoted to study and relic-curation—we have compiled countless volumes of inquisitions, many posed time and again by wanderers, seekers, and the curiously haunted.

Avail thyself of the accumulated answers contained within these scrolls of learning, and spare thyself from asking what has already been asked beneath a dozen moons.
