The Samhain Harbinger Familiar Ghost Figurine - Cobweb

Awarded Entity Number - JJ1261-SHFC

Chosen 9th of October, in the Year of Quiet Hauntings.

Placed into the Kingdom of Sweden.

Cobweb is a handmade collectible Samhain Harbinger Familiar figurine created by The Nordic Ghost Merchants in Denmark, inspired by old Scandinavian folklore, autumn omens, and the Familiars recorded throughout Merchant accounts.

The Familiars do not belong to the guild. Not exactly.

They were never apprenticed, never sworn in, never given a merchant's mark. They simply... arrived. As cats do. And having arrived, they stayed. As cats do. They learned the rhythms of the guild; the long hours, the careful work, the particular silence of a room where old things are being recorded. And they decided this was acceptable.

They are not catalogued in the Merchant's Ledger.

They are aware of this. They have opinions about it that they have chosen not to share.

The Samhain Harbinger Familiars are most often recorded during the weeks when autumn begins to lean toward winter. Their arrival is noted around dusk, after rain, and wherever the last orange light gathers low against the ground. Whether they travel with the Harbingers or simply appear at the same time each year remains unresolved

Cobweb is most often recorded indoors on Samhain evenings, appearing among the upper shelves shortly after the last natural light has disappeared.

He has an unusual tendency to settle beside whichever task is currently least finished: an open ledger, a half-labelled crate, loose correspondence, abandoned twine. Early Chroniclers believed this indicated a desire to assist.

This theory has since been withdrawn.

Cobweb appears to be considering several matters simultaneously, although none have yet been identified with confidence. Ambrose's most recent assessment reads:

“Approximately thirty-eight. Three are making noise.”

Cobweb the ghost cat figurine stands at 5 cm in height.
