Piermont & Thorne’s Demon in a Box features 66 cursed containers, each one unique, each one rumored to hold an evil entity.
Demonologists and occultists may find some of the symbols familiar; refer to our Discover section for more information on particular Boxes. Provenance is provided but provenance (as with any history) is often incomplete. Several artifacts in this collection may hold clues to greater conspiracies. Our Department of Occult Studies is constantly uncovering new information.
