Containers

Chests and other containers can store nearly unlimited amounts of items. However, most chests in the game reset, that is, they clear out all the contents after a certain period of time.

Styles and usual contents

 * Chest – The standard
 * Ayleid-style: Ayleid Chest, Cask, Coffer, Reliquary – Usually found in elven ruins and contain various loot
 * Barrel, Crate – Found everywhere and usually contains generic, unusable items, such as an inkwell, shovel, folded cloth, or paintbrush
 * Cupboard, Sack – Often contains food or potions. Cupboards in bedrooms usually contain clothing.
 * Desk, Lectern – Occasionally contains books, parchment, or an inkwell
 * Drawers – Usually contains various clothing and sometimes armor
 * Display Case – Not a container per se, but can hold a few items and doesn't reset. Items are literally dropped into it and the case is closed.
