Description:
An ornate silver chalice with intricate, silent carvings around its rim and body. Despite its detailed craftsmanship, the chalice bears no inscriptions. The vessel seems to shimmer faintly and sometimes contains liquids that shift color and consistency without settling. It is associated with the court’s oracles who were said to have lost their tongues.
Recovery Notes:
Recovered from a sealed crypt beneath the Pale Court’s oracle chambers. The chalice was found on an alabaster pedestal surrounded by faded ritual markings. Initial handling by researchers was met with a sudden, unexplained loss of voice and whispered silence in the vicinity.
Function and Believed Use:
Believed to have been used in divinatory ceremonies, the chalice grants fleeting visions or prophetic insights to those who drink from it, at the cost of muting their voice for days afterward. It symbolizes the sacrifice of speech for knowledge.
Known Incidents:
Incident 6G: A test subject drank from the chalice and experienced vivid prophetic dreams but remained mute for seven days.
Incident 15D: Unauthorized removal caused a temporary communication blackout in the research facility, with several personnel unable to speak.
Containment Protocol:
Stored in a soundproof, vibration-isolated container to prevent unintended activation.
Only authorized ritualists may handle or drink from the chalice, with medical supervision.
Voice monitoring devices recommended during interactions.
Immediate quarantine and vocal therapy required following exposure.
