Description

This ornate goblet is studded in gemstones and is comprised of swirls of metal. Holding it up to an ear reveals the slightest sounds like whispers coming from the goblet.

Lore

The first of these goblets was given as a gift from a Hasturian to a nameless wizard. It only took two weeks before the wizard's mind has fractured under the revealed truths. The Hasturian then returned and took him away to feast and dine upon his broken mind. An expert chef, the Hasturian claimed to his fellows that the process had left the brain nicely tenderized, but still quite juicy. His fellows concurred as they each savored a bite.
