Sacred cup silver

Sacred cup silver is a relic of Reverie, the affinity of dream, illusion and mind. It holds an old piece of Covenant-stuff, the substance of the Seal-shards, and its treasure spirit answers to Wefan, the Weaver.

After each battle, the cup restores some of its holder's fallen companies, if the holder's core woke in Reverie. For a mage of any other affinity it restores no one, and a coreless lineage, which has no affinity, gains nothing from it either.

It is one of five cups, one for each affinity: Sacred cup copper, Sacred cup silver, Sacred cup skull, Sacred cup stained gold and Sacred cup bright gold. No one knows who made the silver cup, or whether the same hand made its four siblings.

Cultivators of Reverie have their own story about it. The silver cup, they say, does not bring the fallen back: it persuades them they never fell. That is a belief.

Tellan, the Keeper of Tallies keeps the cup among the Mnemoliths between Turnings. There is one in each Turning, and if it is lost, its shard returns to his keeping for the recasting.
