Appearance
A bronze chalice with various scenes depicting skeletons dancing about.
Power
Undead who have drunk from the enchanted cup find they can move with considerable speed in limited bursts, and are generally more invigorated. The Chalice's effect is greater on free-willed undead, as opposed to mindless minions. The relic's power was strengthened by Black Jack Rackham, to provide a more constant boost to his movement when he called upon its powers.
History
This relic was recently recovered by Jack from the Banished Pantheon deep in Dark Astoria. Jack disrupted a ceremony in the Moth Cemetery, where the High Death Shaman Kra'alok sought to empower his undead Husks and Chambers. Though the Shaman managed to escape, Jack was able to claim the Chalice for himself. Since that time, it has gone missing from Jack's hoard. Jack suspects it was a protective enchantment that teleported the Chalice back to the High Shaman, and one day intends to retrieve the artifact.
