A carved golden chalice etched with swirling patterns of laughter, tears, and intertwined hands. The inside of the cup is always warm to the touch.
No matter how empty it appears, it is never truly dry.
Sacred Refill
While holding the cup, it fills itself with an alcoholic drink perfectly suited to the holder’s deepest preference—
not merely what they like, but what their heart longs for in that moment.
-
It may be sweet lambanog, aged wine, strong rum, bitter ale, or something entirely unfamiliar.
-
The drink is always safe to consume and never poisoned.
-
The cup refills after each creature finishes drinking.
The drink loses its magic if poured into another container.
Memory of the Last Soul
When a creature finishes a full serving from the cup, they immediately experience a vivid memory of the previous drinker.
The vision lasts 1 minute.
During the vision:
-
The drinker is aware of their surroundings.
-
Their speed becomes 0.
-
They cannot take reactions.
-
They have an advantage on Insight checks against creatures within 10 feet during the vision.
The memory is always emotionally significant — joy, regret, love, betrayal, triumph, loss.
When the vision ends, the drinker gains one of the following (DM’s choice or roll):
-
Inspiration
-
Temporary HP equal to their proficiency bonus
-
Advantage on their next Charisma-based check
If two creatures willingly pass the cup between each other during a shared Tagay ritual, they instead experience a mutual emotional resonance, gaining advantage on social checks toward one another, and they have an advantage on doing an action or task while they are within 15 feet of each other for 24 hours.
Ritual of Tagay
If three or more creatures sit together and pass the cup clockwise, each speaking a truth before drinking and letting others experience what you experienced:
-
The cup glows warmly.
-
All participants gain an advantage on saving throws against fear and charm for 1 hour.
-
Any hostility between participants is magically softened; creatures cannot willingly attack another participant for 1 minute unless directly harmed.
This ritual can be performed once per long rest.
Spirit of Sharing
The cup resents selfishness & honor hospitaly & camaraderie.
If a creature drinks from it more than three times in a row without sharing, the drink becomes bitter and mundane for 24 hours.
Notes: creature who holds it.
