The Chalice

    A Folkloric feature of Central European and sometimes English mythology associated with the Hidden Kingdom. Seen by some historians of folkore as an early Grail myth (www.grail.com) associated with Vampires (Central European, blood, quest, adventure story, folklore (www.folklore.com )

    Most Chalice stories’ central plank is that long before the Wandering Kings had journeyed the wilds of the Hidden Kingdom and settled the Wild Woods, long before the Craggy Peaks had become the tottering foundations for their strongholds, and really not that long after the Great Father Of All pricked his finger and made the whole round world with a drop of his own blood, the Chalice was made.

    Some say it was forged in the fires of volcanoes from precious metals mined from another star; some say it was carved from the glaciers of the gods who inhabited the Snow Mountains, and made of an ice so ancient that nothing - not even the core of the Sun - could melt it.

    It is the most powerful and important of the Seven Treasures.
