Object
Chalice of Trust (Gatherer Amnesty)
A single communal chalice used in the Gatherers' amnesty ritual: a hand‑held drinking cup containing a dark, wine‑like liquid. Delegates lift it in a formal sharing gesture; fingers close on its rim as authority is symbolically transferred. Brull seizes the vessel and forces its contents down Temarek's throat, turning a peace offering into a tool of public humiliation. The chalice bears scorch- and soot-marked reflections from nearby torches and remains the focal object of the parley when violence erupts.

Purpose
To hold and present a communal ceremonial liquid for shared drinking during a formal amnesty/trust ritual.
Significance
Serves as the tangible seal of a diplomatic amnesty and the narrative pivot for humiliation and escalation: Marouk's offered peace becomes Brull's political theater when the chalice is abused, and the ritual's collapse leads directly into the violent crisis that follows.
