Cup of Blessings
The Cup of Blessings was a relic of the Red Corsairs Chaos Space Marine warband.[1]
Kept by the sorcerer Anto, the Cup of Blessings was part of a ritual that was undertaken by the warband before they went into battle. If the criteria (known only to Anto himself) were met, the sorcerer would bring the cup before a gathering of the warband's senior officers. Not all of the Chaos Marines gathered would drink from it; according to Anto, the Cup itself chose who would receive its "Blessings", which could take many forms.[1]
For some, the drink did nothing at all, and for some, the elixir within the Cup was deadly. Some would receive a temporary gift from the Chaos Gods or a vision of the past or future, and still others would permanently mutate.[1]
