Legend of the Chalice

Pray tell, Yuri. Did those foul bandits whom we bested at the arena confess to anything?
link
Yuri
volume_up

Not a word. And they wouldn't name names. I got the feeling they didn't know much themselves.
link
Yuri
volume_up

However, one thing is clear. Whoever hired them is after something here in Abyss.
link
Balthus

Yeah, that's gotta be it. They must have been on a treasure hunt or something.
link
Hapi

A treasure hunt here? I don't get it. What is there to find in these dingy tunnels?
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Aelfric, was it? Looks like this is ringing a bell for you.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

Well, something does come to mind, but the notion is preposterous at best.

Never discount a wild hunch. Sometimes they're closer to the truth than you'd think.

Dimitri

Any lead will do, so long as it helps determine our next course of action. Please, go on.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

As you wish, though again, it is quite far-fetched. You see, there is a longstanding legend here.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

It is said that deep underground, below even Abyss, is a place called the Chasm of the Bound wherein lies the Chalice of Beginnings.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I've never heard of it, but chances are it's some kind of sacred artifact belonging to the church.
link
Yuri
volume_up

Huh. This is the first I've heard of it... So you believe Abyss is connected to that place?
link
Balthus
volume_up

Lots of twists and turns down here, so it's not the craziest idea ever. Must be well hidden though.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

I once happened upon an old document that mentioned a ritual called the Rite of Rising.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

The text was incomplete, so I was unable to achieve a full understanding of the topic. I cannot even guarantee the authenticity of what I read.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

But it stated that the Chalice of Beginnings is a sacred object crafted by order of Saint Seiros herself.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

Saint Seiros apparently used the artifact to carry out the Rite of Rising, along with the Four Apostles.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

It is a ritual that is believed to have the power to resurrect a life that was lost.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

I vaguely recall reading about the Four Apostles. They were saints...and that's about all anyone knows. Hardly any records of them remain.
link
Linhardt
volume_up

Few alive even know their names, but these apostles supposedly assisted the Four Saints with their holy work.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

It is also believed that Saint Seiros attempted to perform a resurrection using the chalice.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

However, the ritual failed... The Four Apostles bound the chalice so that it would never fall into a mortal's hands.
link
Claude
volume_up

The Rite of Rising, eh? Hmm...
link
Constance
volume_up

Ah, yes, the chalice of legend! My father mentioned it to me a very long time ago.
link
Constance
volume_up

A secret treasure of the church... A chalice powerful enough to resurrect the dead... Exhilarating, no?
link
Dimitri
volume_up

Quite. It is no small wonder that people are after it.
link
Edelgard
volume_up

Even so, we still don't have much to go on. We must gather more information about this legend at once.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

I wholeheartedly agree. I will do all I can to track down more clues within the monastery.
link
Aelfric
volume_up

Although, Garreg Mach's library is so...well curated, I doubt any further records will be found.
link
Constance
volume_up

Wondrous! We shall do all that we can as well.
