Cup of Sushrava
History
It is unknown when the cup was made, but it first appeared in engravings in the ruins of the Pairidaeza dated to 610. After the destruction of the Pairidaeza, the cup disappeared. It was rediscovered by a Durendalese excavation team researching the ruins of the Pairidaeza in 2365, and was taken to Durendal, where it was on exhibition for 104 years until 2469, when it was returned to Pardez at the request of the royal family. It has been kept in the royal palace ever since.
Significance
The Cup is highly significant to the history of Pardez, as according to legend it was created for Aredvi, who filled the chalice. Due to the cup's use in divination, it has, and is, used as a form of national security in the past.

Raw materials & Components
The Cup is made entirely from brass, hammered to a thickness of about 0.5 cm.
The Cup is filled with an unknown, highly reflective liquid. It cannot be removed from the chalice, as it always flows toward the bottom of the cup, no matter what orientation it is in. The reflection in the liquid is not accurate to the surroundings of the cup. The reflection has been proven to be capable of being located anywhere within 100 km of the cup, and can be dislocated up to 5 days in time, both forward and backward.
