“

Hunger, lust, the drowning waters. [The principle of the Grail honors both the birth and the feast.]

„

Grail is the Principle of The Red Grail, The Flowermaker, and The Beachcomber, of desire, birth, seduction, and thirst. Its followers are characterized by inhuman desirability and an irresistible charisma. It is the aspect the Order of the Bloody Cup is dedicated to. Its lore is referred to as "the Succulent Lore".

Lore Fragments

A Red Secret [ Grail 2 ]

Some words are spelt correctly only when the proper ink is used.

A Megalesian Incantation [ Grail 4 ]

The Great Mother remembers.

A Delightful Sacrament [ Grail 6 ]

So pleasant upon the ear. One could listen over and over. These are the words that make sacrifice sweet. [Use this with Byzantine Tinct and a Moth influence - or other resources of equal power - to summon a Raw Prophet.]

Thiatic Invocation [ Grail 8 ]

Raucous shrieks attend the passage of the Names of the Grail. We reproduce them as best we can, for the pulsing power they lend. [Use this with Byzantine Tinct and a Moth influence - or other resources of equal power - to summon a Raw Prophet.]

Formulae Voluptuous [ Grail 10 ]

There exist some pleasures intense enough to corrupt the laws of the physical world. [This formula can be used in a Rite with Bitterblack Salts and a Subtle Rupture - or similar sources of power - to summon Ezeem itself.]

Anthic Elaboration [ Grail 12 ]

The Flowermaker cannot touch you; he cannot find you; he always has what you desire. Even an elaboration of the properties of his works can draw the attention of Hours. [This formula can be used in a Rite with Bitterblack Salts and a Subtle Rupture - or similar sources of power - to summon Ezeem itself.]

Devouring Mysteries [ Grail 14 ]

The Grail was the first god-who-was-blood. The Flowermaker came from Light. The Beach-Crow was flesh. Hunger and Greed and Yearning are the matrix of appetite, and here is their secret doctrine... [Use this formula in Rite with Bitterblack Salts and a Subtle Rupture - or similar sources of power - to summon Ezeem itself.]

Tools

Tool	Aspect level	Description
'The Red Grail'	8	She did not split the Sun, but here we might imagine how she must have desired it.
Chalice Murmurous	12	On those nights when we drink from the chalice, we are not certain, afterwards, what we have done. But, we may be assured, it is what always has been done, and if we do not remember, our children will, in their redmost dreams.
Hallowed Polos	8	The ring-crown of a savage mother, stained with essence, woven with scraps of hair and blessed with flecks of skin.
Stained Gloves	4	What uses have these known? What lessons might they teach my hands?
Whispering Amulet	2	It knows what I desire; or I imagine that it does.

Ingredients

Ingredient	Aspect level	Description
Amaranthine Nectar	8	One of the Flowermaker's many gifts. In a brighter age, it might have bestowed immortality. In this blighted History, it is still an unparalleled sweetness.
Vital Pigment	4	It is not usual for a red this red to survive the death of the body.
Writhing Caul	12	Lay your hand on these tattered folds and feel their warmth; leave your hand upon it, and it will explore the possibilities of embrace.
