The story centers around the chalice of Bid. A keeper artifact that is supposed to bring the user immortality, but also turns the user mad. Over a period of 8 days, the user has to drink 8 times, after which they will be deathless. A state of immortality where you can still die from wounds, or lack of food, but where your body won't degrade and you can technically live forever. This in itself is already a curse though. But worse is the madness that will strike you as you keep drinking day after day. It is a Nelathar's soup, for it will break you down slowly, destroying everything and everyone around you. So beware to those who taste the nectar of Bid.
