The Curator’s record
The vessel is not a substitute for judgment or restitution. Confession may secure release from the brew, but it does not undo the consequences of deception.
Provenance
The witch Maharalis carried the cauldron wherever her caravan appeared. Jordon P. Talmud offered false coins, drank from it rather than confess, and lost his reflection and voice until he admitted the harm caused by his lies.
Observed activity
Honest drinkers taste mint, honey, and cinnamon. Liars hear the people they deceived. Continued denial allows the brew to draw a reflection, voice, and essence into the cauldron until the truth is acknowledged.
