Origins[edit | edit source]
The House of Borgia was a family that became very powerful during the Renaissance. They dealt with many political and religious affairs in the 15th and 16th centuries. Two of them, Alfons de Borja and Rodrigo Borgia, became popes Callixtus III and Alexander VI, respectively. During Alexander’s rule, the family came under suspicion of adultery, theft, bribery and murder by arsenic. Their strides for power created enemies from the Houses Medici and Sforza and also Dominican Friar Girolamo Savonarola.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The cup poisons anyone who drinks out of it. The cup caused the inadvertent death of Rodrigo Borgia and is the basis for multiple crime stories. It is noted to be relatively calm when nearby Lucrezia Borgia's Comb, but will unleash a hellstorm when near Girolamo Savonarola's Crucifix or the Jeweled Scabbard of Sforza.
