A flask of brandy saved from the famous party hosted by Edward Russell.
Origin[]
Edward Russell, 1st Earl of Orford (1653-1729) was a Royal Navy officer and politician. However, one of his best-known acts in his lifetime was a party he threw for his fellow officers in 1694. Though the exact time of the party has been lost to history, he filled up his garden’s fountain with 250 gallons of brandy, 125 gallons of Malaga wine, 1,400 pounds of sugar, 2,500 lemons, 20 gallons of lime juice, and 5 pounds of nutmeg, keeping the party going for over a week until the fountain ran dry. Even rain couldn't stop the party, as they put a silk tarp over the alcohol to prevent it from getting watered down.
Suspected Effects[]
Though the proper effects are unclear, it seems to always be found at spontaneous parties, where everybody is always having a good time and the party never seems to end.
Though unconfirmed, it is suspected that the effects start by ingesting the liquid inside, although there are multiple reports of the flask's contents being poured into other beverages.
History[]
The only registered encounter with the Warehouse was in 1756. While visiting the city of Paris, Agents received reports of a local drunk known for hosting long and spectacular parties, with alcohol pouring out of a flask constantly that reportedly amplified the party vibes. Some claimed the flask had been given to the drunk by an officer who was known for attending numerous parties, including one by Edward Russell. However, the Agents had to handle other matters, and by the time they were finished with their assignment, the artifact had seemingly moved on to the next city. The Agents logged the artifact's existence but were unable to collect it; though it seems to occasionally pop up on the radar (almost always around a spontaneous party), it has yet to be collected.
