The True Vessel is the semi-legendary recipient of the vitae and soul of the Cappadocian Antediluvian, which would enable Augustus Giovanni to complete the diablerie of his sire.
Overview[]
An artifact most Giovanni would give somebody's soul for, the True Vessel is a small earthenware jar, holding maybe a pint of vitae. The jar is sealed with beeswax[1] and a curse[2] and cannot be opened by any force known to anyone currently familiar with it.
The matter was brought to the Giovanni's attention by the Capuchin.[1] It is believed to hold a small amount of Cappadocius' blood and soul sealed by Japheth[3] and Constancia[2], which Augustus Giovanni is desperate to obtain to be a true Antediluvian. The True Vessel was rumored to have been hidden in the library of Erciyes but was lost when Claudius Giovanni ordered the burning of the temple-fortress.[1][4]
