It is sometimes referred to as the ‘Double Chalice’ or the ‘Cup of Choices’ as it is an almost symmetrical constellation of six stars.

			Following the Summer Solstice 386YE. Astronomancers across the Empire became aware of the names and titles of the individual stars that make up the Chalice. As with other similar developments involving constellations such as [[the Phoenix]] and [[the Oak]], speculation suggests that a [[coven]] performed a divinatory ritual during the Solstice to commune with the constellation, and that one of the side effects was the revelation of these names. Where these names come from, and what they mean for a wider understanding of astronomancy, is unclear but a matter of some discussion.
