When the Satyr general Licuiluin, a fervent champion of good, captured Drachlaz, killing the last of its ancient vampires, he and his army burned the undead in a great towering pyre. They prayed to Phalgas and then went through hundreds of kegs and three dozen Kazzatar pigs.
When the first rays of Merioss shined on the smoldering ashes, something glimmered. The few awake and coherent looked around, then they saw their great general walk into the ash pile and pull out an un-charred mug. It was ornamental, simple in comparison to what General Licuiluin carried around in his packs, yet he kept it.

What came to be known as the Pyre Mug, was found on the last day of the First Merioss Crusade (911 HE - 920 HE). It became a ceremonial item passed along to each new leader of Radiant Cross.
The Ankh of Phalgas is a powerful artifact used for life-prolonging, rejuvenation, and the destruction of undead. Forged by the deity Phalgas, to some it is a chalice, to the peoples of Smizerak and Radiant Cross, it is the Pyre Mug. In its truest form, as when worn by Naggor Stormhand, it has the shape of an ordinary looking ankh.
In the Third Epoch, the heroes of Golden Elite used the Ankh of Phalgas in the restoration of lands ravaged by the Black Tide. Following the Athenian Crusade (1539 - 1551), the Ankh of Phalgas was secured in the Prism of Merioss.
