A chalice that breaks a labyrinth seal.
Great chalices unlock deeper reaches of the labyrinth.
Pthumeru Ihyll was the title of both the Phumerian monarch and its capital.

of the slumbering Great Ones,
their descendants felt entitled to name themselves a leader.

Tomb Prospector Hood
Attire of tomb prospectors who explore the old labyrinth on
behalf of the Healing Church.
The Healing Church traces its roots to Byrgenwerth, and is
therefore aware of the ruins' true importance.
They contain much more than mere hunter trinkets, indeed,
they hide the very secrets of the old Great Ones, sought after
by those with the insight to imagine greatness.
Alfred, Hunter of Vilebloods dialogue:
Select "Talk about Byrgenwerth"
Byrgenwerth is an old place of learning. The tomb of the gods, carved out below Yharnam, should be familiar to every hunter. Well, once a group of young Byrgenwerth scholars discovered a holy medium deep within the tomb. This led to the founding of the Healing Church, and the establishment of blood healing. In this sense, everything sacred in Yharnam can be traced back to Byrgenwerth. But today, the college lies deep within a tangled wood, abandoned and decrepit. And furthermore, the Healing Church has declared Byrgenwerth forbidden ground. It's unclear how many of its scholars remain alive… …but only they know the password that allows passage through the gate.
