Cup of Life

The Cup of Life is an ancient artifact featured on the BBC series Merlin. It is a mystical object that was once used by an evil warlord. He had his men place their blood in the Cup to make them Immortal and practically the Living Dead. The king's armies were defeated when the cup was emptied of the soldiers' blood.
It was later protected by the High Priestesses of the Old Religion. Nimueh, who was also a High Priestess used the cup to fill with water and gave it to Merlin.
After she was killed Merlin assumed that the cup was destroyed as well. However, it survived and fell into the hands of the Druids, who used the Cup to bring Leon and presumably several others back to full health. Not trusting the Druids, Uther commissioned a secret quest for Arthur to find the Cup of Life and retrieve it.
However Morgana was eavesdropping on their conversation and informed Morgause that the Cup had been with the druids and in their camp in King Cenred's kingdom. Arthur Merlin and Gwaine found the Cup until it was stolen by Cenred's men. Morgause had done what the corrupted warlord once did and with her immortal army, Morgause and Morgana took over the kingdom. 
Under Queen Morgana Pendragon's rule, the Cup was protected by hers and Morgause's Blood Guards. However, during the Battle of Camelot, Merlin later empted the cup using the sword, Excalibur, with help from his close friend Lancelot and Gaius. It is unknown what happened to the cup afterwards, but implied by Arthur that the cup would be contained in the Royal vaults of Camelot so none could ever use it again.
