In the Azenar Empire, alchemists hold the reins of society. With salt, sulfur, and mercury, they manipulate the threads that hold reality together, causing supernatural feats that cannot be replicated by any Mundane. They have existed since time immemorial, pursuing their craft as they work their way through the four stages in the hopes of one day successfully cultivating the internal energies lying within, manifesting the Philosopher''''s Stone and achieving immortality and unmatched power.
