<h2>Alchemy & The Alchemists’ College</h2>
|
||
<p>
|
||
One of the most impressive buildings in Eisenstadt, the College was built
|
||
on ancient foundations, but it has been renovated many times over the
|
||
years to integrate special pipes and remedy a few “accidents” caused by
|
||
overzealous researchers.

|
||
<strong>The Commission:</strong> Led by Dean Elsholtz, this is a
|
||
mandatory path required for receiving a Special License and freely
|
||
practicing alchemy. The Commission replaced the previous individual
|
||
apprenticeship system with a curriculum aimed at industrial development,
|
||
removing most of the philosophical and anthropological studies,
|
||
especially any reference to forbidden alchemical techniques.

|
||
decision? Who deems it reasonable or understandable?)</em

|

</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>The Classrooms:</strong> Ten ample halls, designed for both
|
||
theoretical and practical lessons, occupy the third and fourth floor of
|
||
the College.
|
||
<em
|
||
>(Question prompts: What is the most unusual subject taught here?
|
||
Which of the professors shows some interest in the Player Characters?
|
||
Are there any known faces?)</em

|
||

|
||
<strong>Highflame Library:</strong> As emphasized by its bright blue
|
||
crest, the College considers knowledge similar to fire, and its purest
|
||
expression is an intense but controlled flame, which gave name to this
|
||
colossal library.
|
||
<em
|
||
>(Question prompts: What legendary tome is kept here? Who can give
|
||
permission to read it and who wants to prevent it at all cost? And
|
||
why?)</em
|
||
>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>The Kiln:</strong> The College’s underground level includes a
|
||
network of boilers which provide energy to the entire complex, along
|
||
with a series of passages and rooms connected to the sewers, containing
|
||
more-or-less stable remnants of old experiments.
|
||
<em
|
||
>(Question prompts: Who or what guards this area? Who has an interest
|
||
in recovering something from this maze of dangerous junk?)</em

|
||
<strong>Inner Quarter:</strong> Just as thick walls separate Eisenstadt
|
||
from the countryside, towering fences isolate the merchant and
|
||
middle-class quarters from the College district. This area contains
|
||
specialized stores, luxury apartments for the Dean and professors, plus
|
||
a club for licensed alchemists. Almost no students live in this
|
||
district.
