Hidden in the depths of a forest thick with mist and ancient trees, the Alchemist’s Sanctuary is a fortress of knowledge and arcane power. The sanctuary is a sprawling estate of brass and wood, with towers that reach up through the treetops and chimneys that belch forth strange, colorful smoke. Inside, the walls are lined with shelves upon shelves of alchemical tomes, vials of glowing liquids, and artifacts from forgotten ages. The Alchemist, a reclusive figure with a clockwork heart and eyes that burn with the light of a thousand suns, works tirelessly to unlock the secrets of immortality and the Philosopher’s Stone. The air within the sanctuary is thick with the smell of sulfur and lavender, and the ground is littered with failed experiments and the occasional twisted homunculus. It is a place of both wonder and terror, where the line between science and magic is blurred beyond recognition.
