  • Unlocked Via: Seasonal Unit Challenges
  • Type: Melee Infantry - Special
  • Era: Silver Era

Alchemy has produced weapons such as the Empyrean flamethrower and the poisoned arrows of the Rattan Vipers, but it has also been used to help and heal through the study of 'spagyrics', an off-shoot of alchemy dedicated to making medicines through alchemical processes. The "Ordre spagyrique de la miséricorde" or Spagyric Order of Mercy is an institution dedicated to healing the sick, and in this time of crisis have volunteered their services to aid the armies of the king. Following the example of Gabrielle-Maélys, the Maid of the Holy Vision, these fearless women brave the horrors of the battlefield, dispensing healing under fire to their comrades, all while armed with nothing more than a small knife each and some smoke bombs.

Alchemists 1

[The text is quite long, but you are able to glean a few details:]

Alchemy, depending on the era and place, generally holds that all things are composed of four or five elements, and that through the use of a universal catalyst called a "stone", any substance can be changed into any other. The creation of the "stone" is done via a long and highly secretive process generally only written down in the most metaphorical and/or symbolic manner, usually in the form of songs, poems, or elaborate illustrations, so as to keep it out of the hands of evildoers.

Alchemists 2

[The text is quite long, but you are able to glean a few details:]

While alchemists are depicted as searching for immortality through the creation of an "elixir of life", in truth their works are aimed at more everyday applications: acids to extract metals from ore, better fuels that burn brighter, and last but by no means least, the perfection of medicines to protect human health.

Alchemists 3

[The text is quite long, but you are able to glean a few details:]

The "elemental" hypothesis of alchemy in relation to medicine holds that every person is constituted of four "humours" -, with one of the four predominant: These humours correspond to the four elements of the natural world, and thus ill-health or mood derives from deficiency or imbalance of one or more of these humours. Spagyreqcs is the field of alchemy devoted to producing medicines; and borrows liberally from the study of herbs and other plants, and from the sciences of anatomy, surgery, and astrology.

The 'Ordre Spagyretigue de la Misericordia' (Spagyeritc Order of Mercy) was founded in the city of Aurelian to support the city's hospitals and the education of surgeons, and following its liberation by Gabrielle-Maelys and her army of followers quickly pledged its support to the war effort against the Loegrians.
