Above the Last University, two suns hang, unbalanced. Under their shearing light, the heroes of this makeshift city move into action, even though they may not yet know what action they ought take. For Hella Varal, it is the needs of those with the least that must be addressed: shelter, food, water, ease of mind. The fundamentals that all need and deserve. For Adaire Ducarte, who joins the Golden Lance member Callowkeen and the ancient warrior Red Jack, “action” must come only after careful investigation. And for the archivist and bard Lem King, the answers must, must, be found in a book. But if not there, then… perhaps, finally, it is time to get creative.
This week on Spring in Hieron: The Second Sun
ALCHEMY is, of all disciplines, the most underappreciated.
Young MAGES, perhaps even yourselves, see it as a vulgar display of
MAGIC, something that anyone with a RECIPE, the tools, and patience
may pursue. And it is true, alchemy does not draw on the developed
talents of a mage, or on the intrinsic strength of a SORCERER; its
formulas pale in beauty next to the complex designs of a warlock or
witch’s ARCANA. And yet, in their simplicity is a different sort of
appeal: SPELLS may be countered, HEXES misfire, CURSES be wasted on
wind. But set aloft a potion of flame, and know: There will always
be fire.
