City of Miracles

"Alchemy is so much more than making gold. It is Licoturgy, the material art."

Thaum, the great "city of miracles", is a place that truly earned its nickname - large, radiant, rich, and important, it remains one of the most renowned cities in the empire and even the world entirely. But dark clouds loom on the horizon as factions plot and scheme in the shadows to wrestle control of the city.

The Empire
Large, old, and highly decentralised, the Empire is a prestigious union of states ruled by an elected monarch.

The City of Miracles form the core of the setting

Licoturgy
Known to the common people as Alchemy and at times referred to as the material arts, Licoturgy is the manipulation of materials and the elements for one's own purpose.

Metaturgy
Metaturgy is a hypothetical pure form of Licoturgy, where the alchemist may manipulate the final building stone of matter itself - energy.
