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.
