Alchemy Commission

Lore & Background

Within the hallowed halls of the Alchemy Commission, master alchemists toil ceaselessly to refine elixirs and remedies that sustain the long-lived citizens of the Xianzhou and combat the corrosive effects of Mara. Their work is vital to the Alliance's survival, but they hold no sway over Penacony's dreamscape or the Family's affairs.

In Their Own Story

The vial glowed with a soft amber light in Dr. Vane's hand. Outside the reinforced glass of the laboratory, Penacony's skyline shimmered in perpetual twilight. 'Batch forty-two is ready,' he murmured to his assistant, capping the container.

Reader's Guide

The Alchemy Commission stands as one of the Ten-Lords Commissions governing the planetoid of Penacony. Operating under the overarching authority of the Family, these specialists focus on the chemical engineering required to maintain the stability of Dreamscape environments. They are distinct from other commissions by their reliance on alchemical formulas and potions rather than pure technology or military force. This includes creating sedatives for the Night and enhancers for dreamers seeking specific experiences. Without their work, the fragile boundary between reality and illusion would collapse under the weight of chaotic subconscious energies. In the broader conflict involving the Stellaron crisis, the Commission remains largely neutral but essential infrastructure. They do not actively fight enemies like the Knights of Beauty or the IPC, yet their resources are vital for any force operating within Penacony's dream layers. Their loyalty to the Family ensures they prioritize order above all else.
