Very recently, many wondrous things have been opened up to us using methods that were long forgotten. Alchemy. Behring of Daggerford has recently taught us two new rituals. So many things are possible through alchemy, not all of them known to us yet, but I am willing to share what I know with the rest of you. So far, three rituals are known to us. One allowing us to make various costly and rare components and another allowing us to enchant items. What I am willing to do is to give lessons on each ritual. I will announce a time and the first three people to sign up as being available for that time will receive the lesson. Now, the lessons must be taken in order. Those who already know of the ritual of agglutination may skip the first lesson and go right into the second, but everyone else must start with the first. All that I am going to ask for these lessons is twenty shards. I know this sounds like a lot, but some of them will be used for your lesson and some will be given to me as payment, roughly half and half. Atleast five shards will need to be of positive energy and five of negative energy. The other ten can be any mixture of shards that you wish. I'm going to give time for people to start collecting shards and I will announce the first time within a month. (OOC I'll probably post the time for the first lessons next week. Giving people time to find shards and collect them again.) Also, do not worry if you are not one of the first three to sign up. Multiple lessons will be given on each topic. You are also going to need to bring an alchemy board. No exceptions will be made, not enough shards, or no board and someone else will be called to take your spot in the lesson.

I know collecting the shards can be difficult, so I whole-heartedly encourage people to go in groups and collect them together. People are always talking about sitting in the square with nothing to do, well now you have something. Even if you do not plan to take the lessons yourself, go out and collect. You might be able to sell them! I imagine the negative shards would be extremely valuable.

-Gesine Kueper

I wanted to add an ooc note here and say this does not have to be restricted to good pc characters. Granted, Gesine won't teach anyone she doesn't like or faith enemies, but I am all up for her being tricked. So I know there are some sneaky evils out there. If you want to learn this...figure out a way and we can spread this to the other side too. Just don't expect her to make it easy on you. Don't come in 'disguised' as a hooded someone or another still wearing your symbol of Talos and expect her to go easy on you. Put thought into it.

Ok, the first lesson will be at this time and will cover the first ritual called Agglutination. Contact Gesine ICly to sign up. I'll post again when the spots are taken. Do not sign up unless you have the shards and the board already, please. There will be many more opportunities to learn and everyone Gesine teaches will have the ability to pass on what they learn if they choose to do so.
