Elseridge Academy 10 - Alchemy
🕑 Added 2024-03-18 15:08:16 +0000 UTCIt's best not to think about what those alchemists are cooking up...
Greetings all, and welcome back to Elseridge Academy. This is the TENTH release of the magic school at the edge of the world, meaning this is now our largest ever borough, and it justifies our two-digit numbering scheme we've used since day 1. This release is all about Alchemy, so if you've got potion-maker, artificers, or other quirky crafters in your party, this release is for you!
Borough Guide
This borough guide is dedicated to the College of Alchemy. If you've read the previous guides about other colleges within Elseridge, you know what to expect! We've got an overview of the school, a list of classes, 6 fleshed out NPCs (with some gorgeous art), points of interest, and a table of rumors and plot hooks! Alchemy at Elseridge encompasses brewing, golem-creation, enchanting, and all sorts of tinkering. As such, this one is pretty multidimensional, hopefully acting as a useful catch-all for plenty of different player-character archetypes.
Maps
Our primary map here encompasses the majority of the College of Alchemy. This is one of the newer parts of campus, so it its particularly well manicured, and there are touches of complex arcane technology. As with each of our Elseridge maps, we provide 5 additional aesthetic variants: Tropical, Forest, Winter, Fluxum, and Starfall.
Patrons at the Chief Courier tier also gain access to a bunch of additional interior maps.
- The Alchemy Labs are where students make potions
- Nightworm's Pool is where the school gathers up slag and alchemical runoff (and it's a great miniboss arena)
- The Arcane Forge is your classic blacksmithing space
- The Animation Chamber is where you kooky alchemists can activate various Frankenstein's monsters
Music
"Runes and Glyphs" is moody and mysterious, evoking all of the bizarro concoctions whipped up by Elseridge's unusual alchemists. This is great generic "quasi-spooky mystery music" for your campaigns, and it definitely evokes the unusual arcana of a magic school. The "Golemetry" variant is much more upbeat, useful for alchemical antics or quirky encounters.
