Alchemists.

They used to be called Wizards, back when they were just eccentric old men and women hermiting away in forests or on islands communing with whatever it was they communed with. But then it became the fashion for younger nobles who wouldn’t inherit anything from their families to take it up and try to make it a respectable profession, so of course they had to give themselves a fancy new title.

General Sevei is of the firm opinion that nobles are shady and Alchemists even shadier. Noble Alchemists are the absolute worst.

He is not looking forward to partnering with one to guard the border. Upon their introduction, though, it would seem they have already met… under very intimate circumstances.

Set in the same world as Salvage, but we're going back in time for some Medieval sword and sorcery!
