For everything known and understood there are countless things unknown for forgotten. Researchers and scientists are constantly pushing these boundaries to discover and rediscover the inner workings of the world.
Alchemists seek to identify the possible uses of everything around them, viewing the world as the sum of its parts and seeking to break it down to those parts and rebuild it to their own purposes.
From damaged artifacts to crumbling books, an expert Conservator can help repair the damages of time (or careless archeologists) to help an expedition to uncover the hidden secrets of the past.
Chemists devote their efforts towards developing and implementing practical applications for known reagents and alchemical processes. While Alchemists discover the properties of reagents, Chemists determine how these discoveries will shape the world.
