Description
The collapse of House Colvan has left a power vacuum the other houses are all too eager to fill. Colvan's outright aggression has set the bar for the rules of engagement, and all-out war has taken over the edges of each house's territory. No place is this more fierce than the former Colvan holdings, which, now leaderless, are crumbling under the combined assault from every other house. The great houses seek to cripple and sabotage each other as well in their bid for power, and soon, a new breed of warfare will take the city- One of industrial alchemy.

How quickly the horrors of the first House War were forgotten- And how much worse will they be when fueled by the Alchemical Engine? And yet, House Soria will not simply wait to be absorbed...

This collection contains themed alchemical puzzles focusing on working under the dire conditions of the Second House War- The only things that flow reliably are metal and tears. This is the first collection, and contains puzzles of varying complexity and size for all to enjoy.

DISTILLED ALCHEMIST'S FIRE

POLLUTANT NEUTRALIZATION
Created by Iron

IMMOBILIZING FOAM
Created by Iron

HARDENED ARMOR COATING
Created by Iron
While armor thread remains popular for protection, it isn't possible to reinforce structures or vehicles with it. Hardened armor coating is a more universally applicable compound that can be painted onto stone, metal, or nearly anything else rigid. The com...

Also called trench cord or thermal cord, this length of fuse burns no matter the conditions when lit, and can reach temperatures capable of melting iron. This has made it useful for both demolitions and sabotage, though its relative scarcity demands strate...
GAS MASK FILTER

Few know the deadly effects of inhaled toxins better than alchemists, who know all too well just how dangerous a weapon alchemy can be. Ordinary filters might be sufficient for ordinary toxins, but alchemical toxins require something more robust. Layered d...

The process of breaking down corroded and broken iron and separating it into its constituent parts has long been a staple of battlefield alchemy, and there is no time where its use is more relevant as the war leaves broken vehicles and destroyed machines i...
CHAMELEON PAINT
Created by Iron
Capable of changing color and pattern to vaguely resemble the terrain around it, chameleon paint is a must for vital strategic positions that must remain secret. The change is slow, limiting its usefulness on the move, but its universal applicability makes...
UNIVERSAL ANTIDOTE
Created by Iron
This complex compound is not true panacea, but its ability to neutralize poisons and toxins of any variety has made it extremely valuable. It is also the only known antidote for the loathed universal toxin, meaning many houses keep a vial handy- Just in ca...
UNIVERSAL TOXIN
Created by Iron
Universally banned, this vile toxin is lethal to any living thing whose body it enters. Symptoms are gruesome to say the least, and imbibing more than a single drop is fatal within minutes, with smaller doses merely resulting in the victim simply wishing f...
