A day in the life of an alchemist
Arngeyr the alchemist would typically start his day with stepping out of his hut to take a walk through the forest, where he would look for different kinds of mushrooms. Deers, squirrels and even foxes would come to his aid and help him find them. The combination of several mushrooms would give him a stew that was only really effective when consumed directly after making it. For a limited time, he would see the forest with different eyes: Every tree, every animal looked at him with a mixture of interest and joy, and old ancestors of the Imps would start talking to him. They told stories from ancient times, and Arngeyr listened excited.
He would follow them into the forest, to a place that he often searched for, but never found without the help of his old Imp friends. "Kam, kam!", they would yell to him, ordering him to follow as it was their way. The forest would get darker and darker, but then a clearing would appear behind the rooted path ahead.
Here, Arngeyr would take a look around to see what had changed since the last day.
