There is a legend in this land, my student. A
legend as old as Rowena, that tells of a powerful stone
created by the 6 masters of Alchemy. This miraculous stone
has the ability to grant powers beyond imagination; change
steel into gold, winter into summer… even grant immortality.
Seeing the stone’s potential for both good and evil, the 6
masters decided that it was far too powerful for any one
person to hold, and resolved to divide the stone into pieces to
prevent it from falling into the wrong hands. Each of the
masters took a piece of the stone and sealed it away from
the others.
However, knowing that the stone’s power might
someday be needed, they crafted a book that held the secret
locations of the pieces of the stone: “Mutus Liber,” the
wordless book. Each of the 6 magical illustrations contained
within provided a clue to the location of one of the 6
pieces of the stone. The legend goes that, with the aid of
this book, one could find and reunite the pieces from the
kingdoms of Rowena, and gain immense power.
But sadly, the
book has been lost over the ages,
and the locations of the
pieces with it.
Perhaps someday, my student, the book will be found. Perhaps
by you…
