A New Path

Aeternum itself bears witness—humanity’s use of Azoth has not led to enlightenment or perfection. Azoth illuminates a false path, and if I hope to achieve anything more than my own destruction, I must find another path to walk. Contrary to the claims of charlatans, the pursuit of alchemy should not be for power, riches, or glory. The truest form of alchemy aims at transmuting the soul, refining ourselves to be better than this crude matter from which we are born. Lofty and unattainable, even with eternal life. But it is not the end result of alchemy that ennobles us; it is the quest itself.
