Tzandro Kavalant, a senior mentor at the Tower of Alchemy in Arcanix, teaches his pupils the secrets of alchemical golem creation— secrets he learned, allegedly, from flesh-eating witches in the Byeshk Mountains. Most of Khorvaire’s most gifted alchemists have their own handwritten, potion-stained copy of Kavalant’s Alcheme (a large and rambling tome) tucked away on some dusty shelf, if not an alchemical golem guarding their precious supplies.
