Racial Skill: Alchemy
Basic Alchemy: The hero can concoct and use standard and basic potions, and tier 1 Dome creatures can use standard potions.
Advanced Alchemy: The hero can concoct and use up to advanced potions, and tier 1-3 Dome creatures can use standard potions.
Expert Alchemy: The hero can concoct and use up to expert potions, and tier 1-5 Dome creatures can use standard potions.
Ultimate Alchemy: Dome creatures use standard potions at Basic mastery.
Perks:
Zone of Excitement: The hero may spend 0.5 ATB to mark a 4x4 area on the battle grid as a Zone of Excitement. Spells from all friendly sources have +5 to their effective spellpower when targeted within the Zone of Excitement. The hero may only have one Zone of Excitement on the battlefield at any time.
(So if an enemy creature is within the Zone of Excitement, and the hero casts Meteor Swarm and hits that creature, the Meteor Swarm will have an increased effect of +5 spellpower on that creature. Or if a friendly dead corpse is within the Zone of Excitement, and the hero casts Raise Dead on that corpse, it will have an increased effect of +5 spellpower).
Field Alchemist: Discharging potions requires 0.15 less ATB for the hero.
Quicksilver Bubble: When a creature makes a melee or ranged attack against one of your creatures, there is a 30% chance it will deal 30% less damage. When this effect triggers, it will drain 5 mana from the hero’s mana pool.
Ultimate: Abjuring Bubble: The Quicksilver Bubble applies to both physical and magical attacks, and when it triggers, the damage is always reduced to 0.
Alchemy Description:
Potions: Potions contain one-time uses of magical spells that can be discharged by the Alchemist and by certain Dome creatures. Discharging a potion requires no mana. Below are the different categories of potions:
Standard Potions: Standard potions contain level 1-2 spells.
Basic Potions: Basic potions contain level 3 spells.
Advanced Potions: Advanced potions contain level 4 spells.
Expert Potions: Expert potions contain level 5 spells.
Concocting Potions: Concocting Potions is done at the ‘Laboratory’ building in the Dome town. The hero may concoct as many potions as they are able to, and they are stored in the hero’s or the creature’s inventory. The effective power of a potion depends on the hero's spellpower. Perks such as Master of Wrath or Master of Life are taken into account if the hero discharges the potion, but not if a creature discharges the potion. A hero can concoct any spell that they know and are able to cast. The following are the prices for concocting potions:
Standard Potion (any school): 50 gold
Basic Potion (any school): 100 gold
Advanced Potion (light): 100 gold + 1 crystal
Advanced Potion (destructive): 100 gold + 1 sulfur
Advanced Potion (summoning): 100 gold + 1 gem
Advanced Potion (dark): 100 gold + 1 mercury
Expert Potion (light): 200 gold + 1 crystal
Expert Potion (destructive): 200 gold + 1 sulfur
Expert Potion (summoning): 200 gold + 1 gem
Expert Potion (dark): 200 gold + 1 mercury
Using Potions:
Hero: The hero selects the potion they wish to use from their spellbook and selects the area or target (depending on the potion’s spell) to use it on. Using potions takes up the following amount of time:
Standard or Basic Potion: 0.70 ATB
Advanced Potion: 0.85 ATB
Expert Potion: 1.0 ATB
Creature: The creature select the potions they wish to use from their spellbook. If it is a buffing spell, they will then discharge it on themselves as a free action. If it is a target or area spell, it will be discharged upon making a melee or ranged attack. The potion is discharged at a spellpower equal to ˝ of the hero’s spellpower (rounded up). Potions used by creatures are cast without mastery, unless the hero has Ultimate Alchemy. Only one potion can be used per turn of a creature.

Greetings outsider of Ashan. I am Shazioss, King of the Water Elementals, the right hand of Shalassa, and the divine chronicler of her people, the Amacaleans. Lend your time, and let me tell you of their saga:
The Birth of the Amacaleans:
At the dawn of time, the elemental dragons brought forth the mortal races and placed them on the world of Ashan. From Shalassa, the elemental dragon of water, came the Amacaleans, known to the common people as the Seaside Gnomes. The Seaside Gnomes stand around 4 1/2 feet tall, and have a skin tone ranging from teal to royal blue. A gnome has a lifespan ranging from 150-300 years. They are native to the islands of the south and spend copious amounts of time at sea and in the water, and although they are not gifted to breath underwater, they can spend virtually indefinite amounts of time in the seawater without irritation, and have a second lens on their eyes that allows them to see fairly clearly underwater. It was Shalassa's will that her people play an active role in the world of Ashan, and she knew if her creation were an underwater people, they would invariably retreat into isolation. Gnomes are an adventurous, curious, and innovative people that always can always look upon the vast horizon with a sense of hope for the future. They express their fascination and love of the world and for their revered matron dragon deity through their art, music, and most of all, through their science. Gnomes have acquired an exclusive art with alchemy, which bridges the gap between chemistry and the arcane, and it is this exclusive art which they exploit to full potential against their foes. For indeed, as with all the great mortal races of Ashan, the gnomes were destined to wage war against the forces of chaos and darkness.
Battle for the Seas:
During the first war against demonkind, while the other mortal races were battling the demon legions, the gnomes faced a much smaller threat below the waves, but they faced it alone and without hope of any allies. A watery offshoot of the demons, the wicked naga, marshaled their forces under the banner of Urgash and of a corrupt, twisted aspect of Shalassa, know to them as the Demoness of the Depths. Their mandate under the will of Urgash was to obliterate the gnomes of Shalassa while the larger demon forces were to conquer the mainlands. Their leader was Shak’ravanu, the nefarious Blue Witch. Her forces were divided into three groups, with two smaller groups ravaging the less defended islands and outposts of the gnomes, while the main force, directly commanded by the Blue Witch, marched onward to the main gnomish isle of Marderro.
Assembling the Marderro Armada:
The gnomes were ill prepared for the naga onslaught that was rippling across the seas like lightning, slaughtering every man, woman, and child in it’s wake. Under the command of High Captain Alastari, the gnomes were preparing for a massive counteroffensive as their forces gathered exponentially at Marderro. Within three painful weeks of waiting, the armada was assembled to a size that Alastari felt could match the forces of the Blue Witch head on, and he set off at once. Alastari, pressured by the constant reports flooding in of the devastation of the nagas, favored a frontal confrontation to stop the bloodshed as quickly as possible. His lieutenant, Merratio, unwaveringly disagreed. Merratio believed that should the gnomes fall, the nagas would unquestionably march onward to the human and elven kingdoms, who were already straining their military muscles to full strength against the demons. He felt it was regrettably necessary to let more settlements fall under the nagas, and to face off the Blue Witch in the waters outside of Marderro, giving the armada even more time to amass.
Scoffing at his lieutenants cold-hearted tactics, Alastari set sail, with an armada of 300 warships behind him.
The Battle of Vaku Trench:
The Blue Witch, after thoroughly scrying the armada, felt confident her forces could tackle the armada and destroy a vast portion of the gnomish forces in a single blow. Several brigades of the finest warriors from each of the two smaller groups were prepared to rendezvous with her forces at Vaku Trench. The plan went as anticipated, and the naga marauders clashed into the armada as two hurricanes roaring for dominance over the seas. Alastari’s forces fought better than expected, and the entire area was tinted in red from the blood of fallen warriors. Schools of sharks were attracted to the scene and driven into a frenzy from the sweet scent of blood. Alastari fell in combat to a naga sorcerer, leaving Merratio in command. Despite the grudging disagreement from his officers, he ordered the remaining armada to withdraw to the isle of Marderro, and left several more gnomish settlements exposed to the naga.
The Triumph at Marderro:
Though her forces were mostly intact, the Blue Witch had indeed suffered noticeable casualties at Vaku Trench… more than she had liked. Just the same, she knew that if the gnomes had time to fortify Marderro, she would never conquer it, and she knew that Merratio knew this. She had no choice but to charge onward to Marderro immediately, and that is what she. The gnomish settlements on the way were razed and butchered, and the three groups of naga armies all diverged upon Marderro, where Merratio’s reinforced armada was waiting. The extra time that Merratio had bought allowed another 200 warships to set sail from the smaller isles on the opposite side of Marderro from where the nagas were attacking. The two massive naval armies clashed in the coastal waters of Marderro, with the 200 extra warships flanking the naga army from the sides and armed to the brim with Shalassan priests that allowed the gnomish marines to plunge into the water and breath like fishes. Thousands of gnomes sunk to their watery graves, but ultimately, the nagas were torn apart by the stalwart swarm of marines that were fighting for their people’s very existence, and the Blue Witch fell with them. The victory was bittersweet though for Merratio. Countless citizens hated him for allowing the naga to raze several more gnomish settlements, and there were rumors of having him exiled. Rather than see the outcome, Merratio went into self-exile, and set sail to the Shrouded Isles to the far south, where he was never heard of again.
The Founding and Flourishing of the Coral Kingdoms:
After the great wizard Sar-Elam sacrificed himself and banished the demons to the underground prison of Sheogh in 0 YSD, civilizations were uniting across the world of Ashan. The gnomes had suffered terrible loses themselves in the war against the naga, but the war had also united them as one people. The High Council of Marderro was established to govern the gnomish civilization, which would become known as the Coral Kingdoms. The coralfolk, a sapient plantlike race of coral, joined the Coral Kingdoms, and many powerful and benevolent beasts were befriended by the gnomes, among them being the Battle Crabs, the Dragon Turtles, and the awesomely powerful Titanics. Alchemy had become a fully established art among the gnomes and their special formulas became highly envied by outsiders. Though their army was small compared to the great land powers of the Griffin Empire, the Silver Cities, and Irollan, they bolstered the mightiest navy in Ashan, and every citizen could rest easy knowing that the Coral Kingdoms could not easily be threatened.
Gnomish towns became easily distinguishable from the cities of other nations because of the magically reinforced domes that cover them, which block out the harsh weather. These domes began to serve more practical purposes when the gnomes began settling underwater. Priests of Shalassa receive a special boon that allows them to cast auras of repulsion to push back water. These special auras, though expensive to set up due to the rare reagents needed in the spell, were used underwater to create magical underwater air bubbles. Domes were then constructed to reinforce the auras, allowing the gnomes to settle in underwater cities. These underwater cities exist mostly along coastal regions, and the largest of them is the Galaci Baydome, which would eventually house the largest school of alchemy in the kingdoms and become the center of government by 788 YSD.
Though there were conflicts throughout the centuries, the gnomes came through relatively well off. During the War of the Gray Alliance in 951 YSD, when King Alaron, King Alexei VI, and King Cyrus battled off yet another demon invasion, the gnomes had to fight off another wave of nagas that coordinated the attack with the demons. But the war was quickly won and the gnomish casualties were low compared to the first naga war. Indeed, the nagas were embarrassed at their massive failure and retreated further east in the sea than ever before. This left the gnomes prouder than ever, and radical nationalism began to spread throughout Marderro. Many gnomes began to believe that they were superior to the other mortal races of Ashan, and that Shalassa was the greatest of the elemental dragons.
The Coral Kingdom in 951 YSD (marked in purple)
Urnica the Prodigy:
During the same time frame as the War of the Gray Alliance, a famous and powerful alchemist was emerging in Marderro. Her name was Urnica, and she was found stranded in an abandoned vessel 30 years earlier. Pratarre, the High Alchemist of Galaci, adopted this mysterious orphan and he had raised her to become the most talented alchemist anybody had ever seen. Many of the nationalists of the time felt that Urnica, a great prodigy among her people, was a gift from Shalassa herself.
This opinion spread like wildfire when Urnica announced that she and her alchemist assistants had patented a wondrous formula that could permanently enhance a person far beyond their normal capabilities. Through this wonder potion, known as the Concoction of Destiny, the gnomes of Marderro would unquestionably become the supreme race on Ashan, and many felt they might even be able to single-handedly destroy the demons and the naga. Urnica, her husband, her father, and her assistants set up at the great city of Highcrest, the largest city of the gnomes. There they would create huge quantities of the formula to be distributed to the army.
The Fall of Highcrest: City of Waves and Wonders:
In 952 YSD, The main laboratory at Highcrest was cleared for Urnica and her associates to begin their work. Urnica’s husband, Merratio VII, the descendant of the loved and hatred Merratio and also the High Captain of the Marderran Navy, had gone with her for political purposes. He would be present during this monumental event, and after the Concoction of Destiny was administered to the army, he would set off on the campaign to exterminate the naga in their homeland to the east. After several huge tanks of the concoction had been created, Urnica and Merratio were the first to take the concoction as a special honor. The rest would be done in the following days. The great city of Highcrest went into an epic celebration that night, for they were experiencing an event that would change Ashan forever.
(further details about what happened later that night are shrouded in mystery to the gnomes, but they can be read in the history of the Sewers faction).
The next morning, fully half of the city awoke as a horrible new creation. Their skin had turned a dark, vile yellow, and they were far stronger and more alert than they had ever been before. They felt… powerful… wonderfully powerful. Their minds had been warped and twisted, and they recalled their previous life as nothing more than a boring and worthless dream. Much of their memory had been destroyed, and they felt a compulsion to hunt and kill. Acting purely on emotional fancy, they attacked the normal gnome population of the city and mangled them to pieces. The taste of their flesh was succulent and sweet, and over a thousand civilians were devoured within a few hours. The abominable creatures charged into the great temple of Shalassa at the heart of the city, murdered and devoured the overwhelmed clerics, and sent the high tower of the temple crashing below into the city streets.
At the center of this carnage were Urnica and Merratio VII. They too had been transformed into a new and horrible creation, and many of the abominations recognized them from their former lives as figures of great authority. Urnica and Merratio VII successfully assembled them together, and established themselves as the warlords of their new army. They offered the promise to storm the entire mainland coast of Marderro, and the abominations howled in glee at the prospect. The remaining gnomes that were scattered and hiding throughout the city were trapped and force-fed the Concoction of Destiny, and by nightfall, they too had transformed into abominable creatures. In a single day, the greatest city of the gnomes in all it’s pride and splendor had been completely annihilated, with only a few dozen terrified survivors that had managed to flee into the countryside.
Pratarre’s Vision:
Pratarre, the father of Urnica, was one of the precious few that had managed to flee the city. His apartment was located near the city gate, and he woke early that morning when the slaughter was just beginning. He hastily grabbed his backpack full of his papers and fled alone into the countryside, and soon hit a densely grown forest. He collapsed that evening, exhausted and alone. His soul was pierced by the shrapnel of his shattered dreams, and he suspected he would die in the woods that night.
In his restless sleep, he saw a vision of the six elemental dragons standing in a circle, as well as Asha and Urgash. They were looking into a mirror, which flashed with the images of the Marderran people’s great monuments and architecture. In the images, Pratarre could see the gnomes singing, celebrating, giving speeches… and he could feel their pride. In a fleeting few moments, Pratarre’s mind was overwhelmed with the pride of an entire nation until he could tangibly taste the filth on this tongue. Then, each of the dragons spat into the mirror. The mirror whirled in a swirl of colors, ending in a vile yellow and a bright flash. As the vision began to blur and he felt the pangs of consciousness tugging at his mind, he heard a single, distinct word, "Drink."
Pratarre awoke in the woods in a cold sweat, and a gnawing urge to discover the truth.
Pratarre’s Discovery:
The next day, Pratarre stumbled upon the town of Lamiste. He demanded access to a personal laboratory at once, and the magistrate, startled by the appearance of the esteemed head of the alchemy school, complied without question. You see, Pratarre had realized that he had in his possession the only record of the Concoction of Destiny. In the hasty process of creating it, no copies were transcribed yet. He labored all day and night to create a vial of the concoction. He triple checked his notes, making sure that he got everything absolutely right. Then… with a sigh, he drank the potion.
The next day, he awoke. His skin was still blue, and his mind was still sound. However, he felt stronger… much stronger. As an older man, he was able to lift his bed up and support it on his shoulders. The Concoction of Destiny worked… it had vastly improved his body without any negative consequences. He was at first filled with relief, and then with dread. For he recalled his vision from the previous night, and pieced together the terrible puzzle. The horrible transformation that happened at Highcrest was not because of some unknown defect in the potion. The potion was perfect. No… it was a curse from the dragon deities; a curse that all of them, even Urgash and Asha, mutually agreed upon. With a heavy heart, he gathered together the notes in creating the concoction and burned them in the fireplace. He only hoped that the curse had distorted Urnica’s mind and memory to render her incapable of recreating it. Somehow, he suspected that the dragon deities wanted it that way.
Current Times:
Fortunately, the curse did indeed render Urnica incapable of recreating the Concoction of Destiny. Her skills as an alchemist were almost completely ruined, and she had little patience for it anyway. With the advent of the abominations, the territory of Marderro on the mainland was completely overrun and destroyed. The Marderran Navy was assembled to thwart a coastal invasion if the abomination decided to launch the drydocked ships and attack, but the attack never came. The abominations retreated further inland, where it is assumed they gathered their forces.
During Queen Isabel's War in 969 YSD, the gnomes were preoccupied with exterminating several demon cults within the Coral Kingdoms, as well as attempting to reclaim a piece of the mainland further east of where the abominations had taken over.
Now, in 990 YSD, the gnomes have successfully claimed a chunk of the hostile wilderness just west of the abominations, and have all but eradicated the demon cults plaguing their kingdoms. The great pride of Marderro has been shed, and it has once again returned to the passionate, humble, and spirited society that it was once. But it will not be a time for peace. The Coral Kingdoms have marshaled their forces, and are now prepared for a reentry into their lost lands...
Mission 1:
The campaign launches off with a young and reckless marine captain, Zortha, setting off with an expeditionary force into the coastlands that formerly belonged to Marderro that are now claimed by the troglodytes. She is under the command of 2nd Captain Rathuro. Their mission is to scout out the sewers of of the ruined town of Macambra, and eliminate any troglodytes hiding within. The main army is ambushed by abominations, Rathura and his forces are slain, and Zortha is left with a small army that she must use to fight her way back to the eastern side of the coast, where there is a Marderran military base.
Mission 2:
Zortha arrives back at the military base of Azirbrome, but the base hasn’t received their expected supply shipment and they will soon die of starvation. Nobody knows why the supplies haven’t arrived, or when supplies will come, and with Rathura killed, the men turn to Zortha as their leader. Zortha orders the army to head directly north, through troglodyte territory, in hopes to reach the Free Cities before they run out of rations. She battles several abominations on the way, as well as a stray tribe of orcs that set up in the area.
Mission 3:
Zortha arrives at the southern borders of the Free Cities and finds a large gnomish town. Apparently, the community was formed by refugee gnomes that had fled the coastlands when the abominations took control of it, and they had been living under the domain of the Free Cities ever since. The people embrace Zortha, but the rear scouts report that a powerful force of necromancers, allied with the troglodytes, have been tracking Zortha, and she must marshal the defense of the town. While the town is building its defenses for the inevitable siege, Zortha must scour the countryside for any allies she can find.
Mission 4:
Zortha now has command of the gnomish town and has gained several thousand of them as eager recruits that have hopes to return to their ancestral homeland. She marches back south and encounters several stray bands of Marderrans on her way. It seems the campaign to reclaim some of the coastlands has failed, but Zortha continues to accumulate stray forces until she has a powerful army at her command. One of the stray bands informs Zortha that the troglodyte’s center of operations is in the sewers of Macambra, the very place that Zortha was originally going to. She sets out towards the troglodyte base, and encounters another expeditionary army that was sent out from the Galaci Baydome as reinforcements. Their leader is none other than Pethargos, the High Captain.
Mission 5:
You have command of Zortha and Pethargos. You must battle your way to the troglodyte’s base in Macambra, which is located in a region surrounded by inhospitable monsters, as well as Necromancer and Dungeon outposts that are working for the troglodytes in exchange for being able to build in the region. You eventually delve into the subterranean sewers and slay their leader, the Blackguard Sarcvacian. Pethagros is killed in the conflict, and Zortha returns to Galaci Baydome, victorious and having the reputation of saving the campaign. Rumor has it that she will become the new High Captain.
Starting around the 300’s YSD, gnomes began giving themselves ‘improper’ names that reflected something about them. Today, all gnomes are given a proper name upon birth, and an improper name that they give themselves in their teenage years. This is an expression of creativity and identify among the gnomes. Non-campaign heroes are labeled with their improper names, and campaign heroes are labeled with their proper names.

My main concern as of now is that the Alchemy skill is understandable. Is anybody confused on what it does?
Also, is the Peanut Butter Plant (under special buildings) too goofy, or is it cool?

jiriki9
-Dome: A fantastic, completely worked-out faction, innovative/creative, detailed and interesting. I grant it with the complete score of 50 points.
Dark Crystal
Dome
Cohesiveness 10/10 – the faction is quite cohesive
Storyline/History 8/10 – amazing history, but campaign doesn’t have very epic ending and storyline.
Creativity 15/15 – the faction is very original and creative. Especially like the crab riders and dragon turtles idea.
Battle facets 8/10 – interesting creatures ability, racial ability for creatures is well, but racial ability for heroes seems not very interesting, just casting spells without mana losses.
Discretionary 5/5 – what can I say? I’m impressed.
Total Score: 46/50
Mytical
Dome - 40/50
Jiriki: 50 (25%) + DarkCrystal: 46 (25%) + Mytical: 40 (50%)
Final score= 44
