Alchemists Marie (Marlone) and Elie (Elfir Traum) run a shared workshop on Artisan's Way in the city of Salburg, where their reputation is slowly growing. When their former teacher Ingrid asks them to write books for a new library under construction — at least one per year over the next five years — they take on the project. During that time, they meet Anis Ryftchen, a young alchemist training to become a teacher who is quietly working herself to exhaustion trying to balance her academy duties with her personal goal of writing books for her school in the Southern Country. Whether Marie and Elie can help her is ultimately up to the player.
