Dragons conquered the seven kingdoms, but to rule them the Targaryens needed a less temperamental tool. When the Great king Meagor saw the power of the alchemists’s Guild, he blessed us with his patronage.

In those days, we accommodate transmuted metals and other wonders, but the king was most interested in our mastery of the substance which there is not of our order, dumb wildfire. A sight misnomer to the unnitiated, the substance indeed seems uncontrollable, water will not extinguish it nor plate of steel repel it.

Our order alone knows its secrets. In bare stone cells beneath the Guild hall our acolytes prepare the substance with utmost care and entra magic apprentices then remove the jars to a secure storage. Overseeing its purity are the wisdoms such as myself who are adept in the alchemical mysteries. Should an acolyte prove unworthly and allow the substance to ignite? The ceilings are failed to collapse and fill the room with sand. For once lit, only smothering or the starvation will quench the fire.

Many years did the alchemist Guild serve the Targaryen faithfully until we were beset on all sides by the envious the order of misters who dismissed all learning, but their own and the charlatans who hopped green paint and worse in our names. After the unfortunate prince Aerion Targaryen drunk with wine boasted that a draught of the substance would transmute him a dragon. Che…, we lost our royal favor.

Then came the wise king Aerys II of his name, I was merely an acolyte. When he restored our Guild to its former glory, as had his great forefathers, he appreciated our secret arts even naming wisdom Rossart as hand of the king. Together they punished his enemies as befits a true Targaryen.

During the war of the usurper, I heard whispers that king Aerys had engaged out greatest wisdoms for an ultimate weapon against his foe. But sadly King’s Landing must have fallen before it could be used and many of our wisdoms disappeared in the sack of the city.

Victims of ignorance and envy as ever, I’d wager yet out order perservered like the substance which grows ever mode potent as it ages. We perfect our ancient arts in darkness forgotten by the world.
