Guild of Alchemists

The Guild of Alchemists was an influential organization of medieval and early modern scientists and practitioners dedicated to studying and practicing alchemy, the precursor to modern chemistry. They focused on understanding the nature of substances, exploring transformation and transmutation, and seeking to create elixirs like the Philosopher’s Stone that could grant immortality or turn base metals into gold. The guild provided training, shared knowledge, and set standards for practice, fostering advancements in experimentation and laboratory techniques. While rooted in mystical beliefs, their work laid important groundwork for scientific development and chemical understanding.
