I, Professor Getter Netch, dedicate this work to the memory of the great Master Starod! May his deeds, which gave life to modern alchemy, remain in people's memory forever!
History:
Master Starod was born in the third star cycle since the founding of the empire into a family of hereditary shamans from the Tribe of Herb Readers. Due to his outstanding intellect, he was accepted into the ranks of imperial alchemists, where he quickly achieved great success. He criticized the practice of applying elixirs on unprepared people, which earned him wide support among ordinary people, and by the beginning of the fourth star cycle since the founding of the empire, he became the chief alchemist in the capital. He developed a methodology for comprehensive training of novice alchemists and banned previous dangerous practices. He invented over fifty different elixirs. He died as a result of a Vardak raid while trying to personally deliver food supplies to the besieged border town near the Gates of Wastes.
He did not leave any descendants.
