On the 30th of October 305AC, the doors of the humble Crown Apothecary swung wide to the song of late autumn fowl. The ivy-entangled mortar building had for years been a mainstay of high street Regalia, and the destination of choice for civilians with stuffy noses to broken bones. However, on this day the doors opened not just with the scents of herbs and chemicals, but a befitting announcement.
"Dearest citizens of Regalia," The Yanar Nadina Haaven exclaimed forth.
"It is on this day; in the midst of the Regalian War, and on the cusp of a sure to be icy winter; that the Crown Apothecary has seen an urgent need for medical advancement. I speak not only of an improvement in the strength of our bandages and efficiency of our nurses, but a complete progression in the way we view medicine, alchemy, and natural resources as a whole. To the innocence of many, we are sitting upon mountains of intellectual gold, much of which is largely disregarded an asset during wartime. As something that I have seen alter the lives of millions in ways both positive and negative, this is something which we: myself, the Crown Apothecary, and the Haaven family, wish to rectify.
It is thus with great pride that I announce the formation of the Alchemia Order: a society born of the vibrant and scholarly minds of the Crown Apothecary. It is my hope that it will be assisted by the equally talented among you, and that through our collective minds, voices, and power, we can bring safety to our glorious home through the most efficient way possible.
The Alchimia Order will consist of equal parts physicians, alchemists, and scholarly minds, whom wish to assist in safekeeping Regalia through the advancement of medicine and use of natural resources. Our scope will be limited not only to treating those injured at home, but assisting our beloved troops on the front lines with efficient healing techniques and alchemical warfare. With time, care, and a collaboration from all walks of life, we can put effort into discovering new substances that may spell the difference between a win or loss at the hands of our enemies. With hope, we will be able to prevent a blight such as the recent Zzarlo's Illness from ever infecting Regalia's precious soil in the first place.
To those who may display an interest in aiding this endeavor, a sign-up form will be available upon the tavern noticeboard to collect and fill out with your details. The Crown Apothecary— known henceforth as the collective Alchemia Order— will be eagerly awaiting your responses. We thank all of you for your continued patronage at our shop, and any donations you can give towards the Regalian cause!"

From the minds behind the once quaint Crown Apothecary comes The Imperial Alchemia Order, Regalia's finest medical charter and dispensary of medicinal goods island-wide. The Alchemia Order focuses upon the collaboration of physicians and alchemists to provide citizens with a swift response to injuries, as well as the further development of effective medicines and alchemic aids. It operates from it's bustling main street clinic beside the tavern, where Regalian citizens can freely receive healthcare and advice every day of the week. The Order additionally works with various organizations throughout the city, such as the Vigilant Shield, to provide them with medicines, supplements, and on-the-scene care where required.
The duty of the Alchemia Order rests not only in providing medical care, but also in the experimentation of alchemy both healing and detrimental. The Order boasts the right to brew and experiment with all known natural substances in it's designated laboratory or on moderated grounds, to assist in development of warfare for the city's guard forces. Non-contraband substances and select aids such as dried herbs and in-house remedies can be purchased from the downstairs counter of the Alchemia Order, which is run all year by the organization's members.
