Thousands of years ago, the Alchemists used their magical gifts to alter the state of compounds and transform them into precious metals. There was no record of which compounds were used, or what was done to them, but the Alchemists were successful.

At some point, the quicksilver was discovered along with the other realms its pathways connected, and all manner of chaos ensued afterward.
