Circle of Urinomancers

== History and Culture ==
The Urinomancers are an alchemical sect banished from the Kingdom of Cups due to a scientific disagreement that degenerated into an academic sectarian war. They are a significantly smaller group and far less powerful numerically than the Scatomancers. After being repelled by the Scatomancers aswell and specifically banned from entering the Brown Academy, they moved north until they found the Urine Woods as a perfect environment for them. There they built the semi-transparent Yellow Tower of Urea, sparkling in the sunlight, and at its foot the small town of Piddletown. To complete this colossal structure they used techniques of Urinebending, Weestallization and liquid Tinklementals. The Yellow Tower serves as their place of residence and academy at the same time.
Despite their persecution and outsider status, the Urinomancers are a happy bunch and a little less elitist than the sometimes a little aloof Scatomancers, although they take their alchemical and Urinomantic studies at least as seriously. Unlike the Scatomancers, they don't exclude women from their circle, as they know how it feels to be excluded and numerically they can use any capable Urinomancer in their ranks. The female urinomancers who live in Piddletown, though forbidden from sleeping in the Yellow Tower, are referred to as the Daughters of the Morning Stream. 
== The Yellow Tower ==
The Yellow Tower also known as the Leaky Academy is a collosal structure erected in the Urine Woods, the top of which rises well above the clouds. It consists of a glass-like crystalline material, which is believed to be pee solidified by urinomancy. The structure emits a sour, ammonia-like odor, but looks immensely beautiful from afar when reflected in Lake Harnsee. Atop its pinnacle, the fabled Piddlestone glows and sparkles, a yellow crystal that causes all bodies of water within miles to turn to urine as long as it sits in its ornate base

=== Tinklementalism ===
Tinklemental, also referred to as "Piss Elementals" (derogatory) are elementals of animated urine fluid that roam the Urine Woods in search of intruders. If they find any, they take them in their wet clutch and bring them to the yellow tower. Defeating a Tinklemental in combat with conventional weapons is almost impossible. The best strategy to beat them is to dry them out. A magically vaporized tinklemental leaves nothing behind but a pungent crystalline residue of urea.
== Foreign Relations ==
Relations between the Urinomancers and the Scatomancers are strained, despite suffering a a similar fate, but not overtly hostile. Due to the stigmatization of both disciplines and content overlaps, which are sometimes larger than both circles would ever admit, there is a certain mutual acceptance and tolerance. The contempt they feel when they talk about the other faction is purely scientific in nature, since both believe the other circle is on the completely wrong track and believe themselves to be on the verge of creating the Philosopher's Stone. The Scatomancers disparagingly refer to the Urinomancers as "Piss Wizards" while the Urinomancers contemptuously refer to the Scatomancers as "Shit Wizards". 
Although the Urinomancers are quite capable of defending themselves, if a large-scale attack occurs, despite the disagreements they stand under the protection of the Scatomancers. Relations with Grobianism are mostly economic but peaceful, although many of the peasants are skeptical of them. There is a non-aggression pact between the two alchemist circles of urine and scat and an agreement to come to each other's aid in times of need, despite fundamental academic differences.
