Lodge Evermist

**Lodge Evermist** is one of the five Lodges of the Snowrose Academy and other academies in Gwynlynd. It represents the first stage of grief Victoire Wilona went through while mourning Reverie Beausomnia and was heavily influenced by Atticus Revelian.

## Motto

Lodge Evermist's motto is **"All things have small beginnings"**, and correlates well with both their typical thirst for knowledge and ability to create new things from scratch.

## History

The first stage of grief that Queen Victoire went through, was **Denial**. She refused to believe that Reverie couldn't be saved, so she researched and learned more about magic and did everything in her power to find a way to save her. She especially tried to do so through the creation of potions and alchemy, especially with the help of Dwight Elizon.

## Subjects

### Alchemy

The first Evermist-specific subject is Alchemy. In this subject, students learn about different natural substances such as minerals or metals, but also about magical substances such as auras or souls and how to take one thing and turn it into another with the help of magic.

### Potionry

In Potionry, students learn all about different kinds of pharmaceutics, potions and potion ingredients as well as how to properly brew potions. It's important that students learn to not just follow instructions but to also understand what they are doing and why they are doing it.
