The first-ever user-run festival [color=purple][b]Baldwin’s Bash[/b][/color] will begin [color=purple][b]September 03, 2017[/b][/color] and we're running a [color=purple][b]skin & accent design contest[/b][/color] in celebration! The contest is for [color=purple][b]alchemy-themed[/b][/color] skins & accents.
[center][size=4][color=purple][b]Theme: Alchemy[/b][/color][/size][/center]
Below is some great information to help you get started on your submission:
[center][color=purple][b]Alchemy[/b][/color][/center]
Alchemy allows dragons to create exclusive items from the ordinary items they have. First, they transmute their items into brewing materials. Then, they combine different brewing materials -- and perhaps a few other items -- to create something completely different. Alchemy can be practiced at Baldwin’s Bubbling Brew at the Trading Post.
[center][color=purple][b]The Trading Post[/b][/color][/center]
The Trading Post is where dragons from all of Sornieth can go to get special items and treasure. There is Swipp’s Swap Stand, where dragons can trade their ordinary items for exclusive items found only at the Trading Post. There is Pinkerton’s Plundered Pile, where dragons can snatch a free item once a day, and Crim’s Collection Cart, where dragons can trade their items for some treasure. At Tomo’s Trivia Tablet, dragons can trade knowledge for treasure, and finally, at Baldwin’s Bubbling Brew, dragons can melt down their items into special alchemical materials to then be used to create new items.

Baldwin is the old Bogsneak in charge of the Bubbling Brew at the Trading Post. Originally a Pearlcatcher dragon, Baldwin was changed into a Bogsneak due to his long years of alchemy. He is depicted below:
