🎙️ Welcome back to The Mythic Mic Podcast, where worlds are built one choice at a time, magic always has a cost, and we believe side characters deserve just as much obsession as main ones.

This week, we’re returning to Alchemised for Part 2 of our deep-dive discussion. If Part 1 was about the plot, main characters, and emotional impact, this episode is about everything beneath it — the gods, the history, the side characters, and the uncomfortable question of which side is "good" when it comes to war.

Hosts Bethany Amanda and Sara Santillan are joined again by artist and Alchemised superfan Karina Giada, who returns to help us peel back every narrative layer. We dig into the origins of alchemy, the celestial history of Sol, Lumithia, and Luna, and how one divine catastrophe reshaped the world. We also talk about why the Order of the Eternal Flame may not be as righteous as they seem, how religion became a weapon of control, and the moral line the resistance refused to cross to win the war. Finally, we spend time on some major side characters, including Luc, Lila, and Soren.

This episode is for readers who love deep worldbuilding, ethical gray zones, and the kind of magic systems that reveal character as much as they drive plot.

🔥 IN THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…
✨ The celestial origin of alchemy and why lumithium changed everything.
✨ Sol, Lumithia, and Luna, and how the gods/celestial objects still shape the world even in the background.
✨ The moral dilemma of necromancy and whether the Resistance made the right call.
✨ Why the Order’s version of “purity” starts to look like control.
✨ Side characters who quietly redefine the narrative, including Lila and Soren, and whether Helena had a crush on Luc.
✨ How history decides who the heroes were, and how this story challenges that.
