Re: VMs: Alchemy in Krumlov

["Jan" <hurychj@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,  

Krumlov and Trebon, both belonging to count Rosenberg, were  havens for alchemists, with importance no less than Rudolph's laboratories in Prague.  It was there where Dee and Kelly worked after being expelled from Prague. Dee's son was even born there and was given name "Trebonius".

While Kelly later left back to Rudolph's service, Dee stayed in trebon but without Kelly he could not even contact his "angels" and eventually left for England. Kelly's fate was even worse: apparently he run out of his "red powder" and could not make gold any more. Of course, Rudolph didn't believe him and put him in prison. When Kelly tried to escape, he fell from the wall  and died from his injuries.

If I get answer to my letter to Krumlov webmaster, I will try to get the notice about VM on that page, too :-).
