Auria's Lab

Auria’s Lab is Auria Van Varus’s secret research facility, located in the Western Coerthas Highlands. Funded by Umbra and operated under the front company Fury’s Gaze, it served as the primary site for Auria’s human experimentation programs. Its staff — mercenaries, exiles, and experimental subjects — followed Auria out of loyalty, fear, or shared ideology.

Facility Layout

The 1F Elevator at the top of the floor connects to ground level — the destination Zekito fought his way to during his escape attempt (Subject 241 file: “slaughtered his way to floor 1F”). Green door markers indicate standard access; red markers indicate secured checkpoints.

Room	Name	Notes
1	Lobby	Main entry from the 1F Elevator.
2–3	Drug Labs	Two adjacent laboratories.
4	Office	Administrative / command office.
5	Medical Office	Medical admin and intake.
6–7	Surgery Rooms	Two adjacent surgery rooms.
8	Medical Clinic	General medical care and monitoring.
9	Guards Room	Security station, adjacent to the cell block.
10–15	Cells	6 individual holding cells along the western wall. Zekito was held here.
16	Resonance Lab	Dedicated to Compound Phi — Resonant-adjacent experiments.
17	Test Chamber 1	Large primary testing space.
18	Test Chamber A	Secondary chamber. Used for Compound Psi subjects (Lorelai’s file references Chamber A).
19	Test Chamber B	Zekito was contained here post-Compound Psi (Subject 241 file: “contained within Testing Chamber B”).
20	Voidsent Infusion Lab	Dedicated to Compound Psi research — voidsent bonding procedures and the Darkhold Rift. Isolated.
21	Crow’s Nest	Auria’s command room. Operational overview of the facility.
22	Storage	Supply and equipment storage.
23	Maintenance / Power Room	Facility power and mechanical systems.
24	Archive	Records storage. Subject files, research documentation.
25	Arena	Large circular central space. Combat testing. Zekito’s initial 36-kill combat test likely took place here.

Research Programs

Compound	Goal	Method	Outcome
Ω (Omega)	Neo-Garlean creation	Dragon blood infusion	Success at 10 doses (Liraz). Failure at 6 (Amelia Graves): total sensory degradation.
Φ (Phi)	Replicate Resonant-class abilities	Chamber exposure	Failure: limited resonant-like abilities, sub-par compared to true Resonants (Hapus Anrhefn).
Ψ (Psi)	Voidsent bonding	Darkhold Rift infusion + stabilizing compound	Success (Lorelai Lesrekta, Zekito). Compound dependency permanent.
