Sunchild's Laboratory Journal, Year Four

Preface Notes: After a full two months of work, finally had permission to leave Qeynos and assistance with gaining citizenship in Freeport. Now setting up laboratory in grand suite at the Bloodhaze Inn; room is rather large, but nothing compared to laboratory in Maj'Dul.

Will have to convince Drathiri to purchase a larger home once established. Dislike not having room for multiple cells and experiments.

Sunchild's Laboratory Journal, Year Four

Preface Notes: Not even a full year, and sent request to the Lady's sisterhood to leave Qeynos and assist Moonchild in Freeport. Cannot tolerate Qeynosian squeamishness, cannot tolerate Calisto's continued captivity while I am unable to summon forth servants. Cannot stand the weaknesses of conjured minions, nor their lack of synergy with Calisto and Cassondra's soul's.

Plan to procure room in West Freeport adjacent to Drathiri's, will move laboratory as well - may have to sacrifice having anything but a laboratory to get out of this Mythic forsaken city.

Have stolen books on local Draconics from Concordium while procuring passage to Freeport; hopeful of Mythics' continued existance.

Sunchild's Laboratory Journal, Year Four

Preface Notes: So many changes for Maj'dul - contact from larger isle known as Antonica and D'Lere occurred, causing quite a commotion among the citizens.

This year sees assignments of reconnaissance, infiltration into their cities to learn more about their ways, and about what impact they may have on the Lord and Lady's situation.

Also reconnaissance to discover what of the Mythics like Lord Nagafen and Lady Vox remain on these "mainlands"; order fears the worse, and expects no Draconic survivors on the larger isles.

Assigned to a city known as Qeynos as it is apparently the seat of Koada'dal existence. Quickly discovered they dislike Necromancy...not quite sure how long I can hide my professions while here.

Relocating laboratory to home in South Qeynos for now.

Sunchild's Laboratory Journal, Year One

Experiment: 13

Subject: 47

Phase: Soul Extraction Surgery, Day 1

Notes: Subject dead. Basic Djinn runes did not break Calisto's bindings. Subject's soul destroyed, collapsed from stress created by the Djinn magic shattering improperly and disrupting the flow of the Lifestream System and other magics in the area.

Corporal shell has been raised as a shadowy stalker, lacks sentience, has been resigned to grounds guard duty; created set path and exclusions list for minion. Left subject in garden, may check on later.

Calisto unable to raise currently. Attempted surgery exhausted psyche. Will use non-sentients for now.

Moonchild unaware of true nature of experiment; Drathiri offered condolences, and treated me to dinner and bloodwine - lacking desire to show appreciation.

Disappointing.

Sunchild's Laboratory Journal, Year One

Experiment: 13

Subject: 47

Phase: Pre-Surgery, Day 21

Notes: Subject's body has been purified with sea salts and rain water mixed with lye. Hair has been cut and styled to match Calisto's former style, dyed to her dark brown shade as well. Applied first skin colouration treatment earlier, second applied after lunch, decided to not apply the third as skin colouration is what Calisto's once was.

Basic Draconic wards have been applied with Dervin Ink, in correlating colours; runework included below.

Left patient

Sunchild's Laboratory Journal, Year One

Experiment: 13

Subject: 47

Phase: Pre-Surgery, Day 19

Notes: Psyche eradication complete. Higher functions have ceased, subject remains largely catatonic. Moonchild has programmed several command responses into subject's mind; a collar of obedience has been secured to subject's neck and will facilitate anything beyond basic bodily functions.

To note, this subject has been the purest yet produced by Moonchild's techniques, and a letter of high praise has been taken to his brethren. Perhaps Lord Siyamak will reward him for diligent services and strengthening of bonds with Lady Barakah's sisterhood.

Sunchild's Laboratory Journal, Year One

Experiment: 13

Subject: 47

Phase: Pre-Surgery, Day 15

Notes: Memor eradication nearly complete, subject believes themselves to be a child of the age of seven. Rarely required to make use of the restraints; subject can be subdued by giving simple dolls and chocolates. Had dark shaman bind a child-spirit to a small feline doll to be \"child's\" companion - makes everything easier.

Side Note: I almost like having a child...almost.

Subject continues to submit self to physical exercises, though simple calisthenics are used for shorter but more frequent periods of time. Question whether child was raised within the Tears or not, believe this to be so...hopefully will not receive retaliation from their ranks.

Moonchild beginning psyche eradication this afternoon. Expects results by next week at latest. Quite satisfied with Drathiri's presence here, and have arranged for a larger guest quarters to be added to estate.

Lady Barakah has provided me with a lexicon on the lesser Djinn languages, designs for hexbreakers will be forthcoming.
