The Laboratory, bringers of a new age.
Many of the Isles that surround the Vampire Princes once belonged to the Lizardfolk, who had guarded their lands against many invaders. Yet the unnatural charisma of the Vampires helped to secure a peaceful relationship with the present rulers. Each of the Isles that grant passage has become the domain of a powerful Necromancer. Those that seek a higher standing in life, or desire the gift of immortality are set apart from those that seek only riches. The truly ambitious are brought to these isles, forced to leave kin and neighbor behind, adapting to a life of service, and realizing untold power. Like all the other Necromancers, Miroslava was stationed on an island and tasked with creating the perfect species to be utilized by the Princes. Like all the other Necromancers, has remains unaware of how many others are just like her, working towards the same demands with the funding of her patron. Unlike the other Necromancers, she cheated and brought her younger sister with her.
The Laboratory of the sisters was built into the curve of a small rock formation, which created an imposing view from afar. Three slits allow for excess water, oil, and sewage to drain out with each experiment. However, this has resulted in the death of the the vegetation that grew around the laboratory. Three large hatching pods, akin to basins of water and herbs were built in order to keep the subjects healthy as long as possible during the testing. The sisters are well studied on the flesh of man and beasts, and tried to add the essence of incompatible creatures to create a superior life form. Lizardfolk were sold to the sisters by their King, in exchange for meat from the mainland.
Miroslava is the head of the study. She specializes in bone structure, obsessively seeking to alter the physical nature of creatures and test subjects. Additional limbs, and infusing bones with metal has brought very limited success, though through some strange byproduct of the experiments the Hatch-ling's grew at a rate faster than expected. Hatch-ling's are kept in containment zones, resembling labyrinths on a much smaller scale, where the walls are decorated with unnatural patterns. They are experimented upon daily, nourished with the flesh of the fallen.
Yaroslava, known as the Mistress of Blood in her hometown, holds the belief that true power is found within the blood of a species. A misunderstanding of the base difference between Lizardfolk and Draconic biology has inspired her to infuse traits of Kobolds, Dragonborn, Drakes, and Wyverns into the eggs under her watch, to create the ultimate Dragon-folk. Marked with wards of protection, different liquids are injected into the eggs. Those that hatch are strange, grotesque monsters. Though there has never been the intended result hatched, there is now a better understanding of the Lizardfolk, causing many changes to how they are used.
