History
Fiznab was a famous gnome alchemist whose creations could enhance an individuals abilities during conflict and war. He soon grew tired of those creations having seen the devastating physical and mental effects they had. He began to narrow his focus to healing the wounded, sick, and even those with mental ailments and disabilities. The lab grew in size, the building having been modified and expanded to three times its original size.
He opened wards and a clinic for those in need of his services and his success rate drove him to add additional buildings and create a compound and sanctuary, but this original building remains the focal point of all research and study into healing alchemy.
Upon the death of Fiznab, a trust was created to own and operate the land and buildings for healing alchemical research and treatment of ailments of many types. The trust expanded beyond research and manufacture of healing compounds to include the training of alchemists and physicians. It has attracted talented students and researchers from across the continent.
The building had been expanded on two occasions after its initial construction to accommodate the growing activities of the research lab and the assistants and students. The first expansion added two two-story wings to the original building. The north wing was used as a patient ward and surgical unit while the south wing added residential housing for students and expanded lab and classroom facilities.
The second expansion was the creation of the central tower built atop the original single story building. Its purpose was to provide living accommodations for Fiznab and offices to administrate and coordinate the growing operations.
