Brutor Rubyeye's Laboratory
Summary
The hidden laboratory opened by Spinal preserves Brutor Ruby Eye’s research, artifacts, memories, void containment, and Barrier system plans. Its rooms include a Tor lecture room, teleport circle, memory-orb archives, museum, pylon designs, void chamber, and protective systems keyed to Brutor’s hand and blood. The laboratory exposes the old wizards’ work with the Barrier, Ennui, the Pact, and the primeval elements, while a later inaccessible crater laboratory may be a related or separate site.
Known Details
