Lady Evalina Hartwall's Laboratory

Summary

Lady Evalina Hartwall’s Laboratory, also known as Mama Hartwall’s lab or Hartwall’s lab, is a separate location from the mapped city of Hartwall. It preserves Lady Evalina Hartwall’s old magical and prison work through memory rooms, family records, containment machinery, puzzles, and a portal network reaching sites such as the Ice Prison and Valentinhide’s house. The laboratory also holds clues to the Hartwall children’s identities, elemental prison crises, and the fire-rift incident, and later became a dangerous refuge for copper-dragon resistance survivors from Sunserene.

Known Details

  • On Day 46, after rejecting Valentinhide’s costly pathways, the party planned to rest and go to the laboratory.
  • The lab contains memory rooms, prison doors, handle puzzles, portal links, a Hartwall-style door handle and archway, an urn or shrine room, and a fire elemental rift.
  • Day 47 lab material preserved Hartwall family memories, Hannah Joy’s erasure, Joy-labelled tea-set papers, Garadule-family clues, Sierra’s arrows, and records connected to elemental prison machinery.
  • Day 47 lab material and later Hartwall-family context identify the rose-field tea set as a Hartwall child’s tea party: Uncle Leeg was Icefang, Mum was Lady Evalina Hartwall, Daddie / Daddle was Argentum, stupid cat was the Hartwall Cat, and Poopoo Head was the child’s sister, now known to be either Eliana or Lady Kalissa Hartwall.
  • Day 47 rooms, doors, and room-images inside the lab included the rose-field picture / illusion room, the desert badlands room showing Noxia and Sierra, the coral bathroom with the shoreline temple image associated with the Baytail Accord, Kaylissa’s room, a possible Freeport lighthouse dining room, the purple dome / Gaurd room, the dark black rock swamp trophy room, the flying room, and the square black obsidian portal room.
  • The lab’s portal network reached separate places, including the Ice Prison and Valentinhide’s house; her palace is on one of the moons.
  • The right blade was used to go to the laboratory at the end of Day 47, where the party gave the ice elemental ball to the fire elemental and closed the fireplace rift.
  • Day 48 began after the party closed the fire elemental rift in the laboratory.
  • On Day 58, the party teleported to Lady Evalina Hartwall’s Laboratory. The teleport-room door was blockaded from outside, someone ran barefoot away, and the lab held an urn or shrine room, an old bedroom, the silver dragon figurine covered in jade dust, Goldilocks, Jack, Mother Goose, Hansel, and other Sunserene copper-dragon resistance refugees.
  • The refugees were warned not to release the tiny fire elemental or portal in one bedroom and not to open the small secret dining-room hatch because the place might explode.
