Description
This is Eirlys' preliminary set-up. Her own sanctum and laboratory will be in the same building, placed inside a small garden.
The lab smells heavily of mustelid musk and flowers. She keeps a menagerie of various mustelids, kept in pens: a stoat, a weasel, a wolverine, and two mundane polecats. It is unclear whether these animals are present for Eirlys' benefit, or for her companion's. There are potted plants everywhere, holly bushes being most predominant, and some dead foliage where she experiments with growing other types of plants with holly.
In the future, she will begin construction of an outdoor laboratory. She will find a well-wooded area and use some Muto Herbam (and possibly enlist some assistance with Rego Auram/Aquam) to sequester off an area for her laboratory. Long-term goal is to Muto Animal (Mentem) some woodland creatures to get a guardian or two, or perhaps some trees brought to life with Muto Herbam.
