An area where alchemists fused the parts of various organisms to create new creatures known as chimeras. Lamiae, Merrows, puks, Mandragora, hydras, and khimairas were created here among many others, with khimairas being the originals. It is also supposedly where the earliest blue mages were created and thus likely the home of many flan and soulflayers. The dark experiments once conducted thoughtout these godforsaken chambers are rumored to have rent a hole in the foundation of Vana'diel; a hole hidden in the darkest depts of the final chamber, protected by hundreds of horrors.
The Troll mercenary leader Megomak currently has an interest in the testing grounds' contents.
