Arkham Asylum
The Arkham Sanitarium, or Arkham Asylum, is a mental ward named after the town of Arkham. A facility for the depraved and psychologically ill, the sanitarium holds a dark history involving the occult.
Description[]
The building itself is massive, with a large exterior of enormous interconnecting buildings surrounding a courtyard. The building is adjacent to a coastline, with a large beach. A large beacon, can be seen atop the tower in the front building.
Overview[]
Arkham Sanitarium is depicted as an extremely sinister ward for those who are deeply disturbed and/or insane. It has accepted many patients over the years, but only a handful were able to leave the madhouse. Civilians only hear rumors of the occult, as no one knows what is really happening in the institute.
By today's standards, Arkham would be seen as inhuman yet sadly it was based somewhat on fact in the sense up until fairly recently. In past history asylums were run as prisons rather than hospitals and patients were often subjected to abuse or left to fend for themselves in harrowing circumstances.
History[]
Background[]
Arkham Sanitarium is a facility intended to care for the psychologically disabled, or so it was. With the Chief of Staff, Marcelo Jimenez joining the Chrysalis Corporation, the facility then existed solely as a grounds for experiments at a level closest to the outside world. The hapless patients admitted to the hospital then served only as an expandable means of perfecting the STEM project being designed there (originally by Herbert West) those who did not die while connected lost what little mental capacity they retained beforehand.
