"Oh... Ohoho. Well, hello there. Welcome."

After the former overseer of the Arcadian Clinic had left, there was a hesitant discussion on its future keeper. The Duchess of Arcadia was far too busy to supervise the endless coming and going of patients. The list of potential candidates was remarkably short (containing only three names), and two of those candidates weren't even situated in the city. So why did it take so long for that one last person to be named?

Upon anyone seeing the list for themselves, the reviews were... Mixed.

"He'll just turn it into a blood bank."

- Armiger Nadir Eisande

"One day I will kill Izma Siha."

- I, I! The beautiful, the extravagant, the lovely and delightful and radiant Seamstress!

"The Inevitable has occurred!"

- The Seneschal of the Royal Caewynn Family

"Be nice to him."
- Duchess Camellia Aubreen

Duke-Consort Izmael Aubreen, Apothecary of Arcadia, has taken up residence in the Clinic as its official Head. While he promises that no real structure and hierarchy will come to pass for those who treat the injured and sickly, he has offered to "broaden its range of services" to the general public. For a measly sum of money, or what he refers to as his 'blood tithe', he is willing to make 'alterations of the flesh' as per the patient's request. What these alterations entail is up to the patient themselves, though he does require a template with which to work on should the alterations involve anything he considers "beyond the pale".

While the Duke-Consort has a reputation for being a specialist within the physical scope of medicine, he still offers these lessons to those interested in understanding the more mundane sciences behind medical treatment - A good baseline from which to expand one's own understanding. Scheduled lessons will begin as early as................. 

One can only hope for the best with the Duke-Consort at the helm!

... In the later hours of the Clinic... There are rumors that the Duke-Consort stays up late, researching a means of enhancing the non-magi bodies through body-altering rituals. Please see Izmael Aubreen for any requests into his research of the "advancement of humanity's innate desire to ascend".

... The Duchess has also stated that "No, he does not mean it like that."

... If you want medical lessons, please find him IC.
