The Catalyst Mk.2 (Crafting Facility)

[Titan of Stone]

The Catalyst Mk.2

The Catalyst is a specialized location designed to aid in many pursuits ranging from knowledge, crafting, alchemy, and botany. The facility itself is carved into a mountain and many of its features are made of the natural stone, metals, and crystals from the mountain. The entryway on the North side also serves the facility holding a wealth of knowledge on many Skills as well as General things.

Past the Library lies the bulk of the facility which is the open Common Areas that make up the hallways which encircle a multitude of Biomes of every type to allow visitors to grow herbs in an appropriate environment. At the center of these biomes sits a large Courtyard for periods of rest while encircled by the different scenes of nature.

---

Continuing past the central area to the South section of the facility lies a large area of Barracks. While not made for comfort, these are provided for the shinobi who wish to spend long periods of time at The Catalyst to further their craft. The Barracks are also connected to personal Basic Bathrooms, while not very extravagant they serve their purpose of providing a Long Rest.

---

On the North-West Corner of the facility lies a Dining Hall and Fancy Kitchen so that those spending time in The Catalyst can eat without having to leave for long periods. The Kitchen heated by the lava of the adjacent forge to the South.

---

On the South-West side of the facility lies the forge of The Catalyst. Making up the bulk of this section of the facility are two sets each of Perfected Workplaces, Perfected Smithys, and Lava Forges. With the great amount of work space and equipment, The Catalyst's forge is renown within the Land of Earth and rumors have spread even further.

---

Finally, the East side of the facility is made up entirely of labs and equipment towards more refined pursuits. The northern section adjoins to the Library with a wide Luxury Study allowing a place to do research. The entirety of the lab is made of the equivalent of two Perfected Alchemical Laboratories, two Fancy Chakra Laboratories, and a Ritual Circle placed in a special walled off section near the center.
