Alchemist grimoire
A desk can be found with research notes.


 * "The Apostates' research on death and cellular decay were far more advanced than what I've seen elsewhere...."
 * "They seem to endure better than the rest of the island."
 * "We shared knowledge, and they handed me some precious samples. There may be another way to endure the Malaise..."

Inside the same room, a cell vat can be found. The Beheaded will comment on it if inspected.


 * "This feels uncomfortably familiar..."

Boat
Behind a door there can be found a boat abandoned halfway through construction.


 * "Wooden boats. They wanted to flee."
 * "Why did some stay?"

Cell vat room
Behind a door, a giant room can be found with huge cell vats spread over three levels. Some are broken, some contain human remains, and some are filled with a mysterious liquid and a Cell. At the top level there is a desk on which a skull rests. In the background, plans can be seen that contain the symbol of the Beheaded. Upon inspecting the skull, the Beheaded says the following:


 * "Seems oddly familiar."

Bench with a letter
A letter can be found next to a bench overlooking the Lighthouse.


 * "The Apostates didn't fare any better than the rest of us."
 * "Moments of consciousness are becoming rarer and shorter... I won't make it to the Lighthouse."
 * "Maybe I'll find a decent place to rest down there"

A soldier's remains
In a room with a desk, there is a skeleton laying on said desk, next to some weapons and pieces of armor. A note next to the desk reads:


 * "The Apostates fled when they saw us approach... The King is right, they must be behind that sickness!"
 * "I'm staying here with a few of my men while the others are going back to the Castle, with all the Apostates' scrolls and books that we could gather."
 * "Maybe the Alchemist can find a remedy in there?"

Apostate torture room
In a room, three apostates can be found dead. One on a table of storts struck with arrows. Another on the floor:


 * "I hate those guys! And it seems someone else really did too..."
 * "I hope I never meet them!"

And lastly, one hanged by a chain in a broken vat:


 * "Whoever made that mess wasn't too fond of the experiments being done here."

The room it's can be assumed was used for experiments, what for is unknown. Additionally, the one who killed the Apostates is unknown. The Beheaded can interact with the door to said room. Doing so, he will comment something isn't right:


 * "Hey!"
 * "I didn't break that door!"
 * "Something's not right..."
 * "Something's not right..."
