Behold: I made bossfight music! The name is a latinized variant of the Cortiona Kauthasi language, translating to "Place of Inhumanity". There is a massive structure in Cortiona that's named that, and not even the Runah Empire wants to touch it because of all the crazy things that happen in it. It's basically a laboratory that runs itself, and anyone who goes in would be turned into all sorts of creatures and embedded with a constant need to do science. If you thought Wheatley from Portal 2, towards the end, was crazy about an "itch" to "test", that's nothing compared to the mental suffering that subjects had to endure whenever they're not doing science. A vuliux (Cortiona's version of a fox, essentially) was dragged out of Agragi Thuorixe by an explorer, which then started to look like it was in pain. Once it got hold of parchment, it cut itself on a sharp rock and then after a while the explorer knew that a human mind was trapped within this non-human body. By the request of the "vuliux", the explorer gave it a painless death. From then on, the disappearances of many who ventured into that somewhat abandoned lab had an explanation. Shortly after, though, the explorer too had succumbed to whatever it was that turns people into science-itchy mutants. The Runah Empire, despite all the stuff they have, don't wanna go anywhere close to it because they have no idea what's in there and are certain they'd rather keep it a secret, to the point where they'll go after anyone they catch venturing too close. It's hard to get to the lab now that spacetime weather (yes, Cortiona is weird, and very much possibly truly random) had mostly blocked it off from the rest of Cortiona's overworld. You'll have to go through a series of "pockets" to get to it. Probably for the best that it's blocked off. Oh, and two times in recorded Cortiona history, some pretty demonic-ish stuff did escape from the lab, which are now nothing more than inanimate objects that are circulating through many economies.
