# Kheldr Institute
An Elarisian research organisation repeatedly named in the records concerning [[The Rose of Igoda/07 - Characters/07b - Non-Player Characters/Rose|Rose]] and the preserved Rose of Igoda. Researchers attempted to understand and reproduce Rose's effect on Dharan's plague growth.
During Session 7, [[The Rose of Igoda/07 - Characters/07b - Non-Player Characters/Boristov Sokah|Boristov Sokah]] was heard ordering that the **Kheldr Institute** be contacted regarding preservation. The recovered documents also refer repeatedly to the Institute's work with Rose, the preserved flower and **[[The Rose of Igoda/09 - Items, Artifacts & Documents/Eisglas|Eisglas]]**.
## Recovered Research Details
- The Institute was involved in repeated efforts to establish whether Rose’s ability was arcane. No recognised arcane mechanism was identified.
- Researchers took blood, saliva and other samples while attempting to duplicate or transfer her effect on the Dharan plague root.
- **No attempt to duplicate or transfer Rose’s ability succeeded.**
- The Institute was ordered to move a preserved Dharan Rose to Dekinsza once direct contact between the flower and Rose was authorised by the King.
