Liurnia is the long, pale-blue province north of Limgrave: a flooded country of cattail marsh and ruined manors, lit at all hours by the cold light of the Carian moon. It was the realm of House Caria, whose sorceress-queen Rennala raised the academy of Raya Lucaria on a rock at the lake's centre. Before Marika's reign, Liurnia was wetter still, an inland sea, and its old gods were the ancestor spirits whose stags now wander the depths of Siofra, and the dragons of the great gulf around Greyoll's nesting peak.

Three Carian manors govern the province : Caria Manor proper, where Iji the giant smith still tends Ranni's relics; the Academy itself, whose books locked Rennala in eternal grief; and the Three Sisters, the moon-towers where Ranni's body sleeps in a wooden doll. The Lazuli Conspectus and the Cuckoo branch of the academy still prowl the streets of Raya Lucaria, but the school's true masters left long ago, and the province is now ruled by no living thing but the ghostly carriages of the Wandering Mausoleums.

Legendary sorcery devised by Azur, primeval sorcerer. Fires a tremendous comet in a torrent akin to the distant starry expanse, the place said to be the origin of glintstone. When Azur glimpsed into the primeval current, he saw darkness. He was left both bewitched and fearful of the abyss.
