Raya Lucaria is the great academy of glintstone sorcery, raised on a rock above the lake of Liurnia. It was founded by the Carian royal house, who married knowledge of the stars to the magic of moonlight, and ruled by Rennala, Queen of the Full Moon. After the Shattering, Rennala retreated to the library at the heart of the academy, cradling a lifeless egg, and the school's chambers became a tomb of glintstone sorcerers obsessed with their own books.

Hidden beneath the academy's marble halls is its first secret: the inscription Radagon is Marika, carved into a wall behind a sealed door. The academy houses the Lazuli Conspectus, heretics who came to see the moon as equal to the stars, and the Cuckoo branch, who once seized control of the institution by force. The Twin Moon and Lunar Princess Ranni were both daughters of this place; both renounced it.
