Battle Mages of Liurnia

"As long as the Battle Mage of Liurnia stands by, the enemy never knows where the next death will come from."
Their presence on the battlefield often changes the outcome of an entire battle, because for a battle mage, magic is not a subject of study, but a weapon honed by countless battles.

Battle Mages of Liurnia
The Battlemages of Liurnia are a special class of sorceresses who dedicate themselves not to the study of ancient mysteries, but to the application of magic directly on the battlefield. Unlike the academic sorceresses of the Paradise of Lucaria, who spend decades poring over books and research, Battlemages are trained from an early age to fight in harsh conditions, combining sorcery with the use of swords, spears, staves, and magical blades.
Most battlemages are women. Men are extremely rare among them, and they usually choose more peaceful branches of magic, becoming researchers or librarians. As a result, Liurnia's military units are almost entirely composed of experienced sorceresses.
Their armor is lighter than knightly plate, but significantly stronger than the typical attire of a mage. Every piece of equipment is enchanted to not interfere with spellcasting. Hidden beneath their wide cloaks are numerous talismans, crystals, and spare glintstone shards.
Combat mages rarely use brute force. Their style is based on constant movement, creating distance, and precise magical strikes. They can switch from an offensive spell to a defensive barrier in a matter of seconds or summon a magical weapon during a duel.
On the battlefield, they often become commanders of small units. Their discipline and ability to instantly assess the situation make them valuable officers even among the knights of Liurnia.
Despite their affiliation with the Academy, battle mages are significantly calmer than most scholars. They are accustomed to making quick decisions and are not afraid to risk their own lives to protect their allies.
Every experienced battle mage strives to develop her own style of enchantment. Therefore, two sorceresses rarely use the same spell combinations. Some specialize in ice magic, others perfect magical swords, and still others prefer glintstone spears, star spells, or powerful volleys of crystalline projectiles.
In the lands between them, even many knights are respected. There's a saying among warriors:

Residents
The people of Liournia are distinguished by their love of knowledge and constant desire to learn.

In many houses you can find books, maps, old manuscripts or magical tools.
Literacy is considered commonplace.
Everyday life
Boats and small ferries travel between the islands daily.

A person who strives to develop himself, regardless of origin or wealth, deserves respect.
New discoveries are considered a contribution to the future of the entire kingdom.
Holidays
Throughout the year, Liurnia celebrates many holidays related to the movement of the stars, the changing seasons, the harvest, and the history of the Academy.
During the festival, residents decorate boats with magical lights, read ancient legends, and perform magic shows, musical performances, and scientific demonstrations.
Legends
The inhabitants of Liournia believe that the lakes remember the past.
It is a common belief among magicians that water can preserve echoes of ancient spells and memories of bygone eras.
There are legends of hidden towers, sunken libraries, forgotten research and secrets still waiting to be discovered.

Military forces
The Liurnia army consists of several units, each with its own duties.
The Carian Knights protect the Queen, the most important fortresses and sacred places.
The Knights of the Cuckoo patrol the roads, escort caravans, guard settlements, and maintain order within the state.
Combat mages accompany military units, research expeditions, and special operations of the Academy.
Each unit has its own traditions, form of training and internal hierarchy.
Crystallites
Crystallites are an ancient form of silicon life.
Their origin remains a mystery even to the best scientists of the Academy.
Most Crystallites prefer to live in crystal caves and underground lakes, rarely interfering in the lives of people.
Researchers treat them with great respect and caution.
Albinos
Albinors are full-fledged residents of Liurnia.
Many live in separate communities, but travel freely throughout the state, engaging in crafts, trade, research, and service.
The attitude towards them depends solely on the individual, and not on the laws of the state.
Prohibited research
Some types of magic are prohibited.
Research related to the modification of the soul, the nature of life, and the artificial creation of beings is particularly strictly controlled.
Most of these archives are kept under the supervision of the Academy.
Only a few researchers have access to them.
Carian House
The Carian house is the oldest nobility of Liurnia.
He is the guardian of the kingdom's traditions, maintains contact between the Academy and the royal family, and is responsible for preserving the heritage of Caria.
Carian knights are known for their discipline, nobility, and loyalty to their oaths.

🌊 Code of Liurnia
General atmosphere
Liurnia is a kingdom of endless lakes, ancient towers, flooded roads, and magical lore. Water accompanies its inhabitants everywhere: boats navigate between the islands, a light mist almost always hangs over the lakes, and rain is considered a normal part of life. Even at night, Liurnia rarely plunges into complete darkness—glimmering stones, magical lanterns, and spells softly illuminate the streets, bridges, and towers.
People here are accustomed to a quiet life. Haste is considered a sign of inexperience, and patience a virtue. Most residents prefer to understand what's happening first and then make decisions.
State
Liurnia is ruled by Queen Renalla.
Under her rule are the Academy of Raya Lucaria, the Carian House, the military orders, settlements, islands and all the lands of Liurnia.
The state remains united. Despite differences in views between individual organizations, they continue to serve the same kingdom.
Raya Lucaria Academy
The Academy is considered a major center of learning and research.
Here they study magic, history, stars, alchemy, ancient ruins, the nature of shiny stones and many other sciences.
Each faculty member has their own approach to research. Academic debates are a normal part of life at the Academy and are rarely perceived as personal feuds.
Students spend years studying, gradually choosing their own direction of magic.
Magic
Magic is a part of everyday life.
The simplest spells are used to light homes, repair things, heal minor wounds, cook food, grow plants, and dozens of other everyday tasks.
Combat spells require extensive training and are used primarily by mages, knights, and specially trained warriors.
Using magic is considered as natural a skill as reading or writing.
