Pronounced Lie-car-ree-ka. A lively province known as Lycaurica in the country of Lenstruyna (Len-stroon-yah). Here is where Lenstruyna's capital, Pynelough (pine-low) is located. The people here mostly speak English, but languages also commonly spoken are Rybinovan (aka Russian) and Olbano.
Lycaurica is heavily tech-focused with an emphasis on magic-related technology, and most people here do some form of magic or learn it in school. Those who don't are forced to learn it, or in some cases, banished. Lycaurica is the inventor of artificial magic, and it's economy relies heavily on artificial magic being made in factories around the province. Lycaurica also has a unique environment with lots of different types of species and familiars and different events, such as the Eclipse Ball.
Pronounced Eh-bree-ya. A place that is essentially the inverted version of Valai, only able to be accessed with the Crystal Lake. People who don't practice magic are usually banished here, and Ebrya is often portrayed as the underworld in a way, although this world is nothing to be afraid of. It's sort of become a place of people who don't use magic and they've formed a community. Many have created theories about Ebrya, that it's Hell, that it's a secret moon, that it's a secret underground base, but officially it has been determined that Ebrya is another planet close to Valai. Ebrya is also a lot colder than Valai, to the point that those going there are recommended to wear a lot of layers or have some sort of magical protection.
The Crystal Mirrors are large crystal-like formations found in certain bodies of water. They have been turned into giant mirrors and are now used as portals, especially to Ebrya. These mirrors are located in a building called The Mirror Travel Foundation, found in Freyavalley. The material itself seems to work in an opposite way that oobleck does, usually being hard and glass-like when sitting in water, but when you try to put your hand through it it'll turn water-like, forming a portal to wherever you want to go. It is also highly reflective, both literally reflective like a mirror and reflective of the mind and will of the person using it. This mind reflection is how the mirror travel actually works. The foundation and mirrors themselves are heavily guarded, however, and you couldn't actually legally wish to go to any place you wanted as many rules are in place to make sure people don't use the mirrors for malicious or harmful things. Also, don't throw belongings in the mirrors, they won't come back.

Illcare Pawspital is the only (official) hospital of Pynelough. As its name suggests, it's for taking care of the ill. This hospital is not very well supported though, so pretty often people don't receive full care. Despite the Illcare being pretty old looking, ambulances and doctor uniforms are usually modern.
The weather in Lenstruyna is on the colder side, even on hotter seasons.
There is a popular tavern-and-restaurant known as "The Sleepy Squirrel Inn." The reason for this is that it is owned by a squirrel and there are some squirrel bartenders.
There is a popular fast food restaurant in Lycaurica known as Jim Torhons. There are actually multiple popular restaurants, some of the most popular are of course Jim Torhons, Sillyland, and Tit Lovers (Like the Birds).
There's a popular café in Pynelough known as "Deshida Jaitana Meso'ru" - "Little coffee corner" in Olbano.
No one truly knows where the Crystal Lake came from, but it's said by Freyists that Freya created it so people could grant wishes for anything they wanted, and to go to Ebrya.
Olbano culture is pretty present throughout Lenstruyna and especially Lycaurica. Olbano people are also called Olbans. A majority of Olbans believe in Freyism, a religion surrounding the god Freya, but not all of them have to.
