This lake is a small pocket of preserved land, only accessible in its true form by those in the know. It houses a few of its own secrets too. Many creatures come here who are no longer happy to roam where destructive hands can reach. These pockets still resemble what the orb would have looked like, thousands of years prior, when the great beasts still roamed, before the First Generation were even born.

Cray Academy is the only higher learning institution in the South. Most learning is done in the home, the community - or life in general. Basic skills, such as reading, writing and mathematics are usually taught in small learning groups within the taverns, often dubbed houses of learning. Skills including archery and sword mastery are taught by older warriors keen to share their knowledge (and show off).   Those children with a lot of potential, who are so inclined, can choose to enroll in the ten year programme  at Cray - the foundation course. It specialises in honing all of the skills. If a student chose to stay they stay on to become a mature student. There are five courses to undertake as a master - sorcery, alchemy, combat, science or music. Those who complete all five courses go on to become Masters of the Academy.  The academy was primarily formed to secretly keep the traditions of sorcery and alchemy alive after it was agreed to forgo the practices following the Defiance.  The warriors produced from are the academy are the most proficient the South has to offer (save those of legendary status).

A hidden secret in this hills.  Anyone can travel there, should they know how to get in. It's a cave system carved from millions of years of water on rock, carving and forging a story of its own. However, only those entrusted with the secrets of of the Hermetic can venture into the locked passages. These passages also hint towards forgotten secrets of the past.
