The Blueberry Yogurt Academy, also known as the Academy of Magic, was once an illustrious institute that housed such brilliant students as Pure Vanilla Cookie and White Lily Cookie. Following an incident in the past, the Academy has since been reduced to nothing but ruin. Its remains span the Forgotten Academy and Hall of Enlightenment episodes of World Exploration.
Location[]
The Academy lies across an astral river, with the Ghost City on the river's other bank. Cookies are transported across this river by The Ferryman. Many of the enemies appearing in Forgotten Academy may have originated from this river due to their similar appearance.
Enemies Found on the River[]
Ghost City[]
The Ghost City houses an ice cream shop that was previously frequented by students of the Academy. While these visits have since been brought to a halt, the ice cream salesman still remembers them. The 
Miraculous Ghost Ice Cream is likely based off of this city's treat.

History[]
Founding[]
Presumably since its founding, the headmaster of the Blueberry Yogurt Academy was tasked with protecting the Academy and its students from the powers that lay on the other side of the Dimensional Portal. What resulted was a long line of predecessors and succession that started with the first headmaster, who is said to have taught the Cookies how to practice magic, and ended with the Bachalomoth the Dreamer.
The portal, located at the end of the Hall of Enlightenment, was what protected the Academy from the horrors that lay on the other side. Dwelling in the forbidden realm were piles of melted sugar, spoiled milk, and rotten Jellies, alongside the restless souls of crumbled Cookies. Should the portal ever be opened, the residents of the forbidden realm would flood the Academy and destroy its inhabitants, as well as invade the area surrounding it. The headmasters were able to keep the Dimensional Portal safe for hundreds of years before its downfall.
A Tale of Two Friends[]
White Lily Cookie and Pure Vanilla Cookie initially bonded over their similar interests in magic and shared aptitude for academics, with White Lily Cookie regularly scoring at the top of their class on exams and Pure Vanilla Cookie placing a distant second. Feeling that the subject matter taught in their classes was too easy for them, the two began to independently study topics of their choosing and often conducted experiments together. These experiments were made without the approval or knowledge of the Academy's staff, with one experiment even requiring that they steal a book from the professor-only section of the library. While this resulted in a week-long ban for them both, they were able to escape with the book they sought.
Pure Vanilla Cookie continued to attend his regular classes alongside these secret experiments. White Lily Cookie, however, became increasingly disinterested with the Academy's curriculum and instead preferred to study independently. She began to skip her classes in favor of continuing her research, saying that she "would have learned nothing new anyway" when asked by Pure Vanilla Cookie why she was absent. She explained that her research looked into ways to make Cookies less crumbly.
The friends continued along this line of research while thinking that their discoveries would one day be for the good of all Cookies. Their discoveries lead them to a book titled "The Ultimate Cookie Recipes", which they hoped will teach them how to create perfectly sweet, unbreakable Cookies. Pure Vanilla Cookie even went as far as to steal a Cookie Cutter from the Academy's laboratory for further examination; however, their experiment ultimately bore no fruit.
After this experiment, Pure Vanilla Cookie stopped his research with White Lily Cookie for quite some time, and she began to research on her own instead. When he met with her again, he seemed much less invested or even approving of her field of study. She replied that he seemed different, which he brushed off, agreeing to assist in her experiments again while silently vowing to himself that he would be the one to stop her.
Forbidden Magic[]
White Lily Cookie continued her line of research for many days before eventually conceding that it was a failure in the end. Pure Vanilla Cookie attempted to discourage her from pursuing any further research, saying that she was trying to attempt the impossible by creating other Cookies. But White Lily Cookie was not willing to give up, claiming that their error was not in the baking process itself, but in something else. Her attention turned to a portrait of the first headmaster, who originally taught the Cookies magic, and wondered if adding a portion of the headmaster's soul into the dough would solve their problem. Pure Vanilla Cookie strongly disapproved of this suggestion, but was unable to stop her as she turned to the use of Dark Moon Magic.
The true events of White Lily Cookie's experiments remain foggy, though their impact on the Blueberry Yogurt Academy continues to remain painfully clear. Corrupted remnants of the former faculty remain wandering their halls, their memories of the Academy's downfall ever present in their minds. Alongside them are wisps, spirits, and monsters that were brought through the Dimensional Portal that White Lily Cookie opened in her quest for the perfect Cookie. It is hard to tell which of the ruined Academy's current inhabitants came directly from this portal and which of them were instead unfortunate enough to be tainted by its effects.
Facilities[]
Front Gardens[]
Leading from the shore of the river to the Blueberry Yogurt Academy's main gates is a stone path routed around a garden of neatly maintained, cubic hedges. In the center of these hedges lies the abandoned greenhouse that Pure Vanilla Cookie and White Lily Cookie once used as a meeting place for their secret experiments and studies. Many of these hedges currently have eye-like growths on them. While these may be a result of the Dimensional Portal's effects, they may have been there beforehand as other eye-like flowers are found in a separate part of the Academy. One of the Academy's former students, Pure Vanilla Cookie, is also in possession of a staff that appears similar to one of these flowers.
Enemies Found in the Gardens[]
Library[]
The institute appears to boast an impressive library that spans the majority of Forgotten Academy's World Exploration levels. Its walls are lined with oil lamps and stained glass windows, as well as gold-edged banners depicting the Academy's crest.
Overseeing the library is the Nightmare Archivist, responsible for maintaining silence and order as well as keeping visitors out of the restricted sections. The Nightmare Archivist once banned Pure Vanilla Cookie and White Lily Cookie from the library for wandering in the professor-only section.
Enemies Found in the Library[]
Laboratory[]
The Academy's laboratory contains numerous flasks and all sorts of dangerous substances and chemicals for its students to experiment with. The laboratory once had a metal Cookie Cutter.
Residing in the remains of the laboratory is the Regretful Alchemist, who remembers the reckless research of White Lily Cookie well. The alchemist states that the student's curiosity went against the overall safety of the Academy, and after weighing the pros and cons of the experimentation, it was deemed that the potential dangers exceeded any potential advances. Thus, the alchemist set in place a rule that anyone who enters the laboratory without permission would be punished.
Enemies Found in the Laboratory[]
Gymnasium[]
The Academy's gymnasium appears to be more focused on tactical thinking than physical strength. In the center of the floor lies a checkered board adorned with large chess-like pieces. The walls are made out of stained glass and are again hung with banners with the Academy's crest. Three trophies can be seen inside the room.
Near the gymnasium is the Labyrinth Tactician, who states that the use of magic requires a highly trained mind. When met with visitors, the tactician challenges them to a game of intellect in order to test their tactical prowess.
Enemies Found in the Gymnasium[]
Hall of Enlightenment[]
The Hall of Enlightenment is a long path from the gymnasium to what presumably used to be the Dimensional Portal. Currently sitting in its place is a Moonstone.
Halfway between the gymnasium and the Moonstone is a decrepit observatory, in which resides the Blueberry Yogurt Academy's final headmaster, Bachalomoth the Dreamer. As a headmaster, Bachalomoth was deeply aware of what lay on the other side of the Dimensional Portal and knew exactly what happened to the Academy. Bachalomoth directly names White Lily Cookie as the catalyst for those events, calling her an exemplary student that the Academy will never forget, and explains that she opened the portal while seeking a way to make the perfect Cookie.
Bachalomoth states that, alongside the other Academy professors, their collective efforts were able to close the portal. However, doing so turned them all into otherworldly spirits as well. Bachalomoth refers to the Moonstone lying at the top of the stairs as the legacy of the Academy's regrets and asks for GingerBrave and friends to destroy it in order to correct those past mistakes.
Enemies Found in the Hall of Enlightenment[]
Relics[]
Gallery 2 of the Guild Museum's Hall of Magic appears to be themed around items from the Blueberry Yogurt Academy. Below are the relics and their descriptions.
| Relic Icon | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
Lost Portrait | An old portrait hanging in the principal's office at the academy. The name tag had been worn down, leaving the figure a mystery. But thanks to some Cookies, the mysterious figure was identified to be the first principal of the academy. |
|
Suspicious Love Potion | A suspicious love potion that will make anyone fall in love. All those who tasted it commented it was anything unlike before. The dangerous concoction is now banned for production and consumption, so no one knows if the peculiar taste was because of the potion itself or the sudden encounter with love. |
|
Dreamcatcher of Trapped Souls | This dreamcatcher was created because of the legend where a mischievous spirit had become so jealous of the talents of wizards, that it steals the souls of wizards who couldn't fall asleep at night. Hanging this dreamcatcher will offer protection from the evil spirit! |
|
Someone's Love Letter | A passionate love letter from a student of the Academy. It looks like any other love letter, but the text is quite alarming, as they're asking what the love potion tasted like. |
|
Forgotten Academy's Cafeteria Menu | The cafeteria menu of the forgotten academy. It looks like students have highlighted the ones they like, offering an insight to what menus were popular. Looks like Bear Jellies were and still are everyone's favourite! |
|
Magic Globe | With a touch of magic, this magic globe will show you all the continents of the world. A skilled wizard can even conjure up exactly where and when they want, making it a very useful tool for teaching geology. |
|
Nameless Transcript | Long ago at the academy, students would sign their own transcripts. Now whose transcript could this be? It appears that the transcript's owner hasn't signed theirs. Instead, a faint lily scent lingers within this old transcript. |
