An Epic named [[Wingflare]] keeps it in the air, and an Epic named [[Cloudbreaker]] controls the weather in Lux, keeping it warm and livable despite the high altitude. A fourth Epic, [[Languish]], has the power to negate other Epics abilities, effectively keeping the city safe from other Epics.{{book ref|lux|15}} Its last known location is over Sweetwater, Texas.{{bws ref|cover-reveal-for-lux-a-texas-reckoners-novel|Cover Reveal for Lux: A Texas Reckoners Novel|date=2021-06-24}} |

The Ravens operate out of a system of tunnels underneath the city, near the power grid. They get their assignments from the Raven command center there. The tunnels also go all the way to the bottom of the city, providing a series of holes in the bottom. During raids, [[Wingflare]] flies the Ravens out of these openings to attack.{{book ref|lux|2}}{{book ref|lux|21}} |
