I'm obviously not at anything better than novice level, but I'm really interested in endgames and would like to know what I should learn about them. I know the basic checkmates, basic endgame fundamentals, and that stuff. I also have looked into Philidor Position, Lucena Position, Vacruna

I wouldn't go too crazy with endgames, more than R+K and realising that you need to use your king as soon as the endgame is going to start.
When I was 1000 I almost never won or lost by just one pawn, the differences were bigger due to several blunders from both parts.
