Adriata
Location from acotar-frost-and-starlight by
The sun-warm port city of the Summer Court, where pearl divers bring their treasures from the sea and trade flows as freely as the tide.
Also known as: The Pearl of the Summer Court, Adriata-by-the-Sea, The Sun-Drenched Port
What They Know
- Adriata's pearl divers are the finest in Prythian, diving to depths that would kill lesser fae to retrieve the black pearls and rose-tinted gems that adorn the courts.
- The city's harbor is neutral ground by ancient custom — no blood may be spilled on the docks, and even enemies may trade there without fear.
- The palace of Adriata is built from living coral and enchanted glass, grown over centuries by the will of the Summer Court's High Lords.
- Adriata's markets sell goods from all seven courts: Autumn's forged blades, Winter's frostfire gems, Dawn's healing elixirs, and the rare silks of the mortal lands.
- The city has never fallen to siege — its defenders can call the sea itself to drown an invading fleet, and the harbor is guarded by creatures older than the High Fae.
- Every Summer Solstice, the city hosts the Regatta of Suns, a week-long festival of boat races, feasting, and the choosing of the High Lord's personal guard.
