Adriata

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.
