Hybern

Location from acotar-frost-and-starlight by

The ancient kingdom across the sea, ruled by a king who dreams of conquest and the destruction of the Wall.

Hybern is the old enemy, the kingdom that never signed the Treaty and never forgot the taste of mortal blood. Its people are hard, war-bred, and loyal to a king who has spent five centuries sharpening his blade for the day he tears down the Wall and puts the human realms back under fae dominion.

Appearance

A cold, gray land of jagged cliffs and iron-bound shores, where the sea is always churning and the sky hangs low and heavy. Its fortresses are built of black stone and bone, and its cities reek of salt, smoke, and the clanking of chains.

Also known as: Hybern, the Kingdom Across the Sea, the Old Enemy, the Iron Kingdom
