The Wall
Location from acotar-frost-and-starlight by
The invisible magical barrier that has divided the fae realms from the mortal lands for five centuries, a scar of the last great War that neither side has ever truly healed.
Also known as: The Wall, the Great Barrier, the Treaty Wall, the Veil, the Divide
What They Know
- The Wall was raised by the combined magic of the seven High Lords and the Cauldron itself after the last War, binding the fae to their lands and mortals to theirs.
- It is not a physical wall — it is a magical membrane that repels fae who try to cross into mortal lands, causing pain, sickness, and eventually death if they persist.
- Mortals can cross into Prythian with relative ease, though the crossing leaves a faint magical residue that some fae can sense.
- The Wall has weakened over the centuries, and during the recent war, Hybern's forces found ways to breach it — a fact that has terrified both sides.
- There are known crossing points, guarded by both fae and mortal sentries, where trade and travel are permitted under strict treaty terms.
- The Wall is said to be anchored to the Cauldron itself, and if the Cauldron were ever destroyed or unmade, the Wall would fall with it.
