What They Know

• Velaris has been hidden from the rest of Prythian for centuries, protected by Rhysand's illusion magic and the deliberate cruelty of the Court of Nightmares, which serves as a decoy.
• The city was struck by Hybern's forces during the war, leaving scars that are still being mended — both in stone and in the hearts of its people.
• The Sidra River runs through the heart of Velaris, its waters clear and cold, and the city's life flows along its banks.
• The Palace of Thread and Jewels is the city's grand market, where merchants from across the Night Court trade in silks, gems, and rare artifacts.
• The House of Wind, Rhysand's private residence, perches on a cliff above the city, accessible only by flight or a long, brutal stairway.
• The Rainbow of Velaris is a district of artists and musicians, where color and sound spill from every window and the streets are paved with painted tiles.
