Hewn City

Location from acotar-silver-flames by

The Hewn City is the dark, brutal seat of the Night Court's public face, a subterranean realm of carved obsidian and eternal twilight where cruelty is currency and fear is law.

Also known as: Court of Nightmares, The Hewn City, The Dark Seat, The Obsidian Throne

What They Know

• The Hewn City is the public capital of the Night Court, the face shown to the other courts to hide the existence of Velaris.
• Its inhabitants are the cruelest and most ambitious of the Night Court's High Fae, who rule through fear and bloodshed.
• The city is carved entirely from the living rock of the mountain, with no natural light reaching its deepest halls.
• The High Lord of Night holds court here in a throne room of black stone, where petitioners kneel on cold obsidian and the air hums with suppressed violence.
• Beneath the city lie ancient tunnels and forgotten chambers, some of which connect to the Prison and other dark places.
• The Hewn City has its own brutal justice: blood rubies are sent from here, and executions are public spectacles meant to remind all of the cost of defiance.
