Adriata

Summer Court's sun-warm port city and center of trade, where salt and silk and secrets flow through streets of white stone.

Also known as: The Pearl of the South, Summer's Gate, Adriata Harbor

What They Know

Adriata's harbor is the largest and busiest in Prythian, hosting ships from every court except the Night Court, which is still distrusted here.
The city's famous pearl markets are held every full moon, drawing merchants and nobles from across the isle.
Tarquin's palace sits on an island in the center of the main canal, accessible only by boat or by winnowing.
The water in Adriata is said to be blessed by the Mother herself — it never grows stagnant, and the fountains sing at dawn.
During the War with Hybern, Adriata became the staging ground for the Summer Court's fleet, and its quays still bear the scars of that mobilization.
The city has a hidden network of tidal caves beneath the palace, used for smuggling and secret meetings for centuries.
