Velaris

The hidden city of starlight, the true heart of the Night Court's wealth and beauty, kept secret from all but its most trusted inhabitants.

Also known as: City of Starlight, the Jewel of the Night, the Hidden City

What They Know

Velaris has been hidden from the rest of Prythian for centuries by Rhysand's powerful wards, known only to those he trusts.
The city is home to the House of Wind, the personal residence of the Inner Circle, and the Rainbow, a quarter of artists and craftsmen.
Every year on Starfall, spirits streak across the sky over Velaris, a sacred celebration unique to the Night Court.
The Sidra River runs through the city, its waters clear and cold, with bridges that are works of art in themselves.
Velaris is the center of the Night Court's true economy—trade in art, books, fine goods, and knowledge—while the Hewn City serves as its brutal mask.
No enemy has ever found Velaris; its location is one of the most closely guarded secrets in Prythian.
