Court of Nightmares

Location from A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

The dark half of the Night Court — a subterranean stronghold of cruelty and ambition that Rhysand rules through fear to protect Velaris.

Also known as: Court of Nightmares, the Nightmare Court

What They Know

• The theatrical performances of cruelty in the throne room follow a strict protocol — Rhysand's displays of power are carefully choreographed to maintain fear without provoking rebellion
• Darkbringer families maintain ancient bloodline magic independent of the High Lord's power — abilities passed through generations that even Rhysand cannot fully suppress
• The Court of Nightmares' spy network extends into every other court in Prythian — Keir's informants predate Azriel's shadow network by centuries
• Certain chambers in the Hewn City are warded against even Rhysand's daemati abilities — relics of an era when the Court of Nightmares was independent of any High Lord
