House of Wind

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

A fortress perched atop the cliffs above Velaris — accessible only by flight or ten thousand steps, serving as the Inner Circle's war room and Nesta's reluctant refuge.

Also known as: the House of Wind

What They Know

• The semi-sentient building responds to strong emotions and direct requests — it can lock doors, light fires, produce food, and rearrange its interior
• The ten thousand steps are warded against winnowing — the only ways to reach the summit are flight or the brutal climb, making it nearly impregnable
• The library below contains texts on the lowest levels that are sealed with ancient magic and have never been catalogued — some may contain knowledge of the Dread Trove
• The training ring on the roof was where the Valkyries were forged — its wards prevent accidental death during sparring but allow real injury
