The Kingdom of the Lakelands

Location from Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

Norta's enemy across the water — a Silver kingdom ruled by nymph royalty who flooded villages and married daughters to broken kings.

The Lakelands are Norta's rival Silver kingdom, ruled by the Cygnet dynasty of nymph water-controllers. The Nortan-Lakelander War lasted over a century before Maven brokered peace through his marriage to Iris Cygnet. The Lakelands' king drowned an entire village — Farley's home — to destroy the Scarlet Guard's presence. The kingdom represents a different flavor of Silver supremacy — aquatic rather than fiery, nymphs rather than burners, but the same fundamental injustice toward Reds.

Appearance

A northern kingdom defined by water — lakes, rivers, coastal territory. The Cygnet dynasty rules with nymph abilities, controlling the water that defines their geography. The landscape is colder, wetter, and more strategically defensible than Norta's.
