Location from Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Fjerda's most secure fortress — built in concentric circles of white marble and glass, guarded by drüskelle and wolves, and the target of the most audacious heist in the Grishaverse.
The Ice Court is the Six of Crows' primary challenge — the fortress Kaz's crew had to infiltrate to extract Bo Yul-Bayur. Its security includes cannons, checkpoints, color-coded protocols (Yellow/Red/Black), an ice moat, and the entire drüskelle corps. The sacred silver ash tree on the White Island conceals a spring and is the most holy site in Fjerda. The Hringkalla initiation brings drüskelle initiates across the ice moat via a hidden glass bridge to listen for Djel's voice. Matthias's knowledge of these secrets made the heist possible.
Concentric circles of white marble and glass in Djerholm. Three outer sectors: Prison (Grisha cells), Embassy (ice willows, fountain), Drüskelle (training, wolf kennels). Ice moat surrounds the White Island at the center. Royal Palace, treasury, sacred silver ash tree. Glass bridges — one visible (embassy), one hidden under ice (drüskelle).
