Withywoods

Location from The Realm of the Elderlings by Robin Hobb

Fitz's country estate — a quiet manor where he tried to build the simple life he always wanted, until the Servants burned it down around him.

Withywoods is the only place Fitz is ever truly at peace. The estate smells of beeswax and fresh bread, the fields are well-tended, and the household runs with the quiet competence that Molly brings to everything she touches. It represents everything Fitz fought for — a home, a family, a life away from assassination and politics. The Servant attack that shatters this peace is devastating precisely because of how safe it felt. Withywoods was the dream, and its destruction is the saga's most pointed statement about what happens to people who try to walk away from their destiny.

Appearance

A comfortable country estate surrounded by rolling farmland and orchards. The house itself is modest by noble standards — warm stone, generous windows, a kitchen garden, and bee hives. It is not a fortress; it was built for living, not defending, which becomes a fatal weakness.
