Entry settings
The Illyrians are a warrior race of faeries, living in the northern region of Illyria in the Night Court, considered by many to be violent and warmongering people. Illyrians usually form war-camps. While they are unparalleled warriors, with a culture rich in stories and traditions, they are brutal and backward, particularly in regard to how they treat their females, choosing to train only the males. They practice called Clipping, where they cripple the wings of females so they cannot fly, and keep them for breeding. Illyrians do not like outsiders, especially High Fae.

War-Camps are the social unit structure used by groups of Illyrians. Each was led by a war-lord, addressed as Lord, and contained Illyrian warriors along with their families and other non-combatants. Each war-camp functioned independently of the other, and were known to raid or feud among themselves. During times of war, war-camps would unite under the High Lord of the Night Court into the Illyrian Legion, which was considered the largest standing army in Prythian.

Clipping, sometimes called cutting, is a traditional practice performed by some Illyrians as a way of controlling their women. Until Rhysand became High Lord, it was standard in many war-camps for Illyrian women to be clipped once they had their first period. The female was pinned in place and her wings extended. The central tendons were then cut. Just an incision in the right place, left to improperly heal, can cripple an Illyrian forever. Though they retained the ability to move their wings, they are no longer able to fly.

A mating bond can reveal itself at different times depending on the couple. For some, it snaps into place right when the pair meet, but for others, it can be years before the bond is discovered.

Water runs throughout the city in little streams and rivers tapped from the heart of the mountain itself. The mountain-city is lit with silvery bobbing faelights. The Hewn City is ruled from a castle inside the mountain, which is the official seat of the High Lord of the Night Court.

The castle's council chambers was nearly as large as its throne room. It was carved from the same dark rock, pillars fashioned after those entangled beasts, having a high domed ceiling. It has a mammoth table of black glass that split the room in two, shaped a bit like a lightning bolt. Only High Fae live within, the members dress in finery. Guards are dressed in white and grey, the color of the mountain, so they can blend into it. The residents of the Hewn City are known for their heartlessness and cruelty.

Its inhabitants agree that Rhysand be their High Lord despite the fact that he is not fully High Fae being half Illyrian, whom their counterparts the inhabitants of the Court of Nightmares consider Lesser Faeries, it is for this reason that the inhabitants of said Court do not approve of him. The city remained hidden from Amarantha, thanks to Rhysand's fifty year sacrifice Under the Mountain. The walls of Velaris had not been breached in over five thousand years. Velaris is built like a crust atop rolling, steep hills. The hills are flanked by a broad, winding river the color of the deepest sapphire, the Sidra River, that snakes across the landscape into the sea. The Sidra River has ships with sails of varying shapes placed along it permanently, making it navigable. At the northern edge of Velaris, curved to where the river bent toward them and flowed into their shadows, tower, like eternal guardians of the city, a wall of flat-topped mountains of red stone. Their middle and larger peak has holes and windows built in the uppermost part of it, there is where the House of Wind, Rhysand's house for official business, can be found. To the north are different kinds of mountains that surround the city across the river, which are a range of sharp peaks comparable to fish teeth. The city's buildings are crafted out of white marble, warm sandstone, and the same red stone of the flat-topped mountains that can be found on the northern edge of the city. Many quarters of Velaris are full of townhouses with green copper roofs and white chimneys. In Velaris many shops can be found with delicate tables and chairs scattered outside their cheery fronts, restaurants and nightclubs. Velaris has four market squares called Palaces, two on the southern side of the Sidra River and two on the northern side. They are white-stoned squares flanked by Tehran pillars supporting the carved and painted buildings that watch over them, and provide a covered walkway beneath the shops built into the street level. What Velaris is most known for is the artists' quarter, called the Rainbow of Velaris, home of performing artists, like the musicians, the dancers, and the actors. It is a brightly painted pocket of the city, built atop one of the hills that flowed right to the river's edge. In the Rainbow of Velaris there are around a hundred galleries, supply stores, potters' compounds, sculpture gardens, and anything in between.

The Valkyries are a clan of female warriors from all species. They are better and braver fighters than the Illyrians. Valkyries are fearless and brilliant individual fighters. But their true strength lay in being a highly trained unit. They used their shields as weapons. One Valkyrie technique was "mind-stilling". They used it to calm their minds and emotions. Some of them did it three or four times a day. But basically, it is the act of sitting and quieting the mind. It requires constant practice. It involved deep breathing and becoming aware of one's body and then learning to let go. They trained their minds into a weapon as sharp as any blade. Being able to maintain their composure, to know how to reach that place of calm in the midst of battle, made them imperturbable opponents.

Their army made great use of faebane in battle, spreading it as a fine mist like chemical gas, tipping their arrows with faebane stones so they could pierce magical shields, and even shackling enemies with faebane to contain them. Hybern's army consisted of both a High Fae ground force and an aerial legion of faerie from the same species as the Attor.

The Children of the Blessed are a group of fanatical mortals that worship faeries, especially the High Fae. The Children of the Blessed worship the High Fae as gods. They believe faeries are kind and good, choosing to ignore the cruelty the Fae wrought upon humans when they ruled over them. Even with all of their worshiping towards the High Fae, the High Fae themselves see the Children of the Blessed as no more than naive and only used for entertainment. The group occasionally sends one of their members to cross the border into Prythian. They believe that if the member doesn't return, they have been accepted by the High Fae and are now living in luxury. In reality, the member is killed by the dangerous faeries living in Prythian. Those who do not believe in the goodness of High Fae and remember their cruelty, treat the Children of the Blessed with disdain and disgust. They frequently call them various insulting names and mock them. They are tolerated by the leaders of villages, who give them hours or days to operate throughout the village and preach their beliefs. They are seen as an annoyance. The acolytes wear silver bracelets and jewelry which they believe attracts the High Fae.

There are twelve High Priestesses in total who govern all the priestesses across Prythian, many of whom reside in the Dawn Court, Day Court, and Winter Court. The High Priestesses reign from their altars. They oversaw the ceremonies and rituals of the fae, recorded histories and legends, and served as advisors and confidants for their High lords and ladies on matters great and trivial. The priestesses get their magic from their ceremonies, and can be utterly lethal should they choose to be. The priestesses wear a shining silver circlet set with perfectly oval limpid blue Invoking Stone. Their robes, like those of other priests were billowing, artfully twisted and layered robes that are pale blue-gray in color. The robes are far from matronly hugging the curves of their body. There is also a panel of cloth atop their hood normally folded under their circlet that can be pulled over the brow and eyes for when they prayed, beseeched the Cauldron or even needed to think. It was typically worn folded back. Priestesses are allowed to dally, marry, and bear children as it would dishonor the Cauldron's gift of fertility to lock up their instincts. They have great power in the hierarchy within Prythian, and their children are typically powerful and as well-respected as any lord's child. They often choose to control males such as the High Lords through seduction and sex. When they pursue males, they are highly-ranked and possess sufficient power. High Priestess are entrenched so thoroughly that their spies are everywhere and their followers are near-fanatic with devotion.

Stryga, also known as the Weaver or Weaver of the Wood, is a chthonic immortal being of immense power from another dimension who lives in the very heart of Prythian in a cottage made from the bones, fat, and hair of those who dare to enter her domain and are discovered. She is the twin sister of the Bone Carver and has an older brother named Koschei and due to her powers they are known as the Old Gods by the Prythian Fae. Because her powers allow her to feed on life itself she is considered a Death-god. The Weaver has extremely white skin and long, inky-black hair. Her skin is parched and withered and she is blind, which makes her other senses very acute. Like her brother, the Bone Carver, Stryga appears to have the power of divination, but only for events that will happen in the immediate future. She also has an innate power to "see" or "hear on the wind" magically what is happening in the world at all times in the present. This gives her a vast amount of knowledge, which others seek to possess. However, her knowledge does them no good, as the price for obtaining it is their lives. Stryga's death-goddess abilities are magical in nature, and they allow her to literally harvest the life force of other entities, taking it into her own body, and use it to make herself stronger, younger, and more powerful. She literally eats life to subsist. Stryga also seems to have a telekinetic magic that can perform. Stryga maintains a treasure hoard within her cottage in the Middle.
