Location
The cottage is located outside the Mortal village, with a simple dirt road connecting it to the rest of the settlement.
Description
The Archeron cottage is a small, cramped home built of gray stone with faded faerie-warding marks. It contains two rooms, a bathroom, and a small garden. The only belonging that survived the family’s downfall is the carved ironwood bed. It came from their former estate. All three sisters were born in this bed, and it is also where their mother died.
Relevance
After losing their fortune, the Archeron family lived in the cottage in a poor village two days from the Wall. Feyre, Nesta, and Elain shared the only bed in the main room, and hot water for bathing had to be boiled manually. The cottage became the site where Tamlin arrived to claim Feyre under the Treaty after she killed the fae Andras in wolf form. When Feyre was taken to the Spring Court, Tamlin placed a glamour on the family, making them believe she had gone to care for a dying aunt and that their financial situation had improved; Nesta was the only one unaffected by the glamour. Later, when Tamlin sent Feyre home for safety, she returned to find that her family had moved from the cottage into a large estate near the village, with no memory of their earlier poverty.
In A Court of Silver Flames, the cottage remained physically untouched by the war, though time and harsh winters had damaged it. Nesta visited the cottage again, acknowledging that it represented a part of her past that she wanted to leave behind.
Notable Locations
| Bedroom | The Archeron sisters shared a single bedroom in the cottage, furnished with an ironwood bed that survived their family’s downfall. All three sisters were born in this bed, and it was the only piece of furniture brought from their former estate. The room also contained a wooden dresser that Feyre painted with scenes of flowers, stars, and the night sky, making it one of the few personalized items in the cottage. |
