Biography / History

The Tartera are renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, and many treasured heirlooms belonging to the High Lord’s household in the Night Court are Tartera-made. Their work includes several of Feyre’s ornate crowns and a pair of solid diamond cuffs noted for their intricate, enduring design.

A Court of Frost and Starlight

A Tartera artisan named Neve, residing in Velaris, sells several high-value jewelry pieces to Rhysand during the Winter Solstice season. These items are intended as gifts for Amren, reflecting the continued prestige and desirability of faeries craftsmanship.

Appearance

The Tartera resemble wraith-like beings, with tall, lean bodies cloaked in perpetual shadow. Only their glowing ember-like eyes are consistently visible, while the rest of their form shifts in and out of view. At times, the shadows part just enough to reveal glimpses of dark-skinned hands, feet, or shoulders, enhancing their spectral, elusive appearance.
