The Spring Court is one of Prythian’s seven courts, known for its green landscapes and close proximity to the Wall. It becomes central to multiple conflicts in the ACOTAR series, including Amarantha’s curse, Tamlin’s alliance with Hybern, and the eventual collapse and invasion of the Court.

The Bog of Oorid is an unmapped, dangerous region of the Middle, once used as a sacred burial site for warriors. Over time, it became a place of darkness avoided by nearly all Fae. The bog later concealed the Mask of the Dread Trove and serves as a major setting in A Court of Silver Flames, where Nesta retrieves the Mask and defeats the kelpie.

The Weaver’s cottage is a small, isolated dwelling in the Middle. It serves as the prison of Stryga, one of the ancient beings once feared as an Old God. The cottage looks modest from the outside but holds shelves of collected objects, a spinning wheel, and the Weaver’s loom.

Adriata is the capital city of the Summer Court, built around a half-moon bay and centered on a mountain-island palace. The city features coastal architecture, an underground treasure chamber, and a tide-dependent temple that once held the Summer Court’s half of the Book of Breathings.
