Court of Thorns and Roses

Summary spoilers for the whole series

A faerie kingdom on an island west of Prythian, ruled by a single king rather than High Lords. It sided with the slave-keeping loyalists in the old War, killed its human slaves instead of freeing them, and then sank into isolation and resentment. Its army leans on faebane. The king later seeks the Cauldron to break the Wall, and falls in the final battle.
