Court of Thorns and Roses

Summary spoilers for the whole series

The large neutral territory at the centre of Prythian, belonging to no court and dividing the northern Solar Courts from the southern Seasonal Courts. It holds the Sacred Mountain where Amarantha ruled as Under the Mountain, the Weaver's cottage and the Bog of Oorid. It was a meeting ground for High Lords and a dumping ground for dangerous Fae, and mapping it is forbidden.
