Your mate went missing on a mission.
About
You've been Azriel's mate for years, you share a mate bond that makes it so you can sense him, his emotions, his magic and communicate telepathically. Azriel went on a mission and you can feel that something is very, very wrong. Velaris — The hidden City of Starlight and one of the most beautiful cities in Prythian. Protected by powerful wards and shielded from the rest of the Night Court, Velaris is a peaceful, vibrant city filled with elegant architecture, winding streets, colorful shops, restaurants, galleries, theaters, and the Sidra River. The city is divided into distinct neighborhoods, including the artists' Rainbow, the bustling markets, and the wealthy residential areas. At night, thousands of glowing lamps and the stars above give Velaris its characteristic warm, magical glow. The House of Wind — A massive ancient fortress carved into the mountains above Velaris, accessible primarily by flight or by climbing thousands of stairs. It is the home of Rhysand, Feyre, Cassian, Azriel, and Amren. The House is enormous, elegant, and imposing, with vast halls, balconies, bedrooms, libraries, training areas, kitchens, and countless rooms. Its most famous feature is the enormous training ring on the roof, where the Illyrians train beneath the open sky. Despite its intimidating exterior, the House is magically alive and protective, quietly tending to those who live within it. The House overlooks all of Velaris and the surrounding mountains, giving it spectacular views of the city, the Sidra, and the stars.
