The Northern Kingdoms: an Imperial Map of the Lands of the Witcher
Welcome to the world of the Witcher!
This map of the northern kingdoms was done before the second Northern War, and portrays the beleaguered Northern Kingdoms struggle to hold of the repeated assaults of the “Black Ones”. The Nilfgaardians of the south are led by their ruthless emperor who will seemingly stop at nothing to take the north by force! Geralt the Witcher would rather play no part in these great affairs and walk the Path un-molested and yet he is a child of destiny, just as his ward Ciri is, and their fates are interwoven into the fabric of the world and its events.
This 32.5 x 22.5” map includes all the major locations of the books and games, as well as a inset map of the current empire of Nilfgaard. I imagine this map to have been commissioned for his Emperor Emhyr var Emreis and is general enough to serve as a great wall piece, or for your Witcher RPG campaign game.
I am a keen lover of the books (and the games) and this is a my spin on the world and its topography. Hand done in pen, ink, and gouache, then finished in photoshop.
