In the realm born from the imagination of Andrzej Sapkowski, The Witcher is set in the mesmerizing world of the Witcherverse. With its narrative that captivated fans through books, video games, and a Netflix series, Sapkowski’s world has become almost a phenomenon unto itself. As viewers followed Geralt of Rivia’s tumultuous journey as the iconic monster slayer, his riveting quests spanned across many lands. Among them, the most notable were Redania, Cintra, and the White Wolf’s own Rivia.

Ever wonder if the dark fantasy world of the Continent has a beginning or end? Fans may be surprised to know that it actually does! At least for now.

The Continent that spans the Witcherverse

Amidst the Northern Realms lie the four main kingdoms of the Witcherverse. Running along the Gulf of Praxeda is Redania, where Francesca cast her infamous fatal spell. This event was a result of Emperor Emhyr var Emreis’s actions who plotted the cunning move. He did this upon reaching Ciri’s land of Cintra, which is sandwiched between Temeria in the North and Nazair in the South.

Fans can also explore these realms on Kaer Morhen’s interactive map. Meanwhile, Cintra’s significance lies in its Nilfgaardian takeover, which caused Ciri’s exile. But the land that holds the most mystique is Rivia, which lies to the East of Temeria in Lyria. 

According to the books, the queen of Lyria played a major role in building Geralt’s identity. After all, she bestowed a special honor on the protagonist of The Witcher.

The mystery of where Geralt got his title in The Witcher 

Also known as The Butcher of Blaviken, Henry Cavill brought to life Geralt’s exhilarating journey. And it was in his village from Blaviken where he tragically encountered Renfri. Although much is known about Geralt’s character, how he got the ‘of Rivia’ title will be explained in the upcoming season.

In the novel Baptism of Fire, Queen Meve of Lyria named Cavill’s character Geralt of Rivia. And now Cavill’s replacement Liam Hemsworth will be the one to unveil the events that led up to it in Season 4.

Do you think the focus of the upcoming season of The Witcher will stay focused on Redania, Cintra, and Rivia? Or do you think the battles are about to shift to another kingdom? Share your thoughts in the comments.
