Cintra
From Witcher Wiki
Cintra is one of the Northern Kingdoms, located south of Sodden, Riverdell and the great river Yaruga.
| This is Cintra. Is that right?
Yes. South of Transriver and Sodden. This way, here, flows the River Yaruga, flowing into the sea right at Cintra — page 269, Blood of Elves (UK edition)

Cintra was very powerful in the times of queen Calanthe, but was conquered by Nilfgaard during the First Nilfgaard War. After the Second Nilfgaard War, the kingdom is nominally an independent state, but is actually ruled by Emperor Emhyr var Emreis of Nilfgaard because of his marriage to Empress Cirilla.
Cintra's neighbours are Sodden, Brugge and the Nilfgaard province of Nazair. Before the Nilfgaard Wars, monarchs of Cintra were princes of Brugge, dukes of Sodden, heirs of Skellige, sovereigns of Attre and Abb Yarra.

[edit] Heraldry
The coat of arms of Cintra is described as three golden lions passants guardants on an azure field. From the reign of Coram II onward, the lions were crowned. The speculative provincial coat of arms is never actually described in the books. All three coats of arms were designed by our resident heraldry and Witcher expert Mboro.
