Temeria
From Witcher Wiki
The kingdom of Temeria lies south of the river Pontar. Its neighbours are Redania, Kerrack, Kaedwen, Aedirn, Mahakam, Lower Sodden, Brokilon Forest and Cidaris. One of the fiefdoms of Temeria is the dukedom of Ellander and the magical Thanedd Island, with a school for young female adepts of magic is located off the shore of the kingdom. Temeria is the strongest (next to Kaedwen) of the Northern Kingdoms and played a key role in the war against Nilfgaard. Temeria is ruled by King Foltest and its capital is Vizima.

[edit] In The Witcher computer game
The Prologue is set at Kaer Morhen (which is in Kaedwen, not Temeria), and then the following chapters are all set in or around Vizima. You are not free to travel Temeria as you wish, the available locations changing with each Act. There is no way to travel large distances to reach other familiar locations in the game world.
Nevertheless, there is a world map in the game, and examining it gives us a sneak peek at locations that might come into play in the future.
[edit] Map
 World map |
At the top of the map is Vizima, with the Outskirts of Vizima south-east of it, Old Vizima to the south-west and below it the Swamp Cemetery and the Swamp. The Lakeside is just south of the Black Tern Island almost in the south-west corner of the Lake Vizima.
At the bottom left of the map you can see a cutout which depicts the Northern Kingdoms. Presumably this means that other kingdoms may be visited in a possible sequel.
[edit] Journal Entry

"Temeria's population is not exclusively human. It also includes dwarves, elves, gnomes and dryads. After the devastating war with Nilfgaard, many areas are haunted by monsters, which have hitherto not constituted a serious threat, while the realm's roads are made unsafe by outlaws and common bandits. As a result, the witcher profession is once again in demand, though people continue to treat witchers with caution and disdain, often calling them mutants and freaks. The Kingdom of Temeria has silver lilies on a black background as its emblem. This powerful country has gained ever more influence in recent years under the wise rule of King Foltest. Across the Pontar River, the kingdom borders Redania. To the south and east it is hemmed in by mountain ranges, including Mahakam, the mainstay of dwarves and gnomes, past which lie the lands of Lyria and Aedrin. The capital of Temeria is Vizima, lying on the shore of Lake Vizima. The second largest city is Maribor. Temeria mints its own coin - the oren. The most widespread religions are the Cult of Melitele and the belief in the Eternal Fire. Temeria is home to the headquarters and many commanderies of the Order of the Flaming Rose." |
