Zerrikania
From Witcher Wiki
Zerrikania is a mysterious land located in the southeastern part of the Continent. The Northern Kingdoms have very little to do with that realm. Not a lot is known about Zerrikania: its climate is hot, exotic animals roam the land, and the inhabitants worship dragons. Zerrikania is famous for its tattooed warrior women, who are skilled in the use of sabers.

A more detailed description of Zerrikania and its history was created by Martyna Tomaszewska for the Wiedźmin: Gra Wyobraźni role-playing game and published in the "Magia i Miecz" magazine (published by Wydawnictwo MAG, the publisher of the game). According to the RPG, Zerrikania's name comes from the name of the legendary dragon Zerrikanterment.
[edit] In The Witcher computer game
Zerrikania isn't visited in the game, but it is acknowledged as the home for the formulae of bombs, and famous for its alchemists.
- "Zerrikania, home of the venomous basilisk, has given birth to other equally hideous creatures. Among them are spotted spiders so huge that they trap elephants in their webs and the no-less terrifying tse tse flies. The flies are especially replusive, laying their eggs in the human body, the resulting larvae maturing within the host's head. The victim's brain serves as sustenance and when the larvae turn into adult flies, they leave the body throught the eye sockets, now void of the previously devoured eyes."

[edit] Notes
The only Zerrikanian characters to appear in Andrzej Sapkowski's Witcher series are Tea and Vea from the "Granica możliwości" short story (in Miecz przeznaczenia short story collection). Aside from that, there were only a few mentions of Zerrikania in the books.
