This is The Witcher map<\/strong> I illustrated: the map of Geralt of Rivia\u2019s world, the Continent of Andrzej Sapkowski\u2019s fantasy saga, which I created for the Spanish editions of Andrzej Sapkowski\u2019s saga, published by Alamut Ediciones<\/strong>, including the collector\u2019s edition of The Last Wish<\/em>. The books have been on sale for a while, but here it is, together with its updated version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What The Witcher map shows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Witcher map covers the Continent where Geralt\u2019s story unfolds: the Northern Kingdoms of Redania, Temeria, Kaedwen, Aedirn, Lyria and Rivia<\/strong>, the forest of Brokilon<\/strong>, Cintra<\/strong>, Sodden<\/strong> and Verden<\/strong>, the islands of Skellige<\/strong> to the west and the Empire of Nilfgaard<\/strong> in the south. It includes a scale in miles and a compass rose with a wolf\u2019s head, a nod to Geralt\u2019s School of the Wolf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I drew it in black and white, with a line style inspired by old engravings, so that it would print cleanly on the pages of the book and feel like a document that belongs to that world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About the Witcher saga<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Geralt of Rivia is a witcher, a superhuman mutant who makes his living hunting monsters in a land of magic and wonder. He carries two swords on his back: one of steel for men and one of silver for beasts. Geralt deals with strigas, manticores, griffins, vampires and chimeras, but only when they threaten the peace. Ironic, cynical and always on the road, he travels from village to village offering his services, and more often than not finds that the real monsters hide behind human faces.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the novels needed a map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sapkowski\u2019s saga moves constantly between kingdoms, rivers, mountain ranges and borders at war. For many readers, a good map is what makes it possible to follow Geralt and Ciri\u2019s journeys and to understand the politics between the Northern Kingdoms and Nilfgaard. That is the job of a book map: to help the reader find their way without ever getting in the way of the story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Updated version of the Witcher map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Update:<\/strong> I have made a newer version of the Geralt of Rivia map illustration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The saga has enjoyed a new wave of popularity thanks to the TV adaptation starring Henry Cavill<\/a> as Geralt. I\u2019m a big fan of the books, and I can assure you that diving into Geralt of Rivia\u2019s universe is well worth it. All the novels are magnificent, entertaining and magical.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
