Location from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
The Continent's largest city — a teeming harbor metropolis of commerce, crime, and religious fanaticism where fortunes are made in the morning and heretics burn by evening.
Novigrad answers to no king, which means it answers to money. The Hierarch of the Eternal Fire provides spiritual authority, the crime bosses provide actual authority, and the merchant guilds pretend the difference matters. Half a million souls crowd its districts. Templars drag screaming herbalists to pyres while crowds watch. Novigrad is civilization at its most concentrated: brilliant, brutal, and utterly indifferent to individual suffering.
A sprawling port city of red-brick warehouses, timber-framed merchant houses, and soaring temple spires. Harbor cranes tower over a forest of ship masts. Narrow cobblestone streets twist between buildings.
Also known as: Novigrad, the Free City
