Location from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
A storm-lashed archipelago of warrior clans and ancient druidic traditions — where honor is measured in battle-scars and the sea decides who lives and who drowns.
Skellige is older than the kingdoms of the Continent. Six great clans divide the islands, each with its own jarls, warriors, and feuds stretching back generations. The sea is everything — provider, highway, executioner. Druidic circles maintain the old faith. The waters between islands churn with creatures that make continental monsters seem tame. Death in battle earns a place in the afterlife. Death in bed earns pity.
Craggy islands rise from iron-grey seas, their cliffs battered by relentless surf. Settlements cluster in sheltered fjords — longhouses of dark timber and stone, smoke curling from turf roofs. Megalithic standing stones crown windswept hilltops.
