Location from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
An abandoned Skellige island claimed by an ice giant — its clan fled, leaving a frozen wasteland where only the desperate venture.
Undvik was once home to Clan Tordarroch, Skellige's finest shipbuilders, their longships the pride of every raiding fleet that terrorized the Continent's coastline. Then the ice giant came. Now Undvik is a ghost island — abandoned shipyards stand frozen in mid-construction, tools still hanging on workshop walls, meals rotted on tables where families fled mid-bite. The silence is wrong, oppressive, broken only by the creak of ice and the distant grinding of the giant's movements through the ruins. Snow blankets everything year-round, the cold sharper and more malicious than natural Skellige winters, as if the giant's presence has wounded the climate itself. Hjalmar an Craite's expedition to slay the giant is equal parts heroism and political calculation — reclaiming Undvik would cement his claim to the Skellige throne, assuming he survives what drove an entire clan to flee.
Snow and ice coat an island of steep fjords and pine forests. Abandoned longhouses stand with doors frozen open. A massive ship skeleton lies half-built on the shore.
