Location from The Witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski
A small, once-peaceful village near the Temerian-Nilfgaardian border — its apple orchards now trampled by marching armies.
White Orchard is the kind of place where nothing happens, until everything does. The village sits at a border that became a front line when Nilfgaard's armies rolled north, and the scars of that passage haven't healed — burned farmsteads stand alongside intact ones, and the tavern keeper serves both Nilfgaardian soldiers and Temerian loyalists with the careful neutrality of a man who wants to survive the month. The orchards still bloom white in spring, their petals drifting through air that smells of turned earth and hay, a pastoral beauty that feels almost offensive given the mass graves outside town. Nature doesn't care about politics, and White Orchard's blossoms are a gentle rebuke to the men who marched armies through apple trees. Griffin attacks from the nearby cliffs keep the villagers nervous and gave Geralt his first contract in the area.
A cluster of thatched-roof cottages around a crossroads, surrounded by orchards of white-blossoming apple trees.
