Ofir

Ofir  or Ofier is a rich and for Nordlings mysterious realm, described in books by Borch Three Jackdaws with another far lands, Zangwebar, Barsa and Hannu as being "across the seas" and having very different fauna, like white horses with black stripes.

It is not one state, but a kind of confederation, set of empires and kingdoms where many different ethnic and religious groups, nations and races live side by side in giant cities. For example, the city from where Dulla's apprentice comes would, according to him, make the City of Golden Towers seem dull in comparison.

Hearts of Stone Expansion
The main story of the expansion begins with Geralt finding a contract on a monster in Oxenfurt sewers. Olgierd von Everec posted it and told Geralt that the monster is in fact a giant toad. Legend says that it is actually a cursed prince, and that the curse can be lifted with a kiss from a woman. After Geralt killed the toad, it turned out that it was indeed a prince, an Ofieri one. Geralt was soon captured by Aamad, an Ofieri mage, and his men (Annar among them) for the murder of their prince. They swore to bring the prince back to his homeland, and since they failed, they decided to bring his murderer to justice. While transporting both Geralt and their guide via to face their king's justice, the witcher makes a pact with Gaunter O'Dimm, who causes a storm that shipwrecks the Ofieri. As the guide had drowned, the Ofieri cut off his head and began to drag Geralt by the legs. However, the witcher regained consciousness and fought his way to freedom.

A Ofieri merchant called Dulla kh'Amanni and his young apprentice are established near the village of Brunwich. When Geralt first meets them, he sees that they are very philosophically oriented and that they see the world and its creations as wonder. The merchant is actually a runewright, which is an unknown profession in the Northern Kingdoms.

Aside from new characters, the expansion also brings many types of Ofieri swords and armor to the game. Geralt can find a diagram for an Ofieri armor set that Dulla's apprentice was tasked to bring to a King of a Northern (most likely Radovid V or little chance for Tankred). After retrieving all of the diagrams, the apprentice will give Geralt a translated copy of the diagrams.
