This pages groups together references in the published texts which refer to existing borders in the Witcher universe. An independent, fan-based project to correct published maps of the continent has been initiated; mainly because all the currently available maps contain at least some inaccuracies, and most are completely incorrect.
All entries should be supported by specific text references (in any language, as long as the page, work, edition, and language are specified) — some of the quotes on the Polish wiki need page references.
Temeria – Redania[]
- the Pontar river
Supporting quote(s):
Temeria – Aedirn[]
- Hagge castle lies on the border
- Aedirn is to the east of Temeria
Supporting quote(s):
Vizimir, Foltest, Demawend, Henselt and Meve, repeated the marshal. They met in a secret council in Hagge Castle on the Pontar. They conferred in privacy.
How symbolic, said the slender, black-haired man wearing an elk tunic marked with the imprints of armour and rust stains, without looking around. After all, it was at Hagge, not forty years ago, that Virfuril defeated Medell's armies, strengthened his control over the Pontar Valley and established today's borders between Aedirn and Temeria.

Temeria – Sodden[]
"We've forded the River Trava, now we're in the Groundcherry Forests. It's no longer Temeria, but Sodden."
- Yurga, pg. 514 Sword of Destiny (U.K. edition) (e-Book)
Geralt explained patiently that political geography was to blame for everything. The Old Road's western end lay in Brugge, the eastern end in Temeria and the centre in Sodden, so each kingdom destroyed its own section at its own discretion. In response, Zoltan obscenely stated where he'd happily shove all the kings and listed some imaginative indecencies he would commit regarding their politics, while Field Marshal Windbag added his own contribution to the subject of the kings' mothers.

Brugge – Verden[]
Supporting quote(s):
"He wants me to give him Brokilon, probably as far as the River Vda, which, I gather, he considers–or would like to consider–the natural border between Brugge and Verden. In exchange, I presume, he is offering me a small and untamed corner of the forest."
- Eithné, pg. 267, Sword of Destiny (U.K. edition)
"We will go South, by the bank. Where the Ribbon tapes toward the West, we'll go through the forests. I want to get to a place called Drieschot, or the Triangle. There, the borders of Verden, Brugge and Brokilon converge."
- Geralt, pg. 46, Baptism of Fire (U.S. edition)
Cintra – Verden[]
Supporting quote(s):
If they have truly learned anything, Henselt shrugged, they will not cross the Yaruga. The river estuary on the border between Cintra and Verden is still controlled by Ervyll and his three strongholds: Nastrog, Rozrog and Bodrog.
pg. 215, Blood of Elves (UK edition)
Brokilon – Verden[]
Supporting quote(s):

'What cowardly simpletons,' Dandelion sneered. 'I see you're afraid of the dryads. But Brokilon only begins on the far bank of the Ribbon. The river is the border. We haven't crossed it yet.'
- Dandelion (to his military escort from Brugge), pg. 179, Time of Contempt (U.K. edition)
Brokilon – Kerack[]
- Kerack is between Cidaris and Verden, so it should share a border with Brokilon
Supporting quote(s):
Over the course of various private wars and skirmishes, Osmyk had smoothed over border disputes and jurisdictional squabbles with his neighbours, Verden and Cidaris. It was established where Kerack began, where it finished and who ruled there.
pg. 15, Season of Storms (U.K. edition)
