How symbolic (...) 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. | |||

Hagge is a castle in the northern kingdom of Aedirn, located near the north-eastern borders with Temeria and Kaedwen, at the mouth of the Pontar Valley.[1]
History[]
Virfuril's reign[]
Around 1228, King Virfuril defended Aedirn at Hagge, against King Medell of Temeria's invading army, properly establishing the borders between the two kingdoms.[2]
Northern Wars[]
In 1267, the rulers of the Northern Kingdoms, Meve, Foltest, Vizimir II, Henselt and Demavend III met at Hagge, to discuss strategic decisions on the Nilfgaard offensive. They decided to wipe out the Scoia'tael and hunt down and kill Ciri, sending their spies on a continent wide search.[2]
By July, after the beginning of the second northern war and the occupation of Aedirn by Imperial troops, in which Hagge was the last major stronghold to fall, the Temerian army was sent to hold the castle due to Foltest's peace treaty with Emperor Emhyr var Emreis.[1]
At some point during the Northern Wars, a battle commenced at Hagge.[3]
Known residents[]
- Abelard of Hagge

Notes[]
- Hagge is mistakenly placed in Temeria in the world map for The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. However, on a map of the Pontar Valley it's placed in Aedirn, near Vergen.
