The Kestrel Mountains are a range which separates Kaedwen from Redania, Kovir and Poviss; they lie to the west of Kaedwen, also westward, but more north is another mountain range: the Dragon Mountains.
Several rivers run through the range as well, including the Buina, the Braa (which rises between the Kestrel and Dragon mountain ranges) and the Nimnar.
There are three major peaks in the northern part of the range:
- Chiava
- The Great Kestrel
- The Harbinger's Fang
The Lutonski road probably runs through the mountains connecting Redania and Kaedwen, at least when weather conditions permit.[1]
In the winter of 1271, Redania's forces crossed the Kestrel Mountains to unite Kaedwen under Redania.[2]
