Rowan is a duchy in the Nilfgaardian Empire known for the cultivation of mandrake. Its capital is Darn Rowan.[1]
History[]
The duchy was one of the earliest realms conquered by Nilfgaard, even before it formed an Empire.[2] By the second half of the 13th century, it had become completely Nilfgaardized.[3]
In July 1267, the duchy was awarded to Cirilla Fiona by Emperor Emhyr var Emreis as a supplement of their engagement.[1]
Geography and Climate[]
It lies far from the Imperial capital, likely in the vicinity of Ymlac and Vicovaro.[1] Known regions are hilly, cut by a river and forested with evergreen yews. Despite being located in the southern part of the Continent, during winter it often snows.[4]
