	A vassal duchy of Nilfgaard, widely considered a beautiful, fable-like land where everyone is eternally tipsy.
- Game map description

Toussaint is a small duchy under the banner of the Empire of Nilfgaard, famous for its wines, enabled by the region's volcanic soil and ideal combination of sunny and rainy days. This mountainous place is ruled by Anna Henrietta. Toussaint does not maintain a large standing army of its own, instead relying on a few regiments of knights-errant, watching the borders and roads in conjunction with Ducal Guard.

Tradition is a holy thing in Toussaint. Holidays, the most important of them being Wine Vat, are keenly observed.

Despite being a vassal state of Nilfgaard, Toussaint maintains high level of autonomy and the Nilfgaardian Empire does not tend to impose imperial authority on its internal affair or violate its borders for the most part.

Coats of arms

The coat of arms for Toussaint is not actually described in the novels. The current coat of arms was designed by our resident heraldry and Witcher expert Mboro and was considered unofficial until it was used in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as part of Ciri's tree. The second was inspired by the Czech concept (the drawing) and redesigned by Juraj103.

Flag

The flag of Toussaint by SMiki55 is based on the icon of the Duchy present on the in-game map in the Blood and Wine expansion.

• Beauclair's architecture is based on the mannerist architecture of Zamość, Poland.
• The culture is based on the mediterranean regions in Italy, Spain, and southern France.
