Undvik

Undvik is one of the larger islands in the Skellige archipelago. It is described as lying east of the main islands of Ard Skellig and An Skellig.

History[]

The following is considered game canon only and may contradict Andrzej Sapkowski's works.

In 1272, the population of Undvik was forced to abandon the island after the ice giant Myrhyff appeared. Hjalmar an Craite led an expedition to kill it, joined by fellow clan members.

If Geralt went to help Hjalmar: Geralt's actions influenced the events that took place on this expedition. The ice giant was slain and the isle of Undvik free from it's rule.

Later, during their Skellige campaign, the Nilfgaardian Empire laid their fleet off the coast of Undvik and later made an encampment on the shore to assist Ciri against the Wild Hunt.

Trivia[]

In Swedish, "undvik" means "avoid".
It may also be taken from Rundvik, Sweden.

Notes[]

In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt it is located to the western side of Skellige, probably to make the map more square.
