Overview
Temeria, the crown jewel of the Northern Realms in the Witcher universe, is a vital bulwark against the monstrous threats of wildlings and Nilfgaardian aggression. As the homeland of the main character Geralt, it is steeped in history and intrigue and is at the center of many chapters of the story.
Known for its massive fortresses and vineyard-filled valleys, the kingdom of Temeria is an example of resilience and resilience. The dynamic political scene is a maze of power struggles and hidden alliances where King Foltest deftly maneuvers to ensure his country's survival and supremacy amidst the chaotic currents of continental politics.
Temerians are praised for their restraint and fierce loyalty, ready to sacrifice their lives for their homeland. This realm is also notable for its acceptance of non-humans, harboring persecuted races well-remembered in local lore and represented in royal courts.
Witches with bright yellow eyes walk next to the inhabitants of this kingdom. Their presence forms a formidable line of defense against menacing supernatural threats, instilling in the Temerians a sense of security, respect, and fear.
Despite its struggles, Temeria is a symbol of courageous resilience, a beacon of heroism in a stormy sea of uncertainty, and a land that proudly bears the scars of its enduring legacy. A land of knights and villains, witches and wizards, where every brew whispers tales of bravery, every stone sings songs of history, and every citizen lives with the undying spirit of free will. The Sphere embodies the majestic tapestry that is the Witcher Universe.
History
The heart of the Northern Kingdoms and an important figure in the continent's history, Temeria is characterized by a strong government and a united people. The kingdom was founded in the 4th and 3rd centuries BC and gained independence from the oppressive rule of Redania. Matching the black and white lily symbol on her flag, Temeria flourished as the embodiment of grace, strength, and resistance to any storm she faced.
The first major challenge came in the form of the Northern Wars, a series of conflicts that burned the kingdom and threatened Temeria's integrity and sovereignty. Despite many territorial losses, the strategic governments of King Geddes and King Goidemar played an important role in maintaining stability and protecting the kingdom. The history of Temeria was also greatly shaped by the confluence of the realms, and as a result humans and non-humans coexisted in Temeria. Initially fostering a sense of unity, the sharp cultural and economic divide between humans and non-humans eventually led to a tense atmosphere marred by the infamous bloody sabbath.
However, the darkest period in Temer's history began with the Third Nilfgaard War. Emperor Emhyr var Emreis plunged into the heartlands of the northern kingdoms, and Temeria bore the brunt of his assault. Due to political intrigue and treachery, Temeria was robbed of its leader when King Foltest fell on the battlefield and the kingdom fell into chaos. It was during this terrible time that the story of Geralt of Rivia, the famous Witcher, unfolded, intertwined with the fate of Temeria.
Despite those storms, Temeria remained undefeated. The kingdom prospered due to the resilient nature of the Temerians and the strategic alliances forged by its strong leaders. The subsequent history was marked by efforts to reclaim their land, rebuild their society, and restore their reputation as a titan among the northern kingdoms. As Temeria's prosperity has been tested by time, the history of this northern jewel reflects its indomitable spirit and the indefatigable perseverance of its people.
