Geography
Zangvebar lies down off the Continent's southern edge, although some Nordling scholars like Markus Hohlenberg think it's the same landmass connected by deserts and savannas. Its landscape varies from wastes to thick forests with mimosa trees.
Climate
Weather here is tropical, creating an ideal environment for animals like the renowned striped horses or carrion-eating hyenas. The forest wastes of Zangvebar are also home to the cynocephali.
Demographics
The Zangvebari are primarily a trade nation. They are often seen in Nordling ports engaged in commerce. They sell various products including mimosa bark or even the enslaved cynocephali. The cynocephali are also often engraved on Zangvebarian clocks and compasses. They may also trade Zangvebarian venom which is dangerous even to Witchers like Letho.
Some Nilfgaardians tend to see Zangvebarians as barbarians, no different than Zerrikanians or Nordlings. For example, Ardal aep Dahy mockingly suggested that if the Emperor couldn't find Ciri, he may as well present an empress of Zerrikanian or Zangvebarian origin.
