Nilfgaard (city)

Contrary to popular beliefs, the majority of towers are not truly made of gold, but are named after the sun that dances off their rooftops.

Trivia

  • The origins of the city's name are unclear. "Nilf" seems to be corrupted version of the Icelandic "nifl" (fog, darkness, mist; like in "Niflheim"), while "gaard" could be either the Dutch "gaard" (yard, garden) or the Old Norse "garðr" (yard, enclosure).
