The unnamed landmass, referred to as the Western Continent, New World or New Continent by immigrants and colonizers, is located west to the Great Sea ocean. Discovered by Fabio Sachs at the start of the 14th century during his last expedition, it became a target of exploration and colonization over the course of subsequent centuries. Many exotic and strange beings inhabit these lands, including the vampires of the Ammurun tribe.

Fabiola territories during the 1500s
Fabiola is a confederation of colonies on the Eastern Coast of the Western Continent, named after explorer Fabio Sachs. Governed from Cherdian, it was formed in response to the Nilfgaardian Empire's colonization efforts. Despite the discovery of the Western Continent by Fabio Sachs in 1306, it wasn't until the Nilfgaardian Empire confirmed its existence and revealed a faster route in 1380 that significant colonization began. Initially thought to be an island, Fabiola's true continental nature was discovered in the 1470s.

Main article: Navo Federation
The Navo Federation was a country composed of several nations founded by vampires from the Ammurun tribe. After nearly two centuries of fighting with the Fabiolans, particularly with the witchers of the School of the Bat, they grew tired and, seeking to live a peaceful life, decided to secede from their more belligerent kin. Originally, each was going to go its own way, but after contacts with explorers from the Jasha Republic, who were mapping the Far North of the Western Continent in search of sea routes to Fabiola, they decided to adopt the same system as the Jasha Republic. Thus, the Navo Federation was born. The name of the country came from the affectionate nickname of one of the most famous Ammurun vampires, August Van Der Ermius, who had been a predecessor of this peaceful way of life many centuries before.
Unfortunately, the Navo Federation did not last long, as the Ammurun vampires themselves launched a war against their rebellious kin to put an end to them and prevent further desertions if the federation was successful.

Notes[]
- Special thanks to TheSageMaster, because part of the map he made for the world of The Witcher has served as inspiration for this one.
- The file size of the map is huge, so to see it in good quality, click on this link.
- Some of the locations of the Western Continent are taken from the The Witcher Polish Fanon Wikia, who has also taken some characters such as Putnam, Jolanta and Adalwulf as canon. So it's both a homage, both a feedback between this Wiki and the Polish one.
