The Four Kingdoms, or The Great Kingdoms,[1] is the collective term used to refer to the ensemble of the significant countries on the Continent prior to the Second Northern War with Nilfgaard in the late 1260s. The hub of the lands of the North are composed of four large kingdoms — Kaedwen, Temeria, Redania, and Aedirn. They are the prime players in the great game of politics and war that decides the fate of kingdoms and dynasties.
