Algemad

Algemad is a fictional geographical location featured in the fantasy novel "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. It is a region located in the distant west of the Four Corners of Civilization, bordering the Eld. Algemad is known for its harsh, untamed wilderness and is sparsely populated. The inhabitants of Algemad are often depicted as hardy and independent, accustomed to a difficult existence. The area is characterized by rugged terrain, including mountains and dense forests, and is home to various dangerous creatures.

Within the narrative, Algemad serves as a place of refuge and a source of mystery. Some characters travel to or from Algemad, often for reasons related to their past or their need to escape notice. The region is considered remote and somewhat lawless, making it an ideal destination for those seeking to disappear or operate outside the usual societal structures. It is a place where legends and rumors often originate, contributing to its aura of danger and intrigue. The exact extent and specific features of Algemad are not fully detailed, leaving much to the imagination, but its presence in the story emphasizes the vastness and variety of the world Rothfuss has created.
