Reikalingan

Reikalingan is a fictional location that appears in the fantasy novel "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. It is a city located in the North of the fictional continent of Temerant. Reikalingan is described as a harsh and unforgiving place, known for its cold climate and its inhabitants' fierce independence. The city is built on a series of islands in a large, icy lake, and is accessible only by boat during the warmer months or by a precarious ice bridge in the winter.

The people of Reikalingan are known as Reikalingans. They are hardy and resourceful, accustomed to living in a difficult environment. They are often depicted as being wary of outsiders, but also fiercely loyal to their own. The city is a center for trade, particularly in furs and other goods that are abundant in the northern territories. Despite its remote location, Reikalingan plays a significant role in the broader political and economic landscape of Temerant, often serving as a border town and a strategic point of interest. The city is also noted for its unique architecture, adapted to the cold, and its distinct cultural traditions that have developed in isolation.
