Rivia

Rivia is a fictional kingdom in the Witcher universe created by Andrzej Sapkowski. It is one of the Northern Kingdoms on the Continent. The realm is depicted as a feudal monarchy with a royal court centered in its capital, the city of Rivia.

Rivia's geography includes varied terrain, with fertile plains and forested regions that support agriculture and local trade. The economy is described as based on farming, mining in some areas, and commerce along established routes with neighboring realms.

The population is predominantly human, with other races present in urban centers and border areas as described in the broader Witcher setting. The culture reflects feudal authorities, noble houses, and market towns, with local customs influenced by the region's history and geography.

The kingdom is best known as the homeland of Geralt of Rivia, a witcher whose surname derives from his birthplace. Geralt's identity and backstory are closely tied to the realm in both the novels and adaptations.

In media, the name Rivia appears across the Witcher book series, comics, and video games. The portrayal of Rivia may vary between works, but it remains closely associated with Geralt and the broader lore of the Witcher universe.
