In this essay I want to compare the vast Empire of Nilfgaard, lying south of Temeria and Aedirn to the powerful empire of Rome, whose territory spanned areas from Scotland to Afghanistan and from Mauretania to the Netherlands. Sounds quite similar to an empire of our own world’s history: Rome. The Nilfgaardians liked conquering and arena fighting, worshipped the sun and had the greatest army the Continent had ever seen. Nilfgaard was the powerful empire in the south, an enemy the people in the Northern Kingdom always feared.
