Changes: Yspaden

Latest revision as of 10:47, 20 November 2019

Yspaden is a town in located in northern Redania, and mistakenly referred to as Vspaden, in The Price of Neutrality.

Notes[ | ]

Name of the town is a simplified form of "Ysbaddaden", chief of giants in Welsh tale Culhwch and Olwen. In Sapkowski's The World of King Arthur the giant is named "Yspadden Penkawr" and is specified as a cyclops.

Vspaden or Vespaden is mentioned as a duchy in northern Kaedwen. (As source for this appears to be the Wiedźmin: Gra Wyobraźni). This should not be mistaken with the town in Redania.

Geralt wants to go to Yspaden in the short story The Lesser Evil, but he is worried to make it there in time, because the winter is near.

“

I'm making my way to Yspaden, but I don't know if I'll get there before the snows block the way. I might get stuck in one of the little towns on the Lutonski road.

”
