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.
