Novigrad \ Witcher 3
12Novigrad is a free city within Redania and is therefore not subject to the rule of that kingdom It is one of the major ports on the continent and populated by nearly 30,000 inhabitants, making it one of the largest cities in the North
Novigrad is home to all manner of craftsmen offering every ware that could possibly find a buyer and one can even find the occasional conman or shady dealer The Eternal Fire is said to protect the city's inhabitants from all evil, monsters included
Novigrad is inhabited by an unusually colorful group of both permanent residents and those in town on long and short-term visits Most eye-catching amidst the throngs of common townsfolk, stall-keepers, and craftsmen are those practicing the more roguish professions There is no army in the city but it does have a Secret Service, an ever-present Temple Guard, and a powerful Temple Fleet
The coat of arms for Novigrad is not actually described in the novels These particular coats of arms are based on images from The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt For a different take on the coat of arms, we have the Czech concept, concept of our resident heraldry and Witcher expert Mboro and version from the second issue of "Biały Wilk" (The White Wolf) magazine
Before the First Landing, Novigrad was a small elven settlement When the first human ships arrived in the Pontar Delta, the city was abandoned and it quickly became the capital of a new country created by King Sambuk, the ancestor of the first king of Redania
During the reign of Vestibor the Proud, Novigrad was conquered by Temeria during the Seven Years' War The capital of Redania was then moved to Tretogor and Novigrad became a Temerian city for a long period
The situation changed during the reign of Vestibor's grandson, Radovid III the Bold After long negotiations, a compromise was reached and the metropolis was acclaimed as a free city
Although Redanian kings are officially recognized as "kings of Redania and Novigrad", real authority is vested in the hierarch elected by the Council of Electors The current hierarch is Cyrus Engelkind Hemmelfart
