Description
Situated between the Braa River in the north and the Pontar in the south, Redania, one of Four Kingdoms, is a wealthy realm which profits from trade and agriculture. For ages, it has fought a customs war with Temeria, which is its main competitor in the north. The country possesses the best intelligence service in the world. The government of Redania is heavily influenced by sorceresses.
Many historians trace the establishment of a Redanian state to 966, when Abrad the Old Oack united local counties and tribes. The Kingdom of Redania was founded in 1025 when Radovid I, descentant of Abrad, was crowned in Novigrad - which was the first capital of kingdom until reign of king Vestibor the Proud.

Presently, capital is Tretogor - not too large, but strongly fortified city located in central Redania. The name of the town comes from the three hills on which it was built.
Other famous town is Oxenfurt, known for its famous University.

Current ruler is Radovid V. When his father, Vizimir II had fallen victim to an assassin a few years earlier, the prince had had but thirteen summers. The country fell into chaos, as usually happens in such circumstances, and queen Hedwig would not have been able to control things. The aristocracy, as they tend to – started to organize themselves into factions, attempting to tear something out for themselves. Some practically licked the boots of Nilfgaardian emissaries, doing so with much practice and a real sense of commitment. The Regency Council appointed to save the kingdom from the conflict managed to do so, and properly hung the traitors, yet its members disregarded their underage ruler. Therefore nobody among the Redanian nobles expected that Radovid would grow up to become a firm monarch who would repay all humiliations he and his mother had suffered during the regency. The king was quick to show that, if his father had earned the moniker of"the Just", he would be remembered by history as "the Stern".

For ages colors of kingdom are white and red, and the national simbol is silver eagle on a red field - arms of Abrad the Old Oack.
Current coat of arms of Redania is a crowned silver eagle on a red field. The eagle grips a golden scepter in its talons and a small black shield bearing a golden cross of Jamurlak adorns its proudly protruding chest. It was finally established by king Radovid IV the Bald.

Altrough kingdom hasn't its own soundtrack in Witcher games or TV series yet, but this song sounds well illustrated nature of Redania: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv8Lri…
