Emblem of the Sun

This is a profile of the *Nilfgaardian Empire* from *Witcher*.

## Summery

The Nilfgaardian Empire (Ceas'raet in Nilfgaardian language) is the most powerful empire in the history of the known world. It is located in the southern part of the Continent and boasts both a thriving economy and a strong, well-trained army with talented commanders. It has expanded mostly through the conquest of foreign countries, which were then turned into provinces of the Empire. The Empire's inhabitants believe that "real" Nilfgaardians are only those born in the heart of the Empire, and not those born in the conquered provinces.

* **Territory type:** Capital
* **Inhabitants:** Humans
* **Civilians:** Unknown

## Civilization Stats

**Tier 13 Dark:** Based on the world being medieval age style era it would stand that they possess similar weaponry and tech back then.

They would even possess some knowledge and the use of magic to provide aid.

**Tier 8 Continent:** Nilfgaard has led campaign after campaign across the lands that would become their provinces in the Northern Kingdoms, they range from 300,000 soldiers on the front line, while 20,000-50,000 soldiers remained in the homeland as a garrison.

## Power Stats

**DC: Building**: Elite members should be comparable to the likes of Geralt of Rivia who defeated mages and dragons who can destroy stone walls and large pillars. **Building**: The attack potency of siege weapons which should be comparable to real world siege weapons. **Street**: The attack potency of infantry units.

**Dura: Building:** Elite members should be able to tank attacks from the likes of Geralt of Rivia who took attacks from mages and dragons. **Building**: The size of siege weapons when it comes to total destruction. **Street**: The durability of infantry units.

**Speed: Massively Hypersonic+:** Elite members should be comparable to Geralt of Rivia who has combat speed equal to Lightning speed. **Superhuman**: The speed of cavalry comparable to real world. **Athletic Human**: The running speed of Nilfgaardian soldiers.

## Strengths/Pros

They allow the provinces to be ruled by kings that are subservient to the Impertor himself so as to maintain social order in the lands, or have their own governors. The Empire possesses significant resources at their command, along with a long line of emperors/impertors who have had successful military conquests throughout the Northern Kingdoms.

## Weaknesses/Flaws

The Nilfgaardian policy is based on racism such as those born outside the mainland of Nilfgaard are treated as inferior to the pure bloods born within the homeland.
