Redania

The **Kingdom of Redania** would be brought about by the actions of one of the first three human kings of Nordling culture, King Sambuk, whose reign began as the first humans (not the true first humans but likely the groups that arrived in the 760s) landed at the mouth of the Yaruga and moved up the Pontar Delta and Arcsea to settle. Novigrad was his capital. His descendant Abrad the Old Oak would be considered the first of Redania's kings as he would be the one to properly establish the kingdom.
