The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Artbook

NO MAN’S LAND
During Geralt’s travels through No Man’s Land
he passes through a small village, Heatherton,
which was attacked by the Wild Hunt shortly
before his arrival. A hard frost, sheets of ice, and
unseasonable cold often follow in the Hunt’s
wake and provide tell-tale signs of its recent
presence. The illustrations here show various
concepts drawn up while imagining a location
transformed by such a phenomenon.
Post-Hunt Heatherton was supposed to look
like a place struck by a freak weather anomaly
or a minor magical catastrophe. While early
autumn weather reigns in the rest of Velen, here
snow has fallen alarmingly early. The frozen
mud of the farmyards, the frost-covered walls of
the huts, and the long icicles hanging from the
edges of the roofs stand as clear proof (to those
who know how to look) of who is responsible for
these happenings.
