THE FREE CITY OF NOVIGRAD<br />
‘[…] here the Eternal<br />
Fire, burning in nineteen<br />
temples, protects the city<br />
with its might.’<br />
ANDRZEJ SAPKOWSKI, “ETERNAL<br />
FIRE,” IN THE SWORD OF DESTINY<br />
We naturally could not design Novigrad without<br />
including the temple of the Eternal Fire, the<br />
central place of worship for the city’s dominant<br />
religion. <strong>The</strong> books do not provide us with a description<br />
of this building, so we had to develop<br />
its appearance from scratch.<br />
<strong>The</strong> black-and-white sketch shows one of the earliest<br />
designs for this edifice from the preliminary<br />
planning stages of development. We can see it<br />
in color in the larger illustration: the structure is<br />
stately and broad, with large iron basins in front<br />
of the entrance that burn day and night with holy<br />
fire. Gold flames can also be seen decorating the<br />
building’s facade.
