[Source] The Kingdom of Cintra is one of the Northern Kingdoms, located south of Sodden, Riverdell and the great river Yaruga. Cintra was a very powerful kingdom in the times of queen Calanthe, but was conquered by Nilfgaard during the First Nilfgaard War. After the Second Nilfgaard War, the kingdom is nominally an independent state, but is actually ruled by Emperor Emhyr var Emreis of Nilfgaard because of his marriage to Empress Cirilla also known as False Ciri.
