The Skellige Isles, Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Map

The Skellige Archipelago is composed of many individual isles. The largest of them are Ard Skellig, An Skellig, Undvik, Faroe, Spikeroog and Hindarsfjall. The archipelago is home to fierce warrior-sailors whom Continentals regards as pirates - and not without reason, for the Isles are barren and their inhabitants' livelihood comes mainly from plundering the seas. The land on these isles is divided between its clans, the heads of which are called jarls.
