Shaerrawedd

Shaerrawedd - Place described in the books about the witcher by Andrzej Sapkowski. The ruins of an elven palace in the forests of Kaedwen, destroyed by the elves after the uprising of Elirene.

"In front of them, as far as the forest allowed to see, piled up smoothly hewn blocks of blunted granite and marble, with edges rounded by winds, decorated with patterns leached by rains, broken, cracked by frost, torn by tree roots. Broken columns, arcades, remnants of friezes entwined with ivy flashed white among the trunks, wrapped in a thick layer of green moss.
- Was it ... a castle?
- The palace. Elves didn't build castles. "

"From the colorful rubble with broken terracotta, a large rose bush grew, covered with dozens of beautiful white-lilac flowers. Dewdrops glistened like silver on the petals. A bush entwined a large slab of white stone. And from the slab, a sad, comely face looked at them, the delicate and noble features which could not be wiped or blurred by downpours and snow. A face that could not be marred by the chisels of plunderers gouging golden ornaments, mosaics, and precious stones out from the bas-relief. Aelirenn, said Geralt after a long silence.
