The Northern Wars is a term used in the Nilfgaardian Empire for the Empire's conquests in the North, which started with the taking of Ebbing, Maecht, Metinna and Nazair in 1239, and ended in 1268 with the Peace of Cintra. The term is not used in the Northern Kingdoms, where the final stage of the Northern Wars is called the Nilfgaard Wars.

In the outro of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings a new Nilfgaardian invasion is shown, the 3rd Nilfgaard-Nordling War in 1274, which will probably be the backdrop of the upcoming The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
