Brokilon ? Its impossible to explore Brokilon just like that. These are kilometers of forests and its border is heavy guarded by dryads. When you get close to the border they shoot first arrow as a warning and if you still dont care about that you are already dead. I think Brokilon will be eastern border of the whole Witcher 3 map.
Oh! If I don't remember wrong.... Ioverth says to Geralt that actually Dol Blathanna has lost all its beuatiful and just keep a sad make up of its glorious past.... Am I right?

I think he was reffering more to the fact that, Enid an Gleanna, abandoned the Scoia'tael, left in the Northern Kingdoms, to die, she could not give them shelter. That was because she was forced to sign a treaty with Demawend. Iorveth, doesn't think that the elves of Dol Blathanna, have made the right decision, since they have made humans their masters, (not technically but..). It is mentioned in the books though, that the palace of Dol Blathanna, has been reduced quite much in terms of beauty, due to it being abandoned for long. But as Filavandrel aén Fidháil, if my memory serves me right, said, the valley of the flowers will bloom once again.

But with old inhabitants (almost nil rate children) that emits a smell of decrepitude which pervades such a horrible contamination to the flora and buildings, AND and the very same spirit of Dol Blathanna
Does anybody else thinks that the Thanedd Islands will also be implemented? (The magical bay where Thanedd coup happened)
This whole description of how to get to it + the 3 different areas of it just screams 'secret game location!'

Thanedd Isle is right off the coast of Gors Velen. It is connected via a bridge with the town, so if Gors Velen is in the game, I think Thanedd will be too.
Edit: Pardon, I didn't think the wiki would have the info on the bridge.
About the thee areas, visitors are only permitted in Loxia, the first level of the Isle. So unless a crazy Mage Conclave happens again in Thanedd, ( I doubt it will, due to the effects of the previous one), I don't think we will get to explore much of it. Unless Geralt becomes "best friends" with Margarita Laux-Antille.
A malicious rumor is being spread: The tower toward which runs Ciri is the ruined Thanedd (the sight avoid us to see if it's rounded by land... or water..)
The original contributor to that wiki (@Gamewidow) got banned from wikia for some stupid reason enforced by wiki themselves, if I recall correctly. So everyone moved to gamepedia, nobody is contributing to the wikia one as far as I'm aware.
I had a bit of time, so I looked through the videos and facts we know again.
I think I loosely managed to get the area that will be accessible in game (don't take my word for it). Some of it are just guesses, because I thought that developers would not pass a chance to use such memorable places from the books.
I will explain it on three maps of the Witcher world that I found.
1. Witcher 2 map
2. Czech map (most likely comes from the translated books)
3. Polish map (might be a fanmade map, as it has some in-consistences with the other maps)
Now to explain the numbers:
1 - White bridge: Most likely the bridge seen in E3 Novigrad gameplay. Said gameplay is also showing mountains North and East of Novigrad, that (I think) will make the natural N-W barrier of the map. Some pictures (lousy quality).

2 - Gors Velen: Famous for it's magic school, this place has been confirmed by Dijkstra, when he states in the E3 video, that Ciri has been seen around "Velen". Also the town with 2 big towers seen far away in the video more or less matches the location of Gors Velen on the first two maps. For some reason on the Polish map it is located to the North. Screenshots.
3 - La Valette castle: Should be obvious choice for showing the influence of the decisions in W2. It could even be besieged/held by Nilfgaard depending on whether or not was the castle damaged in the explosion/fire.
4 - Wyzima: Probably the biggest surprise. Whether the castle will be visit-able, or will just appear in tutorial/cutscene is not sure, but Geralt will definitely visit it. I base this on the trailer, where we clearly see Emhyr var Emreis sitting in the audience room from W1 ending cutscene. The throne looks a little different and the room itself seems smaller, but it's definitely it. Also it's pretty close to the confirmed places, plus everyone must have seen the shrine, that looked similar to the ones in W1. Again some screenshots.
5 - Brokilon: Based on the Czech map. We see a tree in the middle, which I hope is the same one we saw in the E3 presentation. It could eventually be Bleobheris, but I'm not sure it was in such location and of that size in the books.
6 - Brenna: Potentially second battle of Brenna occurring.
7 - Cintra: Emhyr var Emreis said in the E3 trailer, that he "Shall give her (Ciri) what she deserves.", which could mean to give her back her righteous claim on Cintra's throne.
8 - Sodden: As with number 6, there is a slight chance of second battle of Sodden occurring, just to cater to the novel lovers.
9 - Bleobheris: As seen on the second and third map it's pretty close to the locations that we know (even though the location of the tree itself seems debatable). There's also been a tree with several hanged people in the trailer and I couldn't find anything more ironic than using a "Tree of friendship" for such acts.
About Bleobheris, it was not in Brokilon. It was very close to Flotsam, in Ellander Dutchy. On the Crossroads between Temeria, Redania and Kaedwen.
Regarding the possible Witcher 3 map that you pointed out, I can not say much, other than "it looks too big". Maybe it is, maybe it will be even bigger, but most probably, it will be smaller. By probably I mean, most forum members seem to think so. CDPR can always surprise us.
Oh and thank you for the work you put in this post.
