Vridank

Vridank, known as "the Elf", was the king of Redania. His mother was Viviana of Lyria and his father was, presumably, Radovid III. He was named "the Elf" because of his exceptional beauty and for the admiration he had for the Aen Seidhe.

He was killed along with his wife Cerro and sons Heltmult and Denhard during Falka's rebellion, in which Falka tried to take the throne. Falka was convinced that the throne belonged to her, and not to the children from her father's second marriage. After the defeat of the uprising, the throne was taken over by Vridank's uncle, Vizimir I.
==Notes==
* In , Zoltan mentions Vridank (and his bride) over the course of a rather philosophical conversation with Geralt, citing the same sentence he used in .
* In , in Flotsam, you can hear the conversation between merchant and guard. Curious mercenary looks into crates and barrels asking what is there. While the buyer is responsible to him with exasperation: " The Treasures of King Vridank". The guard looks to the next and repeats the question. Next the answer is "Amber Room", which is a reference to the famous treasure that was lost during World War II.
