Kaveri

**Kaveri** was an Aedirnian woman who lived in the city of Vengerberg with her family. She was the mother of Yennefer.

## Biography

Kaveri was a human woman who had a relationship with a half-elf man. Together they had a daughter, Yennefer, whom she gave birth to in the Aedirnian capital city of Vengerberg in 1192. The girl was born with a twisted spine and partial paralysis of the face, but also had the ability to use magic. Yennefer's father was killed during the Great Cleansing, in which thousands of elves died, and Kaveri eventually entered a relationship with a man named Fletcher. Together the two had four more children: three daughters and one son.

Kaveri lived in Vengerberg with her family, where they raised pigs. In 1206, an incident where Yennefer accidentally teleported herself to the Tower of the Gull to escape danger brought her daughter's abilities to the attention of the sorceress Tissaia de Vries, the Rectoress of Aretuza, a magic academy for young women that was located in Temeria on Thanedd Island. Shortly after, Tissaia traveled to Vengerberg by horse and cart, and Kaveri noticed her approach through a window in the family's home. The sorceress found Yennefer and her step-father Fletcher in the pigpens outside the house and asked him how much it would cost to purchase the girl. While they haggled on a price, Kaveri came outside and asked what they were doing. When she realized that Fletcher meant to sell their daughter, she insisted that he couldn't go through with it and implored that he consider what the "witch" would do to her. Fletcher dismissed her pleas and disavowed any relation to Yennefer, who was not his biological child. Although Yennefer begged her mother to help her and refused to go with Tissaia, Kaveri acquiesced without any further protest. She watched as her daughter was taken away and held her other four children while weeping.

## Notes

* Although Kaveri's name was not spoken out loud in the episode Four Marks, her name was given in the credits.
* Yennefer's mother previously appeared, albeit unnamed, during a brief flashback in the novel *The Tower of the Swallow*. There are multiple key differences between the original account of Yennefer's mother written by Andrzej Sapkowski and that given in the Netflix series:
	+ Yennefer's mother had elven blood, not her father.
	+ The father who raised Yennefer in her earliest years was her biological father, although he did insinuate that she may have been sired by another man, a suggestion that offended her mother.

Griffin

A **griffin**, also known as **griffon** or **gryphon**, is a creature with the body, legs, and tail of a lion and the head, wings, and talons of an eagle. They are known to toy with their prey, eating it alive, piece by piece.

Inhabiting mainly caves in most of the mountains on the continent, griffins reproduce by laying eggs. They have strong wings, and so have the capability to create a unblockable and powerful strike with their talons.

## Notes

* A griffin appears in *Reasons of State*, though it's visually different from the games and *Wiedźmin: Gra Wyobraźni*.

Lydia van Bredevoort

**Lydia** was an anarchic mage with a mysterious employer who tasked her with finding Princess Cirilla, a high priority job for which she sought assistance from Rience.

## History:

### Freeing Rience

Lydia visited Rience in his Cintran cell of ten years to inform him of Calanthe's death. Still, his conviction lived on, though she possessed the means to free him, but only if he agreed to Lydia's proposal: his freedom in exchange for hunting down Calanthe's granddaughter.

Rience returned to Lydia with a scared face after having failed to track down Ciri, though he didn't return empty-handed. He had a vial of Ciri's blood in his possession, which he had no intentions of giving up. However, he was willing to negotiate: the vial of blood in exchange for an opportunity to meet Lydia's employer. She didn't make any promises, though she agreed to see what she could do and then told Rience that he'd need a crew if he intended to get in and out of the Temple of Melitele with Ciri.

### Scarred and Disfigured

Rience had failed yet again to retrieve Ciri, at the cost of the Michelte brothers as well. Lydia reminded Rience that she only promised he'd meet her employer if he brought the girl. Having failed on his end, Rience agreed to allow Lydia to run tests on the vial of witcher mutagen containing Ciri's blood in hopes of convincing her employer to come. Lydia gladly performed a blood tracing ritual, but doing so with the witcher mutagen left her horribly disfigured and scarred.

Lydia and Rience met with her employer to discuss their plans to find Ciri moving forward.

Wraiths

**Wraiths** appear near cemeteries or in homes they inhabited during their lives. They usually have no memories and are guided strictly by hatred towards the living. May they rest in peace.

## Wraiths

### Lifespan

Unknown

These glowing specters are seen when Vesemir and his fellow Witcher trainees wake up in the Red Swamp during a flashback. It's a merciless test, with most of the teen boys getting torn apart. The nature of the wraiths aren't revealed, however, as opposed to *The Witcher* video games, where some are driven by revenge and murder. Vesemir and a select few survive, going back to Deglan to claim their induction medallions.

## Biography

### Meeting Princess Cirilla

Leader of the dryads, Eithné, confronted Ciri after she trespassed into Brokilon forest. She asked Ciri her name. She introduced herself as Fiona. Eithné explained that there were once many forests like that of Brokilon before the Conjunction of the Spheres. The dryads were forced to adapt as they fought off the mutants and humans who sought their end. Now, only they remain. Ciri was then reunited with her friend Dara, who was shot with an arrow. They removed the arrow from his shoulder and poured water on the wound as the waters of Brokilon are potent. Eithné informed Ciri and Dara that all newcomers in the forest must drink the water. If they beared ill intent towards Brokilon, they'd die. But if they were pure in heart, they'd survive and stay there. And over time, the waters of Brokilon lessened the suffering they'd endured and make them forget.

Ciri awakened from a nightmare to find Dara drinking the Brokilon water. He assured her that everything would be okay. Eithné passed the bottle to Ciri and told her to drink and leave her past behind. Ciri did just that. Unlike with Dara, nothing happened after Ciri drank the water. Perturbed, Eithné took Ciri to Shan-Kayan, a large tree in the center of Brokilon forest. She cut into it and told Ciri to drink from the source. Ciri drank from the tree and had a vision of a large, luminescent tree in the middle of the desert.

### Farewell to Ciri

The general was skeptical of Ciri and objected to allowing her to stay in Brokilon after learning from Shan-Kayan that Ciri was the princess of Cintra. However, with the Nilfgaardians already scouring their borders, some suspected that Ciri was their only chance of survival. And with that, Eithné announced that Ciri would be allowed to stay. Eithné presented Ciri with two options; either she could stay or she could continue her journey in search of her destiny.

While learning how to craft arrows with the dryads, Ciri was reunited with Mousesack. She asked what happened to him, and he told Ciri that he'd come to take her back to her rightful place. He claimed that he knew where to find Geralt of Rivia, who she'd been promised to through the Law of Surprise. While Ciri appreciated the dryads' hospitality, she'd be leaving with Mousesack and wanted Dara to join her. Before leaving, Eithné advised Ciri to always be vigilant and ask the right questions. Ciri gave her a hug and departed with Dara and Mousesack.

Before a Fall

**Before a Fall** is the seventh episode of season one In the *Netflix series*. It was written by Mike Ostrowski and released 2019-12-20.

## Summary

Geralt returns before Cintra's Fall and demands to bring Ciri to safety. Calanthe agrees and tries to swap the princess with a commoner girl. Geralt is locked up in the gatehouse. Nilfgaard attacks. Yennefer is asked by Tissaia to return to Aretuza and joins a meeting of the mages. The fate of the Northern Kingdoms is discussed.

## Cast

* Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia
* Anya Chalotra as Yennefer
* Freya Allan as Ciri
* MyAnna Buring as Tissaia de Vries
* Royce Pierreson as Istredd
* Mahesh Jadu as Vilgefortz
* Mimi Ndiweni as Fringilla
* Anna Shaffer as Triss Merigold
* Lars Mikkelsen as Stregobor
* Jodhi May as Queen Calanthe
* Adam Levy as Mousesack
* Björn Hlynur Haraldsson as Eist Tuirseach
* Maciej Musial as Sir Lazlo
* Ella-Rae Smith as Fola
* Anna Burnett as Glacella

## Differences

* The "Fake Ciri" was introduced much later in the novels and definitely NOT by Queen Calanthe, but by Codringher and Fenn. Although, in a flashback of Geralt in the short story "Something More", Calanthe tried to talk Geralt into taking just a child from the ten children she presented to him. After an emotional talk with the Queen, the Witcher leaves Cintra without even knowing the name or the looks of his child of surprise.

* One main difference in the TV-Show: Geralt was in Cintra when Nilfgaard attacked. In the short story "Something More", he is just riding to Cintra, but the city already had fallen. Also in this short story, he hears about the terrible end of Cintra by his friend Dandelion, who is among the war refugees.
Remus

**Remus** was a witcher of the Wolf School, having been trained at Kaer Morhen around the same time as Geralt, Eskel, and Lambert.

## Appearances

### Portrayed by

David Errigo Jr. (young)ActorGudmundur Thorvaldsson

### Appears in

Netflix The Witcher ,The Witcher:The Nightmare of the Wolf

## Biography

Remus was hired by the Miner's Guild of Temeria to eliminate the monster reported to run havoc across the country. Mistakenly assuming that he was to face a vukodlak instead of a striga, he was badly prepared and died during the hunt.

## Legacy

Fearing that the news of witcher's death would cause unrest, as even the superhuman monster hunter failed at defeating the cursed princess, Triss Merigold decided to spread a gossip that instead of being killed Remus fled with the money.

## Notes

* In *Gwent: The Witcher Card Game*, it's Brehen who shares a similar fate.
Vanielle

**Vanielle** of Brugge was a sorceress and one of the mages who fell during the Battle of Sodden Hill.

## Biography

### Conclave of Northern Mages

Vanielle and Vilgefortz lured Yennefer back to Aretuza, where they informed her that Nilfgaard was planning to attack Cintra. Not that Yennefer cared. She only cared for finding Tissaia. To her surprise, Tissaia had no idea Yennefer was in Aretuza. Vilgefortz lied to Yennefer in hopes of convincing her to join their cause.

Vanielle was one of many mages who attended the conclave of Northern mages in Aretuza. Artorius, Stregobor, and Tissaia led the conclave. Artorius and Stregobor had no desire to go to war with Nilfgaard. Especially not for Cintra, who rejected their mages for decades. Rather than watching them fall, Tissaia wanted to help Cintra defeat Nilfgaard. Vilgefortz, Sabrina, and Vanielle sided with Tissaia, wanting to convince the kings to send their armies because if they didn't stop Nilfgaard now, more kingdoms would fall.

Fringilla arrived at the conclave and denounced any suspicion that Nilfgaard was planning to take over the continent. Under their new leader, Emperor Emhyr, Nilfgaard had strengthened trade and funded research. Tissaia accused Fringilla of rejecting the order and way of life that took centuries to build. Fringilla retorted that they simply modified it. They've taken a new path, guided by the White Flame. Nilfgaard believed in shared sacrifice and that there was no such thing as dark or light magic. In taking Cintra, they had a chance of saving the continent. The mages put it to a vote. Unfortunately, most side with Stregobor and Artorius to allow Cintra to fend for themselves.

### Battle of Sodden Hill

Approximately 60 mages, Vanielle, Vilgefortz, Triss, Yennefer, Tissaia, Coral, and Sabrina included, board a ship headed for Sodden Hill. They must get to the Elven keep that guarded it before Nilfgaard did. They had already sent word to the Northern kingdoms. Temeria and Kaedwen agreed to join them in defending the land. The plan was to protect the keep. Vanielle, Triss, Yennefer, Tissaia, Vilgefortz, Coral, and Sabrina arrived at the keep. The only thing separating Nilfgaard from the North. They were greeted by a man. Yennefer advised him to take the children and hide, but as he explained, there was no more hiding from Nilfgaard. Their only chance was to fight.

The keep was attacked by Fringilla and Nilfgaard in the late hours of the night. The sun had risen and the Northern mages made it through the night. Unfortunately, Nilfgaard arrived much sooner than they anticipated and the Northern armies were still a ways out. There were only 22 of them left, Triss, Yennefer, Tissaia, Vilgefortz, Vanielle, Coral, Atlan Kerk, and Sabrina included. They witnessed as a thick fog consumed the mountains around them, signaling Nilfgaard's encroachment. Vanielle was shot with several arrows during the attack and died.

Zola

**Zola** was the wife of Yurga, who brought Ciri home with her after finding her in a field.

## History:

### Warning Ciri

Zola noticed Ciri come into town on her own, headed for the coast. So, she warned Ciri to tread carefully. Zola questioned why Ciri was headed for Skellige as the roads weren't safe and the Skelligens were a "grumpy lot." Instead, she offered to give Ciri food and a place to stay. Rather than waiting for Zola to return, Ciri rode off on one of her horses.

### Taking Ciri In

Zola found Ciri laying in a field unconscious. When Ciri awakened, she explained that she was attacked, however, the Cintrans who attacked her were all dead. Zola helped Ciri to her feet and brought her home with her.

Zola's son, Nadbor, wasn't as welcoming to Ciri as his mother. He surmised that she was trying to out run the war and that his mom was a bleeding heart. She felt bad for Ciri so she took her in. Zola smacked him in the head and asked Ciri to teach her son some manners. Suddenly, a fire ball could be seen shooting across the sky, signaling Nilfgaard's arrival.

Zola tucked Ciri into bed and assured her that everything would be fine. Zola had lived a simple life up to that point. But she'd had everything she could've ever wanted, except for a daughter. She believed it was destiny that led her to Ciri.

Zola was married to a merchant named Yurga. He arrived home with Geralt on his back carriage. Zola told Yurga how she met an orphan girl in the woods nearby. Hearing Yurga's conversation with his wife reminded Geralt of Renfri telling him to find the "girl in the woods." Geralt jumped off the back off the carriage and into the woods.

Hirrika

The **Hirikka**, in Witcher lore, is said to be even rarer than a dragon.

## History:

Geralt knew of this creature and told his traveling companions to put down their weapons as it simply looked hungry.

Eyck took matters into his own hands and gruesomely killed the creature. Karma sure did catch up with him quickly, however.
Djinn

Sometimes, the scariest monsters are those you can not see. The Djinn is similar to a genie in that it grants three wishes to those who release it. Jaskier finds this particular Djinn and is then injured, needing Geralt to save him by taking him to Rinde.

## History:

He then crosses paths with Yennefer, who wants the Djinn for herself for its power that would hopefully allow her to give birth.

It is then revealed that Geralt is actually the Djinn's master. We don't find out what his last wish was, but the Djinn ends up leaving Yennefer's body, saving her.
Bruxa

**Bruxa** is a type of vampire that can take the form of both a dark-haired human and a large bat. They are incredibly fast and often appear as attractive women to lure unsuspecting men to their doom so they can drink their blood.

## History:

Bruxae appear in both The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3’s Blood and Wine expansion. In The Last Wish story, Geralt has to deal with the Bruxa Vareena at Nivellen’s Manor, which we know will be featured in this season. It has been confirmed that Agnes Bjorn will play her.
Nimir

**Nimir** was a member of Renfri's gang of bandits.

## Biography

### Following Renfri to Blaviken

Nimir and his brother Vyr followed Renfri into Blaviken in search of the mage Stregobor. They crossed paths with the renowned witcher Geralt of Rivia and picked a fight, one that was stopped before it could begin by Renfri.

Much later, Nimir, Vry, and the rest of Renfri's gang blocked Geralt's path to Renfri, massing on the message that he had to choose the "lesser evil." Geralt drew his sword and took out Renfri's gang, one by one until there was no one left alive.

Adda the White

**Adda the White** was the daughter of Foltest, king of Temeria. She was born a striga as a result of a curse cast by Ostrit, a local magnate who loved her mother, Adda of Temeria. When he learned of the incestuous relationship between the king and his sister, Ostrit tried to put a curse on the king and caused Adda's transformation into a striga.

## Biography:

### Cursed as a Striga

Adda was born a striga as a result of a curse cast by Ostrit, who was jealous of her mother's incestuous relationship with her father. Ostrit tried to put a curse on the king, which unintentionally resulted in her mother's death and her becoming a striga. For six years, Adda terrorized Vizima, killing its villagers. She was only cured after Triss Merigold sought out the help of renowned witcher Geralt of Rivia, who would need to keep her from her crypt until the morning.

On the night of her final full moon as a striga, she rose from her crypt. Geralt had tied Ostrit to the bed upstairs in the ruined palace and left him behind. Adda, as a fully transformed striga, killed him, and then attacked Geralt. He tried to entrap her with silver chains, but to no avail; the striga broke free. A fight ensued, which ultimately resulted in Adda being knocked unconscious. While she was down, Geralt placed a barrier over the entrance, some form of Yrden, preventing her from leaving. When she ran for the exit, the barrier knocked her back. Geralt then punched her while wearing silver knuckles. As the sun rose, both she and Geralt raced for the crypt. Geralt got to it first and sealed himself inside.

The sun was out, and Adda had almost fully transformed from a striga to a girl. Geralt slowly approached to examine her and ensure his efforts had been fruitful. She turned around and slashed his throat with her claws. Geralt bit her neck to get her off of him and then passed out.
Sven

**Sven** is a minor character in The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf and one of the Kaer Morhen Witchers.

## Biography

Sven was among the group of young boys in the fortress, when young Vesemir followed Deglan. They went through the trials together and Sven almost lost his life when they had to venture through the swamp with nothing on them but their medallions. Sven lost his left arm during the monster attack in the swamp.

He appears later as an adult in Kaer Morhen when the Witchers return for the winter. Sven's colleague Luka then makes fun about Sven's size, and it's notable, that Sven, although muscular, is of a very short build compared to the other Witchers.

The battle at the end of the movie proves, that he is still a capable fighter, who even can use the signs with the stump of his arm.

## Trivia

* It's a bit unclear how Sven can manage the Witcher signs this way, since it's usually necessary to move the fingers in a certain way to create a sign. E.g. in the first The Witcher game, Leo, lost this ability due to broken fingers from the training.

* Has a "horseshoe" beardstyle.
Foltest

**Foltest** was the king of Temeria.

## Biography

### Lifting the Princess' Curse

For the last six years, citizens had been disappearing throughout the land of Temeria. So, Triss Merigold sought out the help of renowned witcher, Geralt of Rivia, to stop the creature that has been terrorizing the city and kingdom. Triss presented Geralt to King Foltest, Lord Ostrit, and Captain Segelin, with whom she pleaded with to enlist Geralt's aid. They claimed that the creature was actually the daughter of Princess Adda, who was murdered. However, Segelin was sceptical of Geralt's claims. Triss hoped that the king would allow her to search the abandoned castle for clues as to who killed Adda, however, Segelin feared that Geralt would kill the princess. Geralt explained that the creature grew inside of Adda, feeding on her womb and mutating, growing for years until she got so hungry that she was forced to "slither out". Essentially an "overgrown abortion". This angers Foltest, and he commands that everyone leave.

As they left the room, Geralt pushed Segelin out last and locked the door behind them. He took that time to ask the king who fathered Adda's child. He also questioned why Foltest never married and produced his own heir. Not to mention the fact that he had allowed for the striga to live. All this pointed to King Foltest being the father of the striga. Foltest surmised that the rumours of witchers being devoid of heart and emotion must've been true in order for Geralt to accuse him of an incestuous affair with his sister while simultaneously advocating that he kill his own daughter. The guards broke through the door, and Foltest ordered Geralt to leave Temeria and never return.

With Triss' advice, Foltest had a change of heart and decided to trust Geralt and take his help after all. He met Geralt at the entrance to the abandoned crypt, where the striga slept. Geralt honestly answered that he didn't know if this would work or if the princess would be normal if she was cured. All she'd ever known her entire life was "rage and hunger". Geralt gave Foltest a gift to give his daughter in case the curse was lifted, but Geralt didn't survive through the night. Foltest claimed that both he and Adda initially tried to resist their urges, but what they felt was too powerful and "for all it brightens, love casts long shadows". He envied Geralt's mutation to live and never have to fall in love.

After Geralt managed to successfully lift the curse, King Foltest issued a statement that Lord Ostrit gave his life defeating the creature. He returned Geralt's gift to the princess along with his coin.

### Battle of Sodden Hill

King Foltest agreed to defend the keep on Sodden Hill and rally the Northern Kingdoms after getting word of Nilfgaard's plan to conquer the continent. He arrived with the Northern armies shortly after Yennefer set the entire hillside ablaze.

Golden dragon

G**olden dragon** (Scholar: *Draconis Aurum nobilis*) is a legendary creature considered by most of the experts as myth. It is uncertain whether they form a separate race or are just rare, sterile mutations among more common variants.

## Golden dragon

### Lifespan

Unknown

The legends attribute them several miraculous attributes, of which unquestionably are their magical abilities and changing their forms into any living being. They belch destructive fire and hot steam. The largest specimens reach 20 meters in length.

## Notes

* The way they are described in *The Bounds of Reason* and in *Wiedźmin: Gra Wyobraźni*, golden dragons seem to be inspired by their D&D counterpart.
* While Saesenthessis is a golden dragon's (step?)daughter, she's not a true golden dragon like her father and can take only one form.
Boholt

**Boholt** was the the leader of the Crinfrid Reavers, a group of mercenaries hired to take part in the hunt for a dragon.

## Biography

### Hunting a Dragon

Boholt and the Reavers were among four teams who signed on to King Niedamir's commissioned hunt to kill a green dragon that set half a hillside ablaze. Before the hunt could start, there was already bad blood between the teams, specifically the dwarves and Reavers. Leader of the dwarves group, Yarpen Zigrin blamed the Reavers for stealing from him, threatening to piss in his gruel to get even.

All four groups decided to settle down on the mountain side. Boholt, Geralt, Jaskier, Borch, Téa, Véa, Yennefer, Eyck, and Yarpen roasted the hirikka and feasted, during which time, Boholt interrupted to make an lewd remark towards Yennefer. Eyck then took his leave as his stomach started to gurgle after failing to heed Borch's warning. It was presumed by the teams that while Eyck voided his bowels, Boholt sneaked up behind him and slit his throat.

Boholt and his men arrived at the dragon's lair to find Geralt, Yennefer, Téa and Véa defending the dragons. A fight ensued. Geralt and Yennefer defended one entrance to the cave while Tèa and Vèa defended the other from the Reavers. It came down to Boholt and one remaining Reaver. Yennefer made sure that it was she who killed Boholt.
Xavier Moran

**Xavier Moran** was a dwarf, who was part of Yarpen Zigrin's band of mercenaries.

## Biography

### Hunting a Dragon

Xavier was among Yarpen Zigrin's band of mercenaries who joined in joined in on the four team hunt that King Niedamir's commissioned to kill a green dragon that set half a hillside ablaze. Before the hunt could start, there was already had blood between the teams, specifically the dwarves and Reavers. Leader of the dwarves group, Yarpen Zigrin blamed the Reavers for stealing from him, threatening to piss in his gruel to get even.

All four groups decided to settle down on the mountain side, where they roasted a hirikka and feasted. They awakened the following morning to find Eyck missing. Yarpen found him dead by a tree with his pants down and throat slit. Nevertheless, the hunt continued. Yarpen suspected that the Reavers killed Eyck, and so he knew of a short cut across the mountains that he only shared with Geralt, Jaskier, Borch, Tèa and Vèa. Proposing a truce until they reached the next peak. Yarpen, Xavier, Yannick, and Lucas guided Geralt, Jaskier, Yennefer, Borch, Tèa and Vèa to a fairly narrow path lined with wooden boards alongside the mountain. A tight squeeze for anyone larger than that of a dwarf. The board broke beneath Borch's feet and he falls, as does Tèa and Vèa. The only thing preventing them from plummeting to the ground was Geralt holding on to the other end of the chain. Borch told Geralt to let him go. When Geralt refused, Borch let go of the chain, shortly followed by Tèa and Vèa, and the three of them disappeared within the fog as they fell to the ground below.

Yarpen, Xavier, Yannick, and Lucas got an early start the following morning. However, Yennefer caught up to them and froze them in place as she passed them by and entered the dragon's lair. Afterward, Borch paid off Yarpen, Yannick, Xavier, and Lucas; offering them teeth belonging to the green dragon to take to the king as proof of its demise. And if the king wasn't satisfied, he could expect the body of a dragon to he stopped down upon his royal wedding.

## Notes

* While it's mentioned in the short story "The Last Wish" that Yennefer once was a hunchback, it's never fleshed out, when and how she became a sorceress. In "The Tower of the Swallow" she remembered in a trance how her father maltreated and finally, even her mother disdained her for her physical disabilities. That she has ¼ elvish blood from her mother's side, is also mentioned in the novels. Her father believes, the deformities stem from the tainted blood of her mother.

* Before the end in "The Lady of the Lake", she has another memory about almost taking her own life, and when Tissaia de Vries helped her become a powerful sorceress. This was adapted into the series.

## Differences

* "The Edge of the World": - while the essential characters like Torque, Filavandrel aén Fidháil and Toruviel still appear - character Lille, who is later revealed as the goddess Dana Méadbh, isn't in the show. Most of the introduction and actions of the short story were changed for the show.

* Yennefer's story: In the novels, it was never mentioned that Fringilla even attended Aretuza. In the novel Baptism of Fire, Yennefer only recognises Fringilla during a meeting of the Lodge of Sorceresses because Fringilla was the one who blinded her during the Battle of Sodden Hill.
Visenna

## Biography

At an unknown time, Visenna was a single mother, taking care of a young Geralt. However, one day while traveling in the countryside, she sent her young son off under the pretense to fetch water for her from a nearby spring, but in actuality was to drop Geralt off for the witcher, Vesemir, to collect him. She then rode off before Geralt could return, leaving him in the witcher's care.

Many years later, while traveling through Sodden as the Battle of Sodden Hill raged nearby, she overheard a man's cry for help and found Yurga with none other than an unconscious Geralt, who had been bitten by a venomous necrophage and needed help soon or he'd die. She set about healing him but in the process Geralt woke up and the two then conversed but Visenna tried to avoid saying what they already knew: that she was his mother and had left him years ago with Vesemir. After Geralt also tried to avoid it, he finally confronted Visenna directly, asking if she could at least answer him if she knew he could have died during the Trial of the Grasses. Like before though, Visenna refused to answer directly, merely telling her son the answer wouldn't help him and that he must let go to move forward. She then cast a sleeping spell for Geralt to fall asleep. Having finished healing him, Visenna then left before Geralt could wake up again.

Yarpen found him dead by a tree with his pants down and throat slit. Nevertheless, the hunt continued.

Proposing a truce until they reached the next peak. Yarpen, Yannick, Xavier, and Lucas guided Geralt, Jaskier, Yennefer, Borch, Tèa and Vèa to a fairly narrow path lined with wooden boards alongside the mountain. A tight squeeze for anyone larger than that of a dwarf. The board broke beneath Borch's feet and he falls, as does Tèa and Vèa. The only thing preventing them from plummeting to the ground was Geralt holding on to the other end of the chain. Borch told Geralt to let him go. When Geralt refused, Borch let go of the chain, shortly followed by Tèa and Vèa, and the three of them disappeared within the fog as they fell to the ground below.

Luka

**Luka** is a Kaer Morhen Witcher and a friend of Vesemir.

## Biography

Luka and Vesemir meet the first time as young boys in Kaer Morhen, where both survive the gruesome trials and finally become Witchers. It's Luka, who mentions the boy Tomas together with the "Law of Surprise" to Vesemir, when the boys talk one cold night about how they came to the Witchers. According to Luka, himself was "dumped" by his people, and he hardly believes, that someone joins here voluntarily. When the group of boys must venture into the swamp for their training, monsters attack and young Luka almost is killed by one of them, but Vesemir stabs the creature and saves Luka's life.

In the movie, the audience meets Luka again in Kaer Morhen as an adult, just when a group of new boys for the training arrives, and the other Witchers return from the path to spend the winter in the fortress. Vesemir returns also with a big pouch of money, while Luka complains that he didn't earn enough. Both men then decide to go for a drink in a tavern, but guards are eavesdropping on their talk and begin to provoke the two Witchers. The provocation ends in a fight, and Vesemir and Luka kill two of the guards and are imprisioned. While the sorceress Tetra Gilcrest tries to convince the King, that this incident is enough reason to execute them, Illyana Zerbst is able to negotiate a different deal with the King.

Illyana then meets Vesemir again with the offer of the King's amnesty, if Vesemir frees Ard Carraigh's forests from the mysterious bloodthirsty creature, while Luka will stay under Lady Zerbst's protection.

Sigismund Dijkstra

**Sigismund Dijkstra** was an advisor to King Vizimir II.

## Biography

### Sending a Spy to Cintra

Dijkstra came to King Vizimir's rescue, killing two of his advisors, who were attempting to kill him, stabbing one in the throat and poisoning the other. He then revealed to the king that the Northern Kingdoms had formed an alliance based on their mutual hatred of elves, but that was no concern of theirs. With Calanthe gone, Dijkstra believed the time had come to make a play for Cintra.

Dijkstra contemplated his next move. Perhaps their way into Cintra was by sending in an elven spy. The elf he chose just so happens to be Dara.

### Meeting with the Brotherhood

Dijkstra informed the Brotherhood that an elven baby had been born of a mage. Artorius and Stregobor saw this as a potential threat, who were already aligned with Nilfgaard. However, Tissaia and Vilgefortz didn't intend to act on unfounded prejudice and rumor. Dijkstra replied that today's gossip was next month's news. For instance, he'd heard that Triss had returned, which the council was not aware of.

King Vizimir and Dijkstra discussed their next move. Ciri would give them the rightful claim to Cintra, making Redania the most powerful kingdom on the Continent. Unfortunately, unknown variables remained at Aretuza. But even without Dara, they remained in a strong position.

Nenneke

## Biography

Nenneke greeted Geralt when he returned to the Temple of Melitele with Ciri at his side. She embraced them both and took Ciri into her office, where they discussed her lack of control in regard to her Chaos. When Ciri mentioned "Daughter of Chaos," Nenneke questioned where she heard that term, as that knowledge had been lost to time, and knowledge like that was usually lost for a reason, she informed Ciri before introducing her to Jarre, one of her best students, who proceeded to take Ciri to the library, to use the Orbuculum for her studies.

After a chance to speak with her, Nenneke explained to Geralt that he was screwed no matter what. Kingdoms would want her for her status. Thousands had been killed in pursuit of her already, not to mention her Elder blood. Nenneke believed that she was a Child of Destiny, and that Geralt and Ciri were a part of one another. Geralt needed to find balance, and then maybe he might stand a chance of helping her.

Nenneke discovered the bodies of the Michelte brothers in the temple. Geralt apologized for brining death to her temple, as the men were after Ciri, who he needed to find. She offered to tend to Geralt's wounds, but he insisted that she simply portal him to Oxenfurt.

Voleth Meir explains that Ciri is the future before going in on the attack on Geralt, who attempts to get through to Ciri but fails. In the battle with basilisks, at least two witchers are killed. Filled with rage, Vesemir tries to kill Ciri, but Geralt defends her.

Another basilisk exits the portal and charges for Geralt, pushing him outside the cafeteria as they fight on the bridge. Geralt fortunately manages to get the upper hand and slay the beast before rushing back into the cafeteria, where Yennefer explains she made a portion to extract Voleth Meir. However, Vesemir has reached Voleth Meir and stabs her, but she heals herself within seconds. Thankfully, Lambert, Coen, and the others have managed to slay the two remaining basilisks. Geralt then realizes that it's their hate is the pain she needs to grow stronger. Geralt pleads with Ciri to hear his words and gain control.
