## Politics

The witchers of the Boar School serve as intermediaries between settlers and tribals, especially those of nordling origin, with more discriminatory tendencies. In addition, to promote the mixing of cultures and people between the two groups. In times when the big monsters and dangerous megafauna of The Plains have killed many witchers. They usually demand for payment, the healthiest or youngest child of the families to train him to become one of their own.

Mainly from Creole/mixed families, as these have proven to have a higher resistance to all kinds of diseases, which in case of having promising students, has allowed them to make extra experiments on them.

Also, from time to time, they often create records of local cultures and traditions. Apart from helping them, in a much closer way than the standard witcher. For example, they are known to were the ones who gave many tribal languages their own alphabet (based on a pidgin between Common Speech and Nilfgaardian), so their cultures and languages could endure into the future.

## Interesting facts

## Notes

* The **School of the Boar** is a pure fanon creation as such there is no official proof of its existence in the Witcher works outside the fanon community.
* The swordguns are based in the pistols swords and similar weapons.
* The School of the Boar, would have some inspiration in its armor and attitude in the Spanish Conquistadors, but please, do some research and don't put clichés / propaganda from The Black Legend. They integrated people into their ranks and mix their culture, since the Conquest of the Canary Islands. Apart from mixing with the locals ( these witchers would not mix as such, due to their infertility, but you get my point ).
* The idea of being the guardians of languages and cultures is based on the fact that during the period of Mexico being New Spain, Nahuatl became a co-official language and many documents were written in this language.
