## Origins

The School of the Tiger, arose for a very simple reason. Where did those failed witchers go who were even repudiated by the infamous School of the Cat?

In the beginning, they had no place, until several of them got together and created in response to all the repudiation suffered, the School of the Tiger, which would be a refuge for those all rejected by the various schools.

Settling in the east of the Continent, for fear of being attacked by other schools or for other reasons.

## History

Not much is known about the origins of the School of the Tiger, more than the reason for its existence, neither is the date of its foundation, nor of its founder, etc...

### Brehen joins the School of the Tiger and becomes their leader (1269)

It is known is that the infamous witcher Brehen, decades after his failed hunt of the Striga Adda the Red, found the School of the Tiger and joined them, becoming their leader and somehow radicalizing them more than they already were. Making them adopt "the point of view" of the things he possessed. Turning them into one of the "terrors of the east."

They didn't gain much sympathy, which led to constant attacks on the members of this school and many deaths. By 1282, there were very few members left. Since most of them either died or deserted the school. In particular, the younger ones who had not been accepted but raised in it.

#### Conflict with Fabio Sachs' expedition ( 1283 )

In 1283, the remaining witchers of the School of the Tiger were hired by the Nilfgaardian government of Barsa to provoke a series of massacres, with the intention of destabilizing the area not controlled by Nilfgaard of that territory so that Nilfgaard could have direct control of the whole area, according to the orders of Emhyr Van Emreis, the emperor himself, at that time with a promise similar to the one made to the vipers, approximately two decades before, with which he would give them all the resources to rebuild their school.

What was the problem? That the government of Ofir / Hannu which controlled the territories of Barsa that Nilfgaard wanted, hired the expedition of Fabio Sachs to put an end to the problem, in exchange for certain agreements in representation of the kingdom of Lyria and Rivia.

What inevitably, with the resources that the expedition had, like, other witchers and mages, plus the support of that government, the School of the Tiger witchers could not cope, due to their small number and ended up being extinguished.
