 Characters
Geralt of Rivia
The bard Dandelion’s ballads provide an account of Geralt of Rivia’s many
adventures. Those who read them might well think the White Wolf was the most
famous witcher of his time, a participant of epic events, including the mages’
rebellion on Thanedd Island. Dandelion devotes much attention to Geralt’s
struggles against monsters, to his famed romantic entanglements, and to his
love for a certain sorceress.
Vesemir
Though the eldest and most experienced witcher, like the other members of the
caste Vesemir winters at Kaer Morhen and sets off on his Path with the advent
of spring. Robust and lively despite his age, Vesemir is an expert swordsman
and taught Geralt all he knows.
Triss Merigold
Triss has known Geralt for some time. She is a friend of the Kaer Morhen
witchers and, though a sorceress and outsider, she is one of the few to know
the way to their secluded fortress. She can safely be counted among Geralt’s
friends.
Velerad
Velerad governs Vizima and in Foltest’s absence holds the highest authority
in the city and the country as a whole. The burgomeister knows Geralt from
long ago, having negotiated with him the price for lifting the curse that turned
Princess Adda into a striga.
Adda
Princess Adda was born of an incestuous union. The curse of a jealous suitor for
her mother’s affections caused Adda to be born a striga. Rapidly achieving solid
proportions, for several years she roamed Old Vizima, terrorizing its citizens
and devouring unfortunates. None could kill her or break the spell that bound
her. Then Geralt of Rivia came along...
Dandelion
Ostensibly Geralt’s best friend, Dandelion is a gossip, a jester and a loafer. He
is at once a successful ladies’ man, though this often gets him into trouble.
Dandelion is also an undeniably talented artist.
Shani
Shani and Geralt met through Dandelion long ago in Oxenfurt. A graduate of
the medical school there, Shani is now a dedicated professional. She is mature
beyond her age, having spent the Battle of Brenna treating the wounded in a
fi eld hospital.
Zoltan Chivay
Zoltan Chivay claims to have witnessed Geralt’s death during a massacre
of nonhumans in Rivia. Appearing to be reasonable and pragmatic, Zoltan
maintains perspective on the surrounding world, sarcastically commenting
on events. Like other nonhumans, he is troubled by the growing racism he
observes in Temeria.
