The Witcher (Franchise)	comment	The Witcher franchise started off as a collection of loosely connected Dark Heroic Fantasy short stories which deconstructed classic Fairy Tales and then evolved into a series of novels with a strong Myth Arc. Written by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski during The '90s, the books were translated into multiple languages (including Russian and German) and adapted into comics, the Film/Live-Action TV series The Hexer, and The Witcher tabletop RPG. In the English-speaking world, the franchise first gained widespread attention with the release of The Witcher, a video game adaptation-slash-sequel by the then-unknown Polish developer studio, CD Projekt RED, followed by English translations of the original novels. As of 2018, all eight books have received official English translations. Also, after a long development, a long-awaited English-language series has been co-produced by Netflix, Platige Image and Sean Daniel Company, and was released on Netflix on the 20th of December 2019.The original books were: The Last Wish (Ostatnie życzenie, 1993; English edition: 2007)—a short story collection with a Framing Device, reprinting four stories from a previous collection, The Witcher (Wiedźmin, 1990), alongside new material, arranged in order to better fit into the emerging continuity Sword of Destiny (Miecz Przeznaczenia, 1992; English edition: 2015)—a short story collection Blood of Elves (Krew elfów, 1994; English edition: 2008)—a novel (The Witcher Saga #1) The Time of Contempt (Czas Pogardy, 1995; English edition: 2013)—a novel (The Witcher Saga #2) Baptism of Fire (Chrzest Ognia, 1996; English edition: 2014)—a novel (The Witcher Saga #3) Tower of the Swallow (Wieża jaskółki, 1997; English edition: 2016)—a novel (The Witcher Saga #4) Lady of the Lake (Pani jeziora, 1999; English edition: 2017)—a novel (The Witcher Saga #5) Season of Storms (Sezon burz, 2013; English edition: 2018)—a novel, set around the time of the short stories.The five novels from Blood of Elves to Lady of the Lake are collectively known as the Witcher Saga. In addition to these, there are two loosely related short stories: Droga, z której się nie wraca (The Road of No Return), which tells how Geralt's parents met, and Coś się kończy, coś się zaczyna (Something Ends, Something Begins), a non-canonical story of Geralt and Yennefer's wedding.Other books: Tales from the World of The Witcher (Opowieści ze świata Wiedźmina, 2013), an anthology of short fiction by Russian and Ukrainian authors. The World of the Witcher (2015), a guide to world written from the In-Universe perspective of Geralt and his companions.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_1044a759	comment	Short stories tend to imply that witchers are on the way out, not even in a dying race kind of way, but simply outcompeted by less expensive half-amateurs. Again, this vanishes in the Saga, where one of the non-witcher monster hunters is unceremoniously killed off-screen early on, seemingly just to drive the point.

His sabre is shaped like a Shashka (but with a guard). He mentions a gift of bread and salt as a tradition, something which really existed in Cossack culture. His Boisterous Bruiser behavior is also reminescent of how Cossacks are portrayed in fictionnote In the same time, he's the Witcherverse version of Pan Twardowski, a Polish version of the Faustian myth, right down to directly quoting lines from few poems about the character in the original, Polish script.

Basically, they suffered the fate of Rome, with humans playing the role of barbarians adapting their culture, or perhaps Celts ran over by the Romans (with Boudicca and all). Then there's the Aen Elle, a separate civilization of racist elves from a different world, who believe in the notion of Superior Species wholeheartedly.

While the German names mostly exist in English as well, the Slavic names might seem a lot more exotic to western audiences. Several place names, particularly in Kaedwen have a mishmash of Irish and Welsh names and the Elder Speech borrows from both languages. Even Geralt's name seems to be derived from the Irish name Gearailt, which translates into English as Gerald.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_19e13868	comment	Nilfgaard superficially seems to be some cross of Ancient Rome (expanding city-state, speaks language of scholars as native language, calls army units "legions"), The Soviet Union (heavy use of secret police, uses economic and cultural power to bully neighbors) and the bad side of Germany (predilection for wearing black, sun-associated imagery, policies of ethnic and cultural purity, disdain for "degenerate" outsiders). It has been argued (in an academic paper, no less) that this odd pick of sources betrays a nice, big, greatest hits compilation of Polish Cultural Cringe: they're simultaneously the evil genocidal invaders who are out to conquer you, and the industrious and well-governed modern meritocratic state you wish you lived in. Notably, Nilfgaard commits its atrocities in a cold, just-following-orders, calculated fashion, while primitive bigotry and prejudice-driven pogroms seem to be the exclusive domain of the Nordlings.

Bonhart is a brutal individual who will kill anyone you pay him to kill. However, his lifeway includes killing wanted criminals, collecting bounties, buying new equipment from weapon smiths etc, making him look suspiciously similar to the token hero of an RPG / Heroic Fantasy book. Knowing the author, this could be an intentional to show how these guys outside of their own P.O.V. actually look like. Geralt is mistaken as one of these by those who don't know the whole story. Why do you think he is known as "the Butcher of Blaviken" when all he did was prevent a massacre in the Blaviken marketplace? Because the civilians saw him causing a massacre of the bandits that were going to massacre them.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_2f36d97	type	Older Than They Look
The Witcher (Franchise) / int_2f36d97	comment	Older Than They Look: As a side effect of their mutations, Witchers age slower than normal humans. Geralt is more than eighty years old — Kaer Morhen was assaulted some sixty or seventy years before, and there weren't any new Witchers since. Those who remained alive (including him) were out of the castle at the time of attack, which means that he already was a full-fledged Witcher at the time. Elves live for hundreds of years (to them a dozen human generations is regarded as a short time). Re-negotiating a deal with the elderly grandchildren of the human they initially struck a deal with is considered a valid tactic. Mages are The Ageless, not because of their magic but because of a certain potion that allows them to permanently stop the aging process. Female mages tend to take the potion while still in their twenties to retain their beauty while male mages tend to wait longer till they've aged enough to be seen as wise and respectable. Going into individual examples, the oldest known elf character is 650 years old (and aged enough that he requires the aid of aphrodisiacs to have sex), the oldest human mage is 500 (and aged enough that he died of a heart attack), and Vesemir is the oldest known witcher, believed to be older than the castle where witchers like Geralt were trained; he is also visibly aged but is still strong and healthy. Nobody knows a witcher's potential lifespan because none of them have lived long enough to die of natural causes.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_2fcf9bbc	comment	Gratuitous Foreign Language: The Elder Speech in particular takes words and phrases from both the Irish and Welsh languages, as do a few placenames, such as Ard Carraigh (High Rock) in Kaedwen. And there are a few words (like "Scoia'tael") taken from Italian, like scoiatollo. It falls heavily into As Long as It Sounds Foreign, though.note For instance, the greeting "ceádmil" takes the Irish phrase céad míle fáilte and picks the two words out of three that don't mean "welcome", so it means "a hundred thousand" instead. And the fada's in the wrong place. The pronunciation in the games though is usually nothing like the correct pronunciation in the respective languages, either, unless the voice actor has some familiarity with them.note "Gwynbleidd" should be "gwin-blythe", not "gwin-blade". Though it doesn't really work anyway, since Welsh adjectives come after the noun, not before, so it really ought to be "bleidd gwyn".

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_3c3f28a5	comment	Blessed with Suck/Cursed with Awesome: On the one hand, Witchers have it good. Their mutations make them resistant to most poisons and diseases (which allows them to ingest normally toxic potions), they have superior strength and reflexes, are extremely long-lived, and can see well in the dark, among other things. On the other hand, they're social pariahs, widely regarded as freaks and monsters by the masses, are seldom treated or even paid well and they are sterile. Also, as Lambert makes clear, traumatized children taken from their homes for a career they might not want, made to go through an often fatal Training from Hell, and then physiologically altered tends to make for some pretty screwed-up adults. Ciri can arguably qualify. Being a princess of a politically important kingdom is nothing when compared with the ability to travel through time and universes. Thanks to that she is hunted by virtually everyone, for a dozen different schemes.

While the general technology of the setting is late medieval to early Renaissance, the degree of understanding regarding medicine and biology is nearly modern. Mention is made of rather advanced medical concepts like antiseptics, washing of hands to fight disease, lactic acid buildup in muscles, and viral and bacterial cultures. Admittedly, those who understand these sciences best are clergy, wizards, or witchers; the average villager doesn't know much about medicine beyond the common remedies.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_43b6fb56	comment	Vain Sorceress: Sorceresses in general. They use their magic to preserve their youth and beauty. And sometimes to make themselves look beautiful. It's a matter of both professional prestige and the result of many of them being born as commoners or even cripples. In many cases, the girls who train to become sorceresses are the ones who have no hope of attracting suitors. Even after magic fixes their appearance, many of them still bear the emotional scars of their past as ugly people and resent the humiliation of having to wear a mask of fake beauty for the sake of their profession. The author describes them as "pseudo-pretty women with the cold, bitter eyes of ugly girls". The book also points out the Double Standard of male practitioners of magic preferring to make themselves look like old, wizened wizards.

The best way to describe the mix of Black-and-Gray Morality and Evil Versus Evil. The Witcher is probably coming from The Lesser Of Two Evils, where it's said that there is no lesser evil. There's only Evil and Greater Evil. And there is Greatest Evil, hiding in the shadows. And one day Greatest Evil will grab you from behind and say "I am what I am. Choose - me or that one, lesser."

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_450c5a85	type	Alternate Continuity
The Witcher (Franchise) / int_450c5a85	comment	Alternate Continuity: Sapkowski has stated that while he fully trusts the developers' skill at storytelling, he doesn't feel beholden to the games' continuity; they're effectively a high-budget Fan Sequel. However, he belatedly declared the basic assumption of the games' plot (the fact that Geralt and Yennefer survived the end of the books) to be official - but if he decides to write another sequel, he reserves the right to ignore the games' continuity. Unlike your typical adaptation, it's pretty evident that the game developers worked hard to maintain continuity with the books. They pretty much use any given opportunity to add Continuity Nods to the events in the books, even when it might do nothing but confuse any poor player who enjoys the game but has never read the source material. Sapkowski's own short story "Something Ends, Something Begins" presents an alternate happy ending where Geralt and Yennefer have married at last. According to him, the story is non-canonical, as it was a wedding gift to his friends. Some of the comics could be considered this as well. For example, Fox Children tells the same story as part of Season Of Storms, albeit with a number of differences in continuity, most notably that in the comic, Geralt begins the story with his swords, while he has already been divested of them at this point in the book and is attempting to travel to Novigrad to get them back.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_479f9ad0	comment	Subverted as Characterization Marches On in the novels. While the Nilfgaardian Empire is a blatant Expy of the Third Reich in terms of political ambitions, some visual elements and its role in the Witcherverse’ equivalent of WW2, it misses the actual Nazi aspect of racial intolerance. Looking down on Northerners as uncivilized barbarians is an issue, true, but it doesn’t really get past a snobbish attitude. No actual race- or nation-based segregation or persecution is ever mentioned, and nonhumans such as elves are enlisted in special forces and treated as equals. This comes in stark contrast with the Northern Realms where state-sanctioned purges and pogroms are common, and racism is all over the place.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_4f4372e9	comment	Early-Installment Weirdness: The two anthologies have a lot of references to fairy tales as real-life events Geralt is dealing with. This element disappears entirely once Blood of Elves comes out. Short stories tend to imply that witchers are on the way out, not even in a dying race kind of way, but simply outcompeted by less expensive half-amateurs. Again, this vanishes in the Saga, where one of the non-witcher monster hunters is unceremoniously killed off-screen early on, seemingly just to drive the point. The video games also establish that Witchers all have eyes that are in permanent, feline-like slits, which makes them easily recognizable. In the books they're capable of dilating their pupils at will, which also makes them capable of seeing in the dark. This also lead to the effects of the Cat potion being changed in the games as well. In the short story it was introduced in, Cat served to enhance Geralt's already superhuman senses so that he could better track the Striga he was confronting. In the games they just make him capable of seeing in the dark.

Nenneke of the Temple of Melitele (where Geralt tends to go for healing) is definitely a good character. The rule of thumb is: male priests are corrupt. A bigger example is the Church of the Eternal Fire, which is rotten to the fucking core. Most of the hired clergy is former torturers and assorted scum-of-the-earth types. They use hired thugs to harass unbelievers and people who they deem "heretics" and use their funds to cater to vices that they claim to be above. And you can guess how a church that worships fire likes to deal with "heretics"... Downplayed with priest Krepp in "The Last Wish". He sure is an arrogant asshole with good share of prejudice in his worldview, but the way he helps Geralt with teleportation and even risking his life in the process reveals him as a sincere and faithful man that tries his best to actually be genuine and deserving of the moral authority his title implies.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_57d43e40	comment	Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Skellige Islanders are shameless Viking expies, although the prevalence of Celtic names and cultural influences (and Irish accents in the English dialogue for the third game) makes them more into Norse-Gaels than straightforwardly Scandinavian Vikings. Nilfgaard superficially seems to be some cross of Ancient Rome (expanding city-state, speaks language of scholars as native language, calls army units "legions"), The Soviet Union (heavy use of secret police, uses economic and cultural power to bully neighbors) and the bad side of Germany (predilection for wearing black, sun-associated imagery, policies of ethnic and cultural purity, disdain for "degenerate" outsiders). It has been argued (in an academic paper, no less) that this odd pick of sources betrays a nice, big, greatest hits compilation of Polish Cultural Cringe: they're simultaneously the evil genocidal invaders who are out to conquer you, and the industrious and well-governed modern meritocratic state you wish you lived in. Notably, Nilfgaard commits its atrocities in a cold, just-following-orders, calculated fashion, while primitive bigotry and prejudice-driven pogroms seem to be the exclusive domain of the Nordlings. The Elves seem to be inspired by something, but the fandom is not sure whether it's the Celts conquered by Rome or Rome conquered by barbarians. There are a few scattered references in the text which draw comparisons to Nineties-era Palestinians vis-a-vis Israel, but this is little reflected in wider world-building and rarely commented upon. The various Northern Kingdoms are all representative of some European Medieval Kingdom. Redania is Poland, Kaedwin is Russia, Temeria is France, Cidaris and Verden are England, Aedirn is likely Bohemia or Switzerland, Lyria is similar to Spain, and the petty kingdoms in the far north like Kovir and Povis are representative of Italy. Collectively, the North roughly represents medieval Poland: able on its best day to unite and beat back its hostile Teuton-esque neighbor, but is riven by squabbling fiefdoms and ignorant prejudices which threaten to destroy it. The dwarves are pretty much Jews. Renowned as craftsmen and bankers, live in main-culture communities without being a part of them, victims of casual prejudice and the occasional pogrom. Many of them have Italian sounding names, which meshes well with them being bankers. The Heart of Stone DLC for the third game has Olgierd von Everec, whose clothes and haircut look like a Cossack's. His sabre is shaped like a Shashka (but with a guard). He mentions a gift of bread and salt as a tradition, something which really existed in Cossack culture. His Boisterous Bruiser behavior is also reminescent of how Cossacks are portrayed in fictionnote In the same time, he's the Witcherverse version of Pan Twardowski, a Polish version of the Faustian myth, right down to directly quoting lines from few poems about the character in the original, Polish script.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_5a8df8c5	comment	Our Nymphs Are Different: Nymphs are Always Female, pointy-eared and beautiful humanoids who watch over nature. They procreate by mating with humans or elves or by "transforming" humans into more of their kind — drinking the Waters of Brokilon will turn a human into a dryad, for instance. They're equated with The Fair Folk to a degree — they share some of their names with European fairies, and are known to kidnap human children to raise as their own and replace them with changelings. They appeared in the Continent long before the arrival of the first humans and elves and warred bitterly against the dwarves; the latter saw the nymphs as dangerous barbarians, while the nymphs saw the industrialized dwarves as despoilers and polluters. Numerous distinct types exist: Dryads are the nymphs of forests, and may have green hair alongside brown and russet shades. Hamadryads have especially strong connections to nature and form strong bonds with individual trees. Leimoniads are the nymphs of fields. They're now mostly extinct due to conflicts with humanity, who turned their prairies into arable land. They got along better with the elves, who did not practice agriculture. Naiads, also called rusalkas, are the nymphs of lakes and rivers. Their hair is black or green, and their skin ranges from alabaster to greenish. Some possess webbed hands, and all naiads must remain close to water at all times — if they go too long on dry land they'll dehydrate and die. Nereids are the nymphs of the sea. They're mostly found in the depths of the Great Ocean, where they live alongside merfolk and sea witches in a civilization of their own. They're close kin to naiads, and tend to have green and blue skin and hair. Oreads are the nymphs of mountains, and like the leimoniads are now mostly extinct.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_6a22d156	comment	Woolseyism: The official Russian translation, done by Yevgeny Vaysbrot (a well-known Soviet era translator of Polish literature, with a tally of more than 50 novels and stories), is (in)famous for its terminological choices. Vaysbrot, being largely unaware of Tolkien-inspired Standard Fantasy Races and creature names, used transliterated Polish words instead of ones already present in Russian fantasy translations (for example, halflings were translated as “низушки” instead of “полурослики”, “хафлинги” or “хоббиты”). Combined with Creators Culture Carryovers already making the Witcher novels look like something set in medieval Poland, and Vaysbrot deliberately using common Polish terms here and there, this led to Russian readers almost completely missing the fact that Sapkowski based his setting on traditional Western European fantasy, instead believing it’s unique “Slavic fantasy” despite the author himself disapproving of it. Regardless, Vaysbrot’s translation became so popular, the games’ Russian localization was based on his choice of names and terms.

It's not only the games — chapter headings often refer to future events in ways that imply the Nordlings end up a folksy backwater to Nilfgaard in the far future. As for the games, they advance the universe's storyline — each successive war ends with Nordlings losing more territory to Nilfgaard or its puppet states, barely holding the rest by winning a desperate victory in the field, then succumbing further to internal strife (much of which is incited or sponsored by Nilfgaard and its agents), as soon as a temporary peace agreement is brokered, while the enemy prepares for the next round. Northern kings even draw comparisons between the fates of elves and their own on their council in the books (and the plan to reverse the trend they create in response fails badly).

And as far as their civilian population is concerned, life is great as long as you don't break the law, while skills and competence are far more important than your social background. This is further contrasted with various Northern kingdoms and duchies, which are just feudal hellholes without any benefits to this whatsoever and usually busy fighting each other, both internationally and internally - and the more repressive, the less efficient they are.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_776a06eb	comment	All Myths Are True: Averted. There are many examples of false hoaxes and folk tales during the series. There are various myths about vampires, witchers and monsters that people groundlessly believe. Though some of them turn out to be more or less correct, like the story about golden dragons, or belief in destiny. The story of Cinderella exists in-universe, and was based on an actual event. The true story? Princess Cendrilla was eaten whole by a Zeugl living in the palace pond, leaving behind only a shoe. Less of a happy ending there. There was another take on it where the woman in question, tired of unwanted advances from a nobleman at a ball, fled the ball, dropping her shoe in the process.

Other religious cults and practices are heavily based on variety of Celtic and Nordic traditions, along with folk festivals of other cultures. Or are outright cultish, generic Religion of Evil, again without any relation to Catholic or even Christian elements.

In fact, elven sorceress Lara Dorren falling in love with a human mage was a plot-turning romance, setting a whole chain of events in motion and culminating with Ciri’s birth. Vampires are also prone to this, at least in their human form, dryads can have babies from humans, and succubi naturally fall for partners regardless of race or even gender. Averted with dwarves: while they believe humans have a thing for dwarven women, in reality the latter are considered extremely unattractive, and dwarves in general don’t mix with other races well, sticking to their own. Subverted with mermaids, who can maintain platonic relationships with humans but are sexually incompatible with them.

In the video games, it is expanded into an apocalyptic event that occurs throughout The Multiverse in which the story takes place. No one knows if it's an Eldritch Abomination, an ever-expanding Eldritch Location, some sort of Doomsday Device or just the inevitable Natural End of Time, but it slowly creeps along different planes of the multiverse, and any plane currently in its grip suffers a slow and gradual icy doom. Finding a way to stop it is a priority of almost every major character, whether heroic or villainous. In one case, Geralt and an ally travel through a world that has been ravaged by the White Frost and reading the Apocalyptic Logs there give a horrific impression of what it's like to slowly realize that the snow piling outside your doors is never going to stop and that it'll just keep getting colder and colder...

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_8f37b	comment	Medieval Stasis: Subverted. Zoltan has a discussion with Geralt regarding swordmaking. As it turns out, Dwarven metallurgy and swordmaking techniques have changed considerably even over the last 50 years, and old Dwarf-made swords that humans consider state-of-the-art are in fact obsolete at this point. And their discussion suggests this is an ongoing process, so it's neither anything unique in recent developments nor does Zoltan consider it in any way a finished process. A much larger example is the Empire of Nilfgaard, which has pioneered industrialization and mass-production via its manufactories. When they eventually stop their military campaign against the Northern Kingdoms, it is not because they think they can't win, but because it would be more profitable to conquer the North by trade, flooding the kingdoms with cheap Nilgaardian goods that Northern artisans cannot compete with. Various bits and pieces from the background setting suggest it's going through a whole lot of changes, both over past few centuries and just a few decades, with introduction of such things like bureaucracynote and feudal rule was also something that first had to develop in-universe, rather than being a starting point, universities, new styles in architecture or minor things like the ever-changing fashion. There is even a mental note made by one of Nilfgaardian officers regarding siege engines that are now reliable and cheap enough to not require dragging along a Military Mage to level-down a besieged castle.

The lowly ones are no different from monsters and basically look like giant humanoid bats, while the high ones are the more familiar vampires, who can happen to be quite nice and friendly folks like Regis. Also, most of the 'high' vampires easily tolerate sunlight, and holy water, crucifixes, and garlic pose no threat to them. They also do not need blood to survive, although drinking it increases their strength and gets them drunk. It appears that there is some sort of middle ground, as creatures like Bruxa are intelligent, but concentrate on sucking blood. The World of the Witcher (released alongside Wild Hunt) distinguishes between the monstrous "lower" vampires, the more intelligent of "higher" vampires, and a separate species of more powerful "true" higher vampires (such as Dettlaff and Regis).

That being said, Dandelion is neither of these things and he's another very extreme case of promiscuity.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_b7e0c5ff	comment	Love Triangle: A long-running and complicated one between Geralt, Triss, and Yennefer, Played for Drama. Geralt and Yennefer have been in love since The Last Wish, but in practice have an on-again, off-again relationship (in part due to Geralt tying their destinies together with the eponymous last wish from a djinn, so they're not entirely sure how much of their relationship is genuine). Triss seduced Geralt when he and Yennefer were "off", and Triss has carried a massive torch for him ever since. Thing is, she's also Yennefer's best friend and she frequently hates herself for loving Geralt. In the books, Geralt chooses Yennefer. By contrast, the final game allows players to choose between the two, and even gives you the opportunity to undo the effects of the wish, either to cut off loose ends or to make sure that your relationship with Yennefer is genuine.

The government of Temeria is particularly keen to suppress the cult within their borders, and membership of the Lionhead Spider cult is a crime akin to murder.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_b9e0dbc3	comment	Benevolent Dictator: Emhyr var Emreis plays with this trope. After successfully retaking the Nilfgaardian Throne from a man simply named the Usurper, who had led a successful coup against (then later assassinated) Emhyr's father, Emhyr quickly established himself as a ruthlessly cold and pragmatic emperor when he had the traitors hunted down, and personally attended their executions, whereafter he treated the affair as if it was a simple diversion from his work. His political enemies would suffer the same fate during the ensuing power struggles, and over the course of his rule, he would contend with several more plots on his life and would just as brutally have the conspirators executed. His military was not exempt from his wrath either, as despite an incredibly successful campaign against the Northern Kingdoms and expanding the Nilfgaardian Empire, after he suffered a disastrous defeat during the Second Battle of Sodden Hill (which ended the First Nilfgaardian-Nordling War), he had most of his commanders executed or replaced. Yet, in their place, he promoted younger and more ambitious officials as he prepared his next grand expansion. Likewise, under his rule, Nilfgaard entered a golden age and flourished with trade, while vastly improving the quality of life for its people, and in stark contrast to the Northern rulers, he highly favored the elves.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_bf1255fa	comment	Really Gets Around: Geralt, other Witchers, and Dandelion enjoy a lot of pleasurable company with ladies. Also most of the mages - the classic course for them appears to be: a period of promiscuity after leaving the academy, a period of interest in own sex, and finally settling to intercourse with other mages. Triss, who is said to be a 'young' sorceress has already completed it, and another, much older, sorceress, Filippa, is apparently going through it again, being 'currently' a lesbian. Most of the shown sorceresses seem to be erotically bored to death after decades of sexual activity with the world apparently not having that much new to offer, which is one of the reasons they are so hot for Geralt. Downplayed in later novels: Geralt declines sexual advances from Milva and Angouleme, and is seduced only by Fringilla Vigo who greatly resembles Yennefer.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_c2288824	type	A Nazi by Any Other Name
The Witcher (Franchise) / int_c2288824	comment	A Nazi by Any Other Name: The Nilfgaardian Empire. A totalitarian state with world dominance ambitions (with Lebensraum gist), a disdain for other nations as uncivilized subhumans, troops with black uniforms and lightning emblem (aka Sig rune) and so on. Also, the conquest of Aedirn follows to the smallest details the history of the Poland Campaign, including: false-flag operation as a cause, Blitzkrieg-like deep raids of cavalry (in the place of tanks) and backstabbing from a former ally, who make a pact with an aggressor to acquire territories they claim are rightfully theirs. Though ironically, Sapkowski's Czech fans reportedly tend to interpret the Aedirn situation as a Fantasy Conflict Counterpart to Poland annexing Silesia from Czechoslovakia a year earlier (a secret portion of the Hitler-appeasement deal from Munich that publicly netted Hitler's government the Sudetenland). Additionally, Nilfgaard's expansionist ambitions, leadership, totalitarianism, military might and wish to absorb all countries into their empire can also make them the fantasy counterpart to Soviet Russia during the Polish-Soviet War, which aimed to spread world revolution to all of Western Europe. Subverted as Characterization Marches On in the novels. While the Nilfgaardian Empire is a blatant Expy of the Third Reich in terms of political ambitions, some visual elements and its role in the Witcherverse’ equivalent of WW2, it misses the actual Nazi aspect of racial intolerance. Looking down on Northerners as uncivilized barbarians is an issue, true, but it doesn’t really get past a snobbish attitude. No actual race- or nation-based segregation or persecution is ever mentioned, and nonhumans such as elves are enlisted in special forces and treated as equals. This comes in stark contrast with the Northern Realms where state-sanctioned purges and pogroms are common, and racism is all over the place.

But travelling with one of them if they weren't introduced back in the short stories? Put on your Mauve Shirt already. Geralt himself (appears) to die in the end. It's also been said that Everybody Dies — but later. It's used in the books to establish a feeling that Geralt is no "just add boiling water" instant superhero, is a part of a living world, has really been doing his thing for a damn long time, and knows people everywhere. This is also Played for Laughs somewhat, such as when a Chekhov's Gun drops the anvil 2000 pages later on some poor sod. A random messenger that stumbles upon Ciri and Yennefer? Dead by the end of the chapter. That female merchant who stopped to listen to Dandelion's song? Dead two books later. One of the witchers? Died near the end of the saga. The later books' Darker and Edgier vibe carries that up to eleven. By Lady of the Lake, people are dying in a war that is hammered on as being pointless. It's almost a Downer Ending if it wasn't for the Earn Your Happy Ending undertones to it all.

Their mutations make them resistant to most poisons and diseases (which allows them to ingest normally toxic potions), they have superior strength and reflexes, are extremely long-lived, and can see well in the dark, among other things.

Also, as Lambert makes clear, traumatized children taken from their homes for a career they might not want, made to go through an often fatal Training from Hell, and then physiologically altered tends to make for some pretty screwed-up adults.

However, thanks to a combination of Shrouded in Myth, Gossip Evolution, Unreliable Expositor, Legend Fades to Myth and Written by the Winners, the story does not reflect what actually happened. Three prominent examples include: The legend states the final battle took place in a completely different location where it actually occurred. This was a deliberate discrepancy that began with the Lodge of Sorceresses to save face when they were Out-Gambitted by Geralt, who gave them the wrong location of Vilgefortz hideout. People want stories to have a Happily Ever After, which is why the legend abruptly ends after its version of the Final Battle. Nobody wants a story where the hero dies an ignoble death at the hands of an anonymous nobody during a race riot while his love interest dies attempting to heal him. The legend holds Geralt and Yennefer's romance up as a shining beacon of true love, which ignores how tumultuous their relationship actually was. In addition, Geralt can end up with Triss Merigold as his One True Love in the games instead of Yennefer.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_eff83d77	type	Mundane Utility
The Witcher (Franchise) / int_eff83d77	comment	Mundane Utility: The Igni sign gets this a lot in the games. In addition to being a combat spell, it's often also used to perform such tasks as light candles or solder broken pots. Nilfgaard is implied to be using Military Mages in the past as a quick way to take down any fortifications and to support their troops. The only reason why they've stopped doing that is because their siege equipment was intentionally developed to take down fortifications quick and cheap.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_f6e10f3e	comment	Big-Lipped Alligator Moment / Bizarro Episode: A few examples. Most notably, Ciri running into Gramps during her time and space jumps serves no purpose but adding an extra dark scene into a plot that already has no shortage of such.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_f8173bd9	type	Medieval European Fantasy
The Witcher (Franchise) / int_f8173bd9	comment	Medieval European Fantasy: A planned aversion of this trope. The architecture, fashions, and technology in general suggests a Late Medieval-like setting, but characters talk about concepts like racism, drug addiction and genetics. Sapkowski on numerous occasions commented that he tried to include things like existence of monsters and magic into the mindset of the characters, along with using hefty dose of satire and post-modernism. In his vision, wizards (who actually know how the world operates on a very low level) are more scientists than sages or flamboyant combat specialists. In fact, responding to numerous accusations that his stories are not "period-accurate", Sapkowski has pointed out that fantasy takes place in an entirely fictional world, with a history, geography, culture etc. unlike our own. Nothing, not even individual words of a language can "realistically" be the same, as fantasy is not necessarily a recreation of anything "real" by the very definition. Sapkowski has used the Polish word for "king" as an example, the word being originally derived from Charlemagne's name, and thus impossible to exist in a fantasy world where Charlemagne never lived. Yet no-one seems to complain that fantasy works use the word "king". While fantasy is often inspired by Middle Ages, Sapkowski reasons that there's no "requirement" for it to follow any real-world logic. It can be as close or as distant from the real world as desired, and there's nothing "unrealistic" about, say, a peasant girl wearing underwear in the modern sense.

The Witcher (Franchise) / int_f97ad4fe	type	Standard Fantasy Races
The Witcher (Franchise) / int_f97ad4fe	comment	Standard Fantasy Races: Humans are the most common race in the world, having the largest number of nations and often dominating the others through sheer numbers, despite having been one of the most recent groups to develop civilization and having only entered the world relatively recently to begin with. Dwarves are known for their strength, battle prowess and mechanical skill, and are one of the oldest civilizations in the setting. Elves are the most magically inclined and technologically advanced race, but their empires fell long ago and they've been in decline ever since. Dragons are intelligent but reclusive beings, and often hunted by the humanoid races.
