| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) | comment |
The seventh and final book in The Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski, originally in Polish (original title: Pani Jeziora).Through the actions of men like Redanian spymaster Sigismund Dijkstra, the Nordling kingdoms finally start to get their act together in war with Nilfgaard. However, these distant events bear little importance to the heroes. Geralt, in his search for the druidic coven that may have the knowledge of Ciri's location, finds his way into the mountainous kingdom of Toussaint. As it turns out, Dandelion is already well-known to the locals, who also have a need for a professional monster hunter. Meanwhile, Ciri is trapped in the oneirous world she's entered through the Tower of the Swallow. But, can any trap hold the Blood of Lara Dorren? | |

Does This Remind You of Anything? | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_14ed6ab7 | comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: When Geralt and Dandelion see the host of famished and abused Nilfgaardian settlers as they are being expelled from the Northern kingdoms after the Peace of Cintra, they witness scenes highly reminiscent of the flight and expulsion of the German population from the territories given to Poland after the Second World War and from the Sudeten borderland of Czechoslovakia. The brutal pogrom against the elfs and dwarfs in Rivia shortly after the end of the war (in which both nations actively helped the people of Rivia) bears an uncanny similarity to the Kielce pogrom of July 1946 in which local Polish soldiers and civilians killed several dozens of Jews recently returned from Nazi concentration camps. | |

The Wild Hunt | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_171edb09 | comment |
The Wild Hunt: It finally turns out that it's the Aen Elle, elves living in another world (elves of the Witcherworld being known as Aen Seidhe), who travel between the dimensions to kidnap humans for later enslavement. Their leaders led the aforementioned eugenic experiments, until they were derailed by Lara Dorren's love affair with a human. When her powers resurfaced in her distant descendant - Ciri - they decided they want their results back in their hands. | |

Chekhov's Gun: The amulet Fingilla Vigo gives Geralt turns out to be not that great at detecting magical auras and warning of danger, which irritates Geralt slightly. He revises his opinion after it saves his life during his final fight with Vilgefortz by casting an illusion spell to prevent Vilgefortz's blows from landing long enough for Geralt to recover and make a fatal strike. | |

Cursed with Awesome | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: Everyone wants a piece of Ciri, because her elven blood happens to give her (or any future child of hers) awesome magical powers, even if she herself has only the barest grasp of them; the elves want her to help them restore their race to glory; Nilfgaard's Emperor believes she or her child is the only thing that will save the world from an impending apocalypse; and Vilgefortz can see no end of possibilities once he extracts her power from her. | |

| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_362bdb30 | comment |
Out-Gambitted: Pretty much everyone who had their own plot regarding Ciri ends up being played one way or another, usually by random events they refuse or can't adjust toward. But in one particular case, it's a result of a deliberate action: the Lodge of Sorceresses gets not just mislead, but pranked, making them chase wind and making a laughstock of themselves for millenia to come. | |

Stable Time Loop | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_37690091 | comment |
Stable Time Loop: While Ciri travels The Multiverse in search of her home, she receives unexpected help from two sorceresses from her future. How exactly it worked is a bit complicated. Upon researching the Legend of the Unexpected Child, they realized that being lost between times and spaces, she can be practically anywhere - thus, she may appear to them just as well as anywhere else. By some effort on their side they summon her, and show her the way to her destiny - the Very Definitely Final Dungeon. | |

Wretched Hive: The City of Rivia is, as always, a place of scum and villainy, which is furthered by the Second Nilfgaardian War. There's a lot of poverty going around and racial tensions are at an all-time high. It erupts in a bloody pogrom that claims the lives of both Geralt and Yennefer. | |

Bittersweet Ending: After all the struggle Geralt finally rescues both Ciri and Yennefer and decides to quit his job and settle down, but all his friends who were helping him save for Dandelion die. He decides to defend victims of pogrom for the last time and is killed in the process. Yennefer tries to heal him but also dies of exhaustion. It all takes place before Ciri's eyes and she can't save her foster parents. On the bright side, Geralt and Yennefer are reunited in the afterlife while Ciri escapes her arranged marriage and gets a Maybe Ever After ending with Galahad. | |

Dropped a Bridge on Him: The entire hanse - save Geralt and Dandelion (who stayed behind) - die very suddenly during the battle at Stygga. And then Geralt gets seemingly killed by a random guy with a pitchfork and Yennefer apparently dies failing to heal him. Additionally, Coën is killed off off-screen in the Battle of Brenna with his corpse being brought to the nearest hospital camp. | |

Ciri forces Bonhart to look at her as she watches him bleed to death, so the sight of her unafraid of him is the last image Bonhart takes with him to hell. | |

Just a moment later, Yennefer (who also duked it out with aforementioned omnipotent sorcerers and stood up to an entire coven of witches) apparently dies from magical overexertion while trying to heal him. | |

No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_6c0e5342 | comment |
While forced to dine with Vilgefortz, and the mad sorcerer is trying to trying to break Yennefer's spirit by claiming Ciri is dead and his men have killed Geralt, Yenn promptly calls him on his bullshit, pointing out that the absence of the more brutal of his entourage, such as Rience and Schirrú in torturing her and the more fearful manner of his remaining guards indicates that Geralt and Ciri are not only still alive, but that they've likely killed a good many of Vilgefortz's underlings in the process. She also sneers that Vilgefortz is desperately clutching at straws because with Ciri having escaped his grasp, his plans are in ruins and it's only a matter of time before his enemies in the north and Nilfgaard track him down. It works so effectively that Vilgefortz can only splutter angrily and threaten her with violence in response. | |

And the Adventure Continues: The book ends with Ciri agreeing to accompany Galahad to Camelot, and musing to herself there must be some kind of work a Witcher could do in that world. | |

Bond Villain Stupidity | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_7570a10c | comment |
Bond Villain Stupidity: Vilgefortz, despite having Geralt entirely at his mercy, thinks it's a wonderful idea to initiate armed combat rather than vaporizing him with a spell, resulting in his own death. However, the last time they met, he all but humiliatingly beat the witcher into a bloody pulp, providing a precedence. | |

Consummate Liar: Elf sage Avallac'h. He spins the tale about how Aen Elle need Ciri's powers in order to save the inhabitants of her world from impending apocalypse. Turns out they are power-hungry conquerors just wanting an option to kill and enslave in every existing universe. | |

"The Reason You Suck" Speech | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_7d89315b | comment |
"The Reason You Suck" Speech: When Leo Bonhart comes into her cell to brag about the fact he's killed three Witchers in his time and plans to do the same to Geralt, Yennefer dismisses his claims as utter lies, deriding Bonhart as a smug piece of shit and a opportunist who only picks fights he can win, and the only way he could have killed witchers was either in his dreams or by fighting dirty, and that Bonhart doesn't stand a chance against Geralt. A furious Bonhart tries to rape Yennefer in response, only to get utterly humiliated when Yennefer fights back. While forced to dine with Vilgefortz, and the mad sorcerer is trying to trying to break Yennefer's spirit by claiming Ciri is dead and his men have killed Geralt, Yenn promptly calls him on his bullshit, pointing out that the absence of the more brutal of his entourage, such as Rience and Schirrú in torturing her and the more fearful manner of his remaining guards indicates that Geralt and Ciri are not only still alive, but that they've likely killed a good many of Vilgefortz's underlings in the process. She also sneers that Vilgefortz is desperately clutching at straws because with Ciri having escaped his grasp, his plans are in ruins and it's only a matter of time before his enemies in the north and Nilfgaard track him down. It works so effectively that Vilgefortz can only splutter angrily and threaten her with violence in response. | |

Breather Episode | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_80a247a9 | comment |
Breather Episode: The hanse's stay at Beauclair. Which is more or less a lot of Padding. It's even lampshaded with a quote from Rudyard Kipling. Justified in-story as them needing time to recuperate from their adventures in the previous book, by winter almost completely blocking the mountain passes which connect that country to the rest of the world, and by Fringilla trying everything she can to keep Geralt there until spring on orders of the Lodge. | |

Gainax Ending: Geralt and Yen seemingly die... and they are on the island of Avalon at the same time? Or is it the afterlife? Avalon? And Ciri leaves for Camelot, with Galahad?. Lampshaded and foreshadowed at the very beginning of the book by an Audience Surrogate character, discussing in-universe legend about Geralt and Ciri some hundreds of years in the future — she grudges she hoped for Happily Ever After fairy-tale like ending, and was dampened by the real one. | |

Badass Boast This gem by Vilgefortz: Another one from Regis, drunk on blood, who at this point had to assure Geralt that no, actually he didn't mean it literally: Geralt has, curiously, a nonverbal equivalent of a boast when he unshackles Yennefer (who has a collar on her neck) with a single sword-strike. | |

| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_890d4ef2 | comment |
Humiliation Conga: Bonhart gets a spectacular one at Yennefer's hands when he tries to rape her for deriding him as a coward: despite getting beaten in the process, Yennefer stabs him in the face with a stolen fork, only missing his eye by inches, breaks his nose and hits him in the balls with well placed kicks, and cuts his face to ribbons with the edges of her shackles. Her guards also refuse to help Bonhart get some payback on her because they don't want her to inform on them to the approaching Geralt. | |

Saharan Shipwreck | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_8aae41e3 | comment |
Saharan Shipwreck: Castle Stygga is far, far away from any large body of water, yet is surrounded by scores of shipwrecks. About 16 years earlier Vilgefortz set up a teleport in the sea next to Cintran shore, used by Emhyr (who was back then pretending to be a knight named Duny) to fake his, Pavetta's and Ciri's death. Problem is, infant Ciri wasn't on board and Pavetta died for real when the teleport malfunctioned. Ever since, Vilgefortz had no reason or need to disable the teleport, so it's sucking any unfortunate ships passing over it and crashes them right next to the castle, getting less and less stable with each transport. | |

Villain of Another Story: Eredin and the Aen Elle. They play a tremendous role in the saga's backstory, and they have plans for Ciri that will have enormous ramifications for both the Witcher world and multiverse, but at most, they only serve as the Arc Villains for a relatively small section of the book, and disappear from the story completely once she escapes them and returns to her world. | |

Guess what Ciri does the moment she is told that she has to part with Geralt and Yennefer again. It actually makes Emhyr abort all his plans for Ciri, turn around, and leave. | |

There's just one little problem: King Auberon isn't able to properly sleep with her, either due to his physical disgust of her human nature, or his own natural impotence brought about by age. And most likely a combination of both. | |

Hope Spot | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_c3c18143 | comment |
Hope Spot: With Bonhart and Vilgefortz dead, Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer try to make their way out of Castle Stygga. Steffan Skellen and his thugs remain, but none of them stand a chance against the trio, despite their exhaustion. It seems like they're all about to leave the ruined castle and see the sky together just like they want to... only for the Nilfgaardians to march in. | |

"End Is Nigh" Ending: Ciri cheerfully fails to fulfill her destiny of saving the world (or at least, its inhabitants) from the impending global glaciation. | |

No Sneak Attacks | |

No Sneak Attacks: What kills Bonhart: he was inches from stabbing Ciri in the back when he lets loose a shriek of rage, giving Ciri enough warning to dodge the attack and then kill him. | |

Post-Final Boss: After both Bonhart and Vilgefortz bite it; Geralt and Ciri have to fight through Stefan Skellen and his squad to make their way out of the castle. They barely even slow down much to Skellen's understandable frustration. | |

Lower-Deck Episode: The battle is shown through the eyes of multiple minor characters (both appearing for the first time or having figured in the previous books) having their 15 minutes of fame one after another. And most of them die. Horribly. | |

Cannibal Larder | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_d791dbbb | comment |
Cannibal Larder: While travelling between worlds, Ciri is attacked by a lecherous old man called Gramps. After killing him, Ciri enters his house, finds the mutilated corpse of a child clearly cut up for consumption and realises she would have suffered the same fate had the guy not tried to rape her first instead of merely killing her. | |

Inelegant Blubbering: Ciri is reduced to this after the fight in Vilgefortz' tower when she realizes she's not only expected to go with Emhyr, but will never see Geralt and Yennefer again. Emhyr, who had been willing to - if not particularly looking forward to - have sex with his own daughter to get her pregnant, finds his resolve failing when he see this, and he not only gives up on that plan, but sends Ciri back to her 'parents'. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_eb8f64a6 | comment |
No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: During a pogrom, Geralt decides not to kill a terrified peasant that was trying to kill him (and some non-humans) a moment ago. Then, Geralt gets stuck in the crowd for a moment, and the peasant takes the opportunity to stab him, with seemingly fatal results, with a pitchfork. | |

Dwindling Party | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_ed68bcc9 | comment |
Dwindling Party: One by one, every member of the hanse dies. Milva engages in a Mutual Kill against an enemy archer, Cahir is slain in a personal duel by Leo Bonhart, Angouleme takes a deep stab to the thigh and bleeds out, and Regis is incinerated by Vilgefortz. Sometime after the battle, even Geralt and Yennefer die, leaving Ciri all by herself. | |

Mundane Utility | |
| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_eff83d77 | comment |
Mundane Utility: Once she gets a hang of her own powers, Ciri simply does a bit of sight-seeing and then finds herself a cosy, safe-spot to finally get some rest after being chased like an animal for past few years. | |

| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_f03aae7f | comment |
Your Other Left: Poor Fucking Infantry being what it is, gets mostly trained in marching. As the recruits almost entirely come from the lowest of low and rural bumpkins, they end up with the "hay-straw" routine to teach them left foot from the right onenote Notably, this lead to a Popcultural Osmosis Failure in Poland, since it's an American Civil War thing, with no similar occurence ever recorded in Poland. | |

Together in Death: Geralt dies when stabbed with a pitchfork and Yennefer dies trying to save him. There is one final scene afterwards where they get to be together on a secluded island. Of course, the three games and Word of God confirm that they came Back from the Dead. | |

Feed the Mole: Geralt gives Fringilla false information on the location of Vilgefortz's lair, knowing she'll report it to the Lodge of Sorceresses. The Lodge promptly goes racing off to the location Fringilla provides, only to learn too late Geralt duped them with a false trail so he could get to Ciri and Vilgefortz without their interference. | |

| Lady of the Lake (Sapkowski) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: A major one from Emperor Emhyr. After explaining to Geralt that he intends to marry his biological daughter, Ciri, and sire an heir with her, and that the Witcher and Yennefer can't be allowed to live on account of knowing too much, he makes a promise to the latter that he will never make Ciri cry. He holds true to it; Ciri starts crying almost immediately upon hearing what will happen, prompting him to abandon his plan on the spot. He lets her go back to her parental figures and departs, leaving the three of them to live their lives however they see fit. | |
