![]() In the ensuing melee, Deidre slays Bringgs and carelessly slashes Eskel across the face, while the remaining three witchers are forced to kill all the mercenaries. However, when attempting to finalise the deal with Merwin and Sabrina, tempers flare and violence breaks out. Should Geralt choose to shelter Deidre, the witchers convince her to give up her royal claim in hope of a peaceful solution with Merwin. If Geralt refuses to promise that the witchers will not be involved, then Deidre is slain two years later by Eskel, who claims no reward or recognition for ending her reign of terror. In the resultant autopsy, no abnormalities are found. Should Geralt give his word that the witchers will remain out of Sabrina's way, she will eventually track down and execute Deidre. Sabrina heals Eskel's stomach wound, but she demands the witchers completely excuse themselves from Deidre's fate. For the next two years, Deidre rampages across southern Kaedwen, killing and terrorising the population as an outlaw. If Geralt chooses to evict Deidre, she lashes out at Eskel, lacerating his face and stabbing him in the gut before fleeing. Alternatively, he can choose to convince the witchers to protect Deidre, and force Merwin and Sabrina to let her be, even if this risks earning the ire of Henselt in the process. He can sway the witchers to hold to their neutrality and deny Deidre sanctuary within Kaer Morhen, casting her out the fortress to fend for herself against Sabrina's machinations. He will also have time to hear the stories of both Deidre and Sabrina, and get to know both much better before finally making his decision. Geralt has ample opportunity to consult with his fellow witchers: Eskel, Lambert and Vesemir who are all wintering at the old fortress, all with differing views on how to approach the matter in respect to their witcher neutrality. She wishes to vivisect Deidre and discover the truth behind the Black Sun prophesy, while Deidre's younger brother Merwin desires to ensure that she is not a threat to his rule in Caingorn or position in Henselt's court. Sabrina believes Deidre is cursed, evil and extremely dangerous to any who encounter her. She is Eskel's surprise child, after he saved her father's life years prior, but never came back to claim her for witcher training. The party is trying to find and capture a young woman who has claimed refuge within the witchers' fortress.īorn under the Black Sun and prophesied to ruin the world, the young woman at the heart of the matter is Deidre, the rightful heir to the throne of Caingorn due to its non-discriminatory laws of succession. One could count on one hand the number of non-witchers who know the way.Īt the camp, Geralt meets prince Merwin Ademeyn of Caingorn and a sorceress named Sabrina Glevissig, who, along with a band of mercenaries commanded by the dwarf Merton Bringgs, are travelling under the protection of a royal decree signed by Henselt, the king of Kaedwen and the suzerain of Caingorn. This comes as quite a surprise since the way to Kaer Morhen is a closely guarded secret. Set in the fall of 1232 in the valley surrounding Kaer Morhen, the ballad finds Geralt coming back to the witchers' home for the winter when he unexpectedly spies a small camp just outside the stronghold. Naturally, the patrons wish to hear a ballad and so he sings the lay of the "Bitter, Evil Hearts". ![]() The famous bard Dandelion has stopped by at an inn.
