Mages act as royal advisors in the world of The Witcher. Later the Brotherhood of Sorcerers meet to discuss which kingdoms the new recruits will be sent to. "This could destroy the throne," says Ostrit, a courtier loyal to Foltest, when Triss and Geralt show him the letters. "No matter how challenging the clay." Tissaia tells her to close her eyes and imagine the most powerful woman in the world. "Every girl I enchant leaves Aertuza a living work of art," a sorcerer says. Yennefer stands in a ring of fire before a mirror, studying her hunched body. Foltest is angry that Triss has asked a "mutant mercenary" for help, but she insists Geralt is the right man for the job-especially as there's a full moon tonight. Angered, he takes his wolf medallion and pays the king a visit, finding him locked away in the castle, gorging disgustingly on a chicken leg. Geralt also finds the body of the other witcher, realising Foltest hid the truth of his demise because he didn't want people to know the creature is powerful enough to best a witcher. And not just any woman, but Adda's daughter: a princess. The witcher studies the victims, their bodies preserved in salt, and deduces that the beast isn't a vukodlak, but a striga-a woman transformed into a monster by a curse. Triss says the creature has been coming from the crypt of Foltest's sister, Adda. But the spirited sorceress doesn't want to kill it-she wants to save it. Triss, who will be very familiar to fans of the Witcher games, asks Geralt to help her deal with the beast. That is until a certain Triss Merigold shows up, sending the soldiers to sleep and freeing him. They order the miners to stand down and escort Geralt to the border. But before the uprising gets anywhere, Temerian soldiers arrive. They think their king, Foltest, is hiding in his castle, refusing to deal with the monster-which they're convinced is a vukodlak, a kind of werewolf.
They're wary of the witcher, but warm to him when Geralt says he'll take a third of the bounty-and after the monster has been slain.
The witcher rides to Temeria, which is in the grip of winter, and locates the miners. Geralt tells the man he'll be back soon with his money, and warns him not to touch his horse. The landlord bangs on the door, demanding payment for the room. Prepare for The Witcher season 2 with all of our episode guides:
