11/6/2022 0 Comments Geralt the witcherGeralt survived numerous mutations during the Trial of the Grasses, through which he gained practically superhuman physical and mental abilities (increased reflexes, speed, strength and enhanced hearing) surprisingly well. Shortly after being born, Geralt was taken by his mother to the Wolf School - the Kaer Morhen stronghold (from Elder Speech Caer a'Muirehen meaning "Fortress of the Old Sea"). Geralt was the son of sorceress Visenna and (presumably) a warrior called Korin. Geralt in the comic book, drawn by Bogusław Polch The following is taken from the original comics, not the Sapkowski saga Then he proceeded to be knighted the third time when he received the Aerondight. Or, jokingly, he was knighted the second time as Sir Bonehead and later cancelled. In the events of The Witcher, he was knighted a second time by Lady of the Lake and received the Aerondight as the badge of office. He, therefore, became a true knight of Lyria. Later, Queen Meve of Lyria knighted him for his valour in the Battle for the Bridge on the Yaruga conferring on him the formal title "of Rivia", which amused him. "Of Rivia" was a more practical alternative, and Geralt even went so far as to adopt a Rivian accent to appear more authentic. As his first choice, Geralt chose "Geralt Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarde", but this choice was dismissed by Vesemir as silly and pretentious, so "Geralt" was all that remained of his chosen name. In the interest of appearing more trustworthy to potential clients, young witchers were encouraged to make up surnames for themselves by master Vesemir. After being left with the witchers by his mother, Visenna, he grew up in their keep of Kaer Morhen in the realm of Kaedwen. Geralt is known also as Gwynbleidd ( Elder Speech meaning "The White Wolf", a name which was given to him by the dryads), as well as the Butcher of Blaviken, after an unfortunate incident in that city.ĭespite his title, Geralt does not hail from the city of Rivia. By the events of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (in 1272), Geralt is "nearly a century old" according to mentor Vesemir. As an itinerant monster hunter for hire, he possesses nearly superhuman abilities and expert swordsmanship skills. #GERALT THE WITCHER SERIES#The witcher Geralt of Rivia (Polish: Geralt z Rivii) is the main protagonist of the Witcher series of books by Andrzej Sapkowski and its multimedia adaptations (including CD Projekt RED's The Witcher game series).
