Product Information

We Help the Helpless: Downplayed. Witchers travel the world seeking out monsters to fight and people to protect... as long as the pay is right and the risks manageable. Story wise, you are given very little lore or explanation of powers. I enjoyed the samurai bits and just took the Witcher moments for what they were. Dream Sequence: Multiple times in the books, sometimes overlapping with Mushroom Samba, always laden with foreshadowing. Most often happens to Ciri, but Geralt, Yennefer and Triss get their share of the fun too.

Fractured Fairy Tale: That’s what every single Witcher short story is in a nutshell, and elements of it are present in the novels and games. Slightly subverted, though: while standard fairy-tale plots are heavily deconstructed and characters are given morally grey personalities and complex motivations, laws of wonders and magic are working in accordance with fairy-tale logic – thus it is possible to dispel a curse with The Power of Love, for example.Aquí tenemos a un guionista polaco y a un dibujante japonés (aunque ha trabajado tan poco y hay muy poca información sobre él, ¿será real?), pero ¿acaso importa a la hora de comentar una obra? 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. 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.

Stefan Skellen’s Mauve Shirt squad is a textbook example. Comprised of people of all origins, nations, races and genders (including one person who is described as a hermaphrodite), it’s nevertheless a ruthless mercenary company. May have something to do with Skellen’s own combo of progressive democratic views and villainous personality.

Creature-Hunter Organization: The eponymous Witchers hunt all kinds of monsters, but specifically those who invaded the world after the Conjunction of the Spheres. They would fall under the phlebotinum-powered subtype, since they are genetically enhanced since childhood and have a number of supernatural traits to complement their Training from Hell. Dying Race: Elves, though it's partly their own goddamn fault. The Witchers too, granted they are technically still human ( to bad the general public didn't get the memo). One-Man Army: All witchers, many mages and also some human warriors like Leo Bonhart and, later in the series, Ciri.
