Welcome guys, Today we are gonna talk about Netflix series The Witcher.
Famous actor Henry Cavill played the character of Geralt of Rivia in the series.
Geralt is famous in the continent with many names such as The Witcher, The Butcher of
Blaviken, The White Wolf.
Well, first talk about the Witchers.
Who are Witchers?
Witchers are basically the mutants, created to kill monsters and trained at the School
of the Wolf.
Geralt of Rivia is one of them.
Lets talk about the origin of Geralt.
Geralt is the son of the sorceress Visenna and, the warrior Korin, but when he was born
Visenna left him with the School of the Wolf at Kaer Morhen.
There, Geralt was trained and made to be a witcher.
He survived the many blistering mutations required to grant witchers their abilities
and passed the Trial of the Grasses.
During the Trial of the Grasses, Geralt showed unusual tolerance for the mutagens that grant
witchers their abilities.
Accordingly, Geralt was subjected to further experimental mutagens which turned his hair
white and may have given him greater speed, strength, and stamina than his fellow witchers.
How did he get the title of Geralt of Rivia?
Despite his title, Geralt did not hail from the city of Rivia.
After being left with the witchers by his mother, Visenna, he grew up in their keep
of Kaer Morhen in the realm of Kaedwen.
In the interest of appearing more trustworthy to potential clients, young witchers were
encouraged to make up surnames for themselves by Master Vesemir.
As his first choice, Geralt chose "Geralt Roger Eric du Haute-Bellegarde", but this
choice was dismissed by Vesemir as silly one so "Geralt" was all that remained of his chosen
name.
"Of Rivia" was a more practical alternative and Geralt even went so far as to adopt a
Rivian accent to appear more authentic.
Later, Queen Meve of Lyria knighted him for his bravery in the Battle for the Bridge on
the Yaruga and gave him the formal title "of Rivia", and made him a true knight.
Geralt was eventually put through the Trial of Forest Eyes, where he was left tied up
in the woods and blindfolded and needed to return to the keep by the morning or he would
fail.
He was helped by the elf Aideen, where they went to look at the non-human reservation
to find the camp had been attacked by vrans.
They then left and came across some Cat School.
Aideen then unbound Geralt and left him to return to his master.
Due to his brilliant success in training, Geralt was selected for additional mutation
experiments.
He was the only witcher to have survived these experiments, his stark white hair being a
side effect of these additional mutations.
After finishing his witcher training, Geralt set off into the world on a horse named Roach,
a name he gave to every horse he had after that.
In this way, he became a monster slayer for hire.
Geralt of Rivia is not only famous for his battling and fighting skills but he is one
of the wise witchers in the continent who has ability to solve the mysteries and puzzles
around him.
The way he solved the case of daughter of King Foltest of Temeria and saved her from
the curse is the example of it.
Despite his cold nature, Dandelion noted that behind his exterior was hiding a fiercely
loyal friend.
Geralt has many good friends all over the Northern Realms, such as Caldemeyn of Blaviken,
Zoltan Chivay, and of course Dandelion.
He is also very loyal to his friends and companions, and is willing to go to great lengths for
those who matter to him.
He's very kind-hearted and caring to the people he loves.
Now let’s take a look at the Geralt’s confusing timeline in the show.
Actually the show has written deliberately in a way to confuse the viewers and to put
many twists and turns when viewers don’t even expect.
After the struggle of many hours we’ve found out that the Geralt’s story is about 20
to 22 years long.
When Geralt’s again visited Cintra in the second last episode of the 1st season it was
after 12 years.
It means that there’s 12 years difference between his both visits to Cintra and 8 years
difference between 1st and 4th episode.
Executive producer of the show Lawrnce schmit told in an interview that Geralt is already
100 years old when show starts.
She also told that they tricked the audience so they believe that everything in show is
happening simultaneously.
I hope you guys will be not that much confuse as you were before watching this video.
In the next season of The Witcher they are gonna reveal the character of Trainer of Geralt,
Master Vesemir and few more to make the season more tricky and interesting.
So if they do we’re here to solve this problem.
