A new series begins, after a suggestion on twitter I decided to do a new series where I tell you little stories from within the witcher universe! Today's subject is how Geralt earned the infamous title of the Butcher of Blaviken. If you want to find out why, be sure to watch today's video!

A quick disclaimer - A lot of these videos use information from the witcher wiki, in some cases I do read directly from the pages, I do always make sure to include my own thoughts and other information I know myself, but I just want to make sure everyone is on the same page here. Even though I use information from the wiki, I do still create the videos, with time, effort and a lot of editing! The idea behind the lore videos is to present to information to you guys in a fun and more interesting way then you guys having to get the information from pages and read it yourself. If anyone isn't okay with this I apologise, but since day one I have always said where I get the information from. Thank you for reading.

The thing is that in the books witchers are always aiming to hit some vital areas. They don't gonna impale someone on the sword. They try to hit only with a tip and cut arteries, etc. - not to lose momentum. Because of that, when the fight was over, Geralt was covered in blood from tip to toe. The whole fight area was just a pool of blood. Town people saw him as some kind of sadistic maniac. That's why they called him a "Butcher".

Dean Dawson She says she wasn’t, but I don’t trust her for shit. It was her plan all along to kill them, hoping the wizard would succumb. Why change that all of a sudden? I just think she said that to provoke Geralt, to either make him guilty after he kills her or to make him guilty and fight worse. She knew she was dead and her plan was in ruins, so doing whatever was in her power to provoke Geralt before she dies seems natural for a person like Renfri.

“‘Evil is evil, Stregobor,’ said the witcher seriously as he got up. ‘Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I’m not a pious hermit. I haven't done only good in my life. But if I’m to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.’” Quote by Geralt from the short story the video is about. And probably my favorite quote in the Witcher universe

“People," Geralt turned his head, "like to invent monsters and monstrosities. Then they seem less monstrous themselves. When they get blind-drunk, cheat, steal, beat their wives, starve an old woman, when they kill a trapped fox with an axe or riddle the last existing unicorn with arrows, they like to think that the Bane entering cottages at daybreak is more monstrous than they are. They feel better then. They find it easier to live.”

And if you know Geralt and his habits, you know that he alwas has female horses. And calls them Roach. He prefers mares over stallions. Can read that, I think, in The Last Wish, or Blood of the Elves. Not sure in which it is stated anymore. Of course the Black Stallion you get from Emhyr ist not a mare. And is still called Roach. But nonetheless, that's the only one known of that is NOT a mare.

Lesser Evil was such a fantastic story. I really loved it. Definitely my favorite. Renfri didn’t kill anybody, that’s why he’s called The Butcher of Blaviken, the towns people just thought he killed them for no reason. She explained his plans after she visited him and they had sex, so he went to the wizard and told him about her plan, he refuses to get out of the tower still so Geralt has to decide between killing the wizard, or killing Renfri and her rogues. He decides the “lesser evil” choice and kills the rogues in the middle of the town.

I understand it was for the sake of brevity but you really over-simplified why Geralt got the nickname. This was a fantastic short story focusing on the morally gray areas invariably involved in choices and the possible benefit of simply choosing not to get involved in situations where there are only evil options. Stregobor was important to the town and the alderman didn't want to lose him. The alderman also knew that Renfri was protected by her, to abbreviate, political connections. If the alderman threw her in prison or acted against her without proof of wrongdoing Blaviken would be sieged and burned to the ground. Geralt went to stop Renfri before she could follow through with her plan to massacre the people once they arrived there. The truth is the alderman would have rathered some of the people die before Renfri was killed so she could be charged with a crime. All said and done the perception of what happened was controlled to blame it on a personal spat with Geralt rather than a sanctioned act by Blaviken.

@voiavictor
@voiavictor 6 лет назад
Ughh, I know you wanted it short, but I think the whole gist of the butcher of blaviken is about Geralt's decision to stop or not Renfri. He has a lot of internal fighting regarding that. He doesn't just sleep with Renfri, he tries to make her see the way. Also, from here I think comes his statement that evil is evil, lesser, greater, midling,etc. That he would rather not choose at all, but ultimately he's forced to.

The sorcerer want her dead, she wanted him dead, Geralt didn't want to do either so her plan was to kill everybody in the market to draw the sorcerer out and Geralt figured it out. So rather then standing by, Geralt stopped her and the bandits by killing them (had no choice) and because her and her bandits didn't get a chance to kill anyone but everyone saw Geralt killing to them in what looked like an unprovoked attack, he got the title of butcher.

@KeytarArgonian
@KeytarArgonian 5 лет назад
I feel like you got a few bits wrong here... the gang never got a chance to kill anyone in the town. And the point was that 1. There was some question as to whether renfri really was cursed, was she really a mutant born of an evil prophesy? Or the victim of crackpot sorcerers and a wicked stepmother who happened to be born during an eclipse. And 2. Was renfri really going to butcher the town or not? When she returns after Geralt kills the gang she says she never intended to and stregobor laughed in her face and said ‘go ahead and kill everyone, I’m not coming out’ 3. That leads to the alderman (Geralts good friend) and the townsfolk driving him away and demanding he never return, and it not being known which was truly the lesser evil by killing renfri or stregobor when both wanted him to kill the other.

did geralt not actually step in before they were able to kill anyone? he did this because he wanted to protect the village, but the way he slaughtered them, merciless, brutal and efficient, like a monster made for killing gave him the nickname "Butcher of Blaviken" because the people did not feel protected, since to them there was no reason for Geralt killing them. They just saw that he started killing of a bunch of people without a reason. The only one who knew what Renfri was up to was Geralts friend, the bailiff.

You should have mentioned that she had carte blanche by the ruler of the region. Even if the guards of Blaviken had the kill to do something about it, they would have to answer to their ruler later. And Geralt got his title by said ruler because he had butchered a group of people he had given carte blanch. Essentially butchered his representatives.

The way he shows regret for the title and how it always seems to be implied that Gerald has killed innocent people and has a dark past, I always assumed he (for some unknown reason) Slaughtered an entire village (Blavikem) of innocent people. I Imagined it was probably he got tricked, into doing it or something. But no, he just killed some thugs inside a city? There was noting morally questionable about the actual origin of this title, which is honestly a huge letdown.

You forget to mention that he killed that entire gang in the space of about ten seconds, that's one of the reasons he's called butcher, he gets told there's no way he can take on multiple swordsmen and proceeds to slaughter them all in a few seconds in front of the entire town

I guess I need to read the story. Seems to me Geralt would have been better off staying out of this mess. Stregobor remains in his tower, and Renfri & Co kill all the townspeople. Why stop one evil and not the other? Renfri was done wrong at birth, thanks to him. Perhaps Geralt should have tricked the wizard into leaving his stronghold, so Renfri could finally have her revenge?

Do one on the history of Eldberg Lighthouse...who are he 2 wraiths who keep showing up to kill Geralt and what happens after Geralt kills the 'Phantom' because you hear very little about it after, and I don't like to think of maybe more assholes using it to loot ships that they cause to crash.

Thanks for the videos but one suggestion if i may. I think it'd be better not to use in-game videos on the background but photos only. It affects my concentration, i can't look at the video while listening you. =)

We'll see, I will include subtitles sometimes (as I will forget) but if I remember I will certainly make an effort, maybe just try and not read them haha

The information about blaviken comes from the first book. "The Last Wish" has a story called "greater evil" or something lile that can't quite remember. That story is how geralt got the name.

The main reason he is considered the butcher is because she was a noble given the right to do what ever she wanted to get done what she wanted. The town followed it he didn't and killed her not only breaking moral law but human law.

Kane Lindsey could be too. but mostly it is geralts gruesome kind of killing. The townsfolk watched him kill. They didn't know much about what was going on. And the difference between book and game witchers is that the book witchers always are efficient and try not to loose momentum. They aim for arterys and vulnerable organs - without impaling you. Everything was covered in blood. Imagine someone straight up killing something like 8 people by cutting theier arterys. Think about all the blood and nobody knew why. They saw a monster - without regrets, disgust or anything other - kill 8 people. Understandebal why they call him butcher.

So he just killed a bunch of bad guys in a public area and was called that? That's lame...it would've been a better story if the sorcerer was evil, secretly cursed the whole village, and have it set off until a certain eclipse. The girl was chosen to stop that certain eclipse from happening, but was confused growing up because everyone thought she was going to be evil (Sorcerer's other plan to stop her from disrupting his evil plan). Long story short: villagers banish her, she wants answers why people hate her, Geralt arrives, Sorcerer wants Geralt's protection (basically using him), Geralt meets the girl, kills her by accident, Sorcerer reveals evil plan, triggers the certain eclipse curse, villagers turn into monsters, Geralt has no choice to kill all the turned villagers, then kills the Sorcerer, then later Geralt leaves. In the end, news catches on how Geralt killed the entire village of Blaviken, thus given him the name "Butcher of Blaviken."
