Welcome to the first in a series of videos that will explain the world of The Witcher. Learn about The Continent and the great kingdoms that lay claim to the lands within, from the Southern Empire of Nilfgaard, to the great Northern Kingdoms, to the isles of Skellige and the arid steppes of Haakland. The video is meant to act as a general guide in exploring the geopolitical landscape of the Witcher Universe. Let me know which kingdom is your favorite in the comments below, as well as suggestions for future videos. Until next time, go forth and explore the lore!

I have to say, tackling the Witcher universe is no small feat especially for a channel your size. I would never claim to be an expert but I’d like to mention I’ve read all the books twice. I’d like to tell you that despite your channel’s small size, you did an extremely fantastic job for the introduction to this series. I’m subscribing to follow along. Job well done!!

And this video was just ideal for this purpose! Well done!

I love the care and detail put into to the video. I was afraid, that this was going to use the Netflix series as basis of the lore, which makes up the lore as it goes and contradicts itself. I'm glad you took the game/book route. Great job! Keep them coming.

@hollowtomato
@hollowtomato 3 года назад
@@TheLorebrarians A solid plan. The games took great care adapting the universe from the books. They are pretty much in line with the books in terms of the lore. My guess is that the Netflix series will be drifting further from the source material in the future seasons. This might cause confusion to people who've only seen the show, but a simple disclaimer probably fixes that issue.

Huge Witcher fan, I'm well versed with the books and games (and now Netflix series, I guess 🙄)... This is the best video I've seen yet on the geographic explanation of the Continent, and does a fabulous job at touching on the when/why/how of the kingdoms' relationships with one another. Honestly, this would be the absolute first place to send some one who just watched the Netflix series and would want to know more about the world of the Witcher. Very well done, man 👏👏 I've seen maps that cover it by taking a similar map and circling/calling attention to specific cities, areas, etc., but I'd like to see a video detailing the locations in the books so that others could get a better understanding of where (and possibly when) all these stories too place. Again though, hats off the video. You're other ones on the Witcher are on point, too... keep doing what you're doing 👍

It's no secret these types of lore channels, which focus on Fantasy books/film/tv like LOTR, GOT, the Witcher, etc., are popping up everywhere lately so its easy to see a lot of content get rehashed multiple times to the point where it almost feels like channels are copying each other. Having just discovered your channel, I have to say, you have done an amazing job with the Witcher content. Well done. Subscribed.

Ill give ya the ez mode. There was these elf's long ago they were like the Lord of rings elf's magically even godly in a way. They started to run out of food. Even these elf's had ones who were super powerful power from their blood naturally no training in magic they just had it from birth. The elf leader had an advisor who was super elf mage and another elf who was super soldier. The super mage found a way to teleport to other worlds but as he did this monsters were released. He sent super warrior to go through and find food and other places to live. Eventually the supers turned on the king and took control cause they were bad. Elf's can't have kids after like the age of 8 for some reason. The elder blood of the elf's was starting to disappear. In the contenant that's what they call where everyone lives there is no name and the elf's are not from there they are from a different dimension there was a girl named ciri she had elder blood. See in this contenant which was gnome and dwarf only elf's went there but when they used the portal it made hans show up. You have elf's and humans who were in the south. The humans were nice guys and the elf's were not. They interbred and created new human elf race. Ciri is from this line of people. Now other humans who were not from the portal they sailed there somehow were up north. So now the elf's sent super soldier through the portal with his army the wild hunt. There's so much more but that's all you need to know to be honest. Everyone loves the Witcher and it's fine geralt is cool but ciri can literally yell and destroy the whole planet ciri is all that matters in the Witcher. She could literally look at geralt and he would explode

Games are fairly accurate represent the world and the story and have references to elements not represented in games itself since were done by true fans of Sapkowski. Books were and still are very popular in Poland. Playing without reading you lose nothing but when you do read you see background of the story (ah, so this is "the last wish" which bounds them, here was this monster Gerald killed in heap of manure etc). I haven seen TV series, I heard is good and fairly accurate BUT the story of the Witcher was wrote for long time and evolved from a very Eastern European, Slavic world to which Sapkowski add Western/international elements like elves or dwarves. I highly doubt you can experience this evolution in the film. In short: every piece can be takke separately but together they are a full dish.

@@mariuszfurman4767 The show is not fairly accurate. They changed quite a lot, especially how the magic works, made weird unnecessary changes to the story and changed some characters and added new ones. I did not enjoy the show, I found it to be quite bad in all honesty. Books and games are much much better. The show is all over the place as well. The CGI looks bad and some of the costumes look awful, especially the armour.

Books are great, and they start off the story. Witcher 1 video game picks up immediately after the end of the final book, so chronologically should read then play 1-3 and ignore the show it shits on the lore and simplifies it for mainstream audiences

Witcher lore is mostly based on Germanic folklore and mythology, (the fantasy parts not the political parts), which is why queen maeve always confused me being a character in Celtic Irish myth.
