In today's Witcher Lore video I discuss Eredin The King of The Wild Hunt. The Witcher 3 is where most of you will known Eredin from, but today I will go over Eredin's full story in the witcher games and witcher books and I will also discuss Eredin's origins as well as some of the changes CDPROJEKTRED made to his character in the witcher 3 wild hunt. Eredin is one of the few characters in the witcher that appears not only in the witcher 1, the witcher 2 and the witcher 3, but also appears in the witcher books. More specifically Eredin is present when Ciri travels to the world of the aen elle with Avallac'h, in the the witcher book the lady of the lake. Find out all of this and more in today's witcher lore video where I discuss Eredin Bréacc Glas The King of The Wild Hunt or Red Riders and King of The Aen Elle.
The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven, next-generation open world role-playing game, set in a visually stunning fantasy universe, full of meaningful choices and impactful consequences. You play as Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter tasked with finding a child from an ancient prophecy.
Geralt of Rivia, is a witcher, or monster hunter for hire, a white-haired and cat-eyed legend in his own time. Trained from early childhood and mutated to gain superhuman skills, strength and reflexes, witchers like Geralt are a natural consequence of and counterbalance to the monster-infested world in which they live. As Geralt, you’ll embark on an epic journey in a war-ravaged world that will inevitably lead you to confront a foe darker than anything humanity has faced so far-the Wild Hunt.
Built exclusively for next-generation hardware, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt marks a new era in RPG visual quality. Raising the bar for the entire genre, with its deeply integrated 5.1 audio and jaw-dropping graphics powered by CD PROJEKT RED’s proprietary REDengine 3, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt promises an entirely new kind of experience.

It is a shame, I think Eredin would make an awesome and menacing villain for the 3rd game if he wasn't so underdeveloped. They could have made him way more sympathetic like for example Letho, because his home is going to be destroyed by the white frost, but they almost just made him a cool looking elf with a cool voice. Really do like the design and voice though :)

@MachonyLeeoun 3 года назад

uh... they go to other dimensions and capture people to enslave them..

@marcoeland3405 3 года назад

there‘s nothing to make him sympathetic. They can‘t deny the books completely. They have already made Triss way more important than she is for the sake of fucking and reduced Yen to a simple bitch while she‘s actually so much closer to Geralt than the game implies. The whole myths behind Ciri‘s person come short, if you only play the game you get no idea of who she actually is with respect to literature and myths/legends..

@reilynooij6399 3 года назад

@@marcoeland3405 I do get that, and I'm reading the books. But this about the Witcher game, they can't stick for a 100 percent to the books because some thinks just don't work. There are characters in the Witcher games that are great that aren't even in the books. So if they gave a particular character like Eredin for example some more depth it wouldn't matter. If you like the books, but you think the games fall short on the lore, thats fine. But the games are a sequel on the books so I think a character can be changed a little bit, and go through some character changes. The games don't need to be exactly the same as the books, just capture the world, characters and overall feeling of the witcher.

@reilynooij6399 3 года назад

@@MachonyLeeoun Ok I'll put the word sympathetic differently (English isnt my native language so my choice of words might be a bit poorly with the word sympathetic).

But I think Imlerith, Caranthir, Ge'els and Eredin could be explored more.

He's a misterious alien figure to most anyways driven by power. And besides the main villain/objective was to overcome obstacles and help Ciri end the white frost. I mean why would they not develop Eredin but characters like Whoreson, Djiikstra and Radovid got character development. I think it was intended but maybe that's just me.

Isn't that exactly what Eredin is? Considering that he's trying to "save" his dying civilization, I'm willing to bet the Aen Elle think Eredin is "the good guy".

With Eredin, you never feel sympathy for his cause; you never feel his desperation, you never feel his regret, you never feel anything for him.

I was always under the impression that it was purposefully left ambiguous whether or not the vial that Eredin gave to Ciri actually aphrodisiac or secretly poison so that he could get Ciri to murder Auberon for him. Or, going further, perhaps he knew it was aphrodisiac and knew that the dose was too strong and would kill him. In either cause, I always thought that the books left it ambiguous on purpose whether or not Eredin was malicious and wanted Ciri to murder their king. If we are to go with the impression that he is, and that he did intend to have Ciri murder their king for him, then the lore between the books and the games lines up perfectly. Kind of like how in "The Lesser Evil" how its left ambiguous whether or not Geralt had actually loved Renfri or whether she had charmed him with a sort of spell as Stregobor claimed.

Whenever I hear "Avallac'h" I think about his lab that was used as a very real threat to Citi so not knowing the extent to Avallac'hs' cruelty but knowing it's there is unnerving at least. But at the same time perhaps Eredin was only being honest and upfront in these instances because the truth was fun for him to tell Citi and he seems to like a more defiant Citi, maybe he wouldn't have given her good news if he had it. . .I wish these characters where are developed more the Elves and Vampires are my favorites.

I think the point of the white frost is also that it makes the Aen Elle viewpoint way more sympathetic, I don't think Eredin (and the others) is purely evil. Without the white frost that just measns the Aen elle want access to the world of the Aen Seidhe so bad just to get more slaves, whereas with the white frost coming for them, it means they want the world of the Aen Seidhe so they can keep running from the white frost and survive as a species. It changes Eredins motivation from evil to being somewhat sympathetic, in his mind he is going to save his species from extinction.

@andreadebernardis4390 2 года назад

honestly? I loved him. He was a great villain, just like the Wild Hunt Eredin was underused because he wasn't, as I see it, meant to be he's the "face" of the Wild Hunt the stories about it make this more obvious to me everyone sees the Wild Hunt as a myth, wraiths riding in the sky and guiding boats of the dead and Eredin is at the top. He IS the Wild Hunt. and that's what I really love about him, though I have to admit I didn't like the way they revealed they were Elves, could've been handled better

@@ENASS922 No. He wasn't the hero you think he is, they wanted Ciri to be able to move the entire Aen Elle, currently the way the jump through worlds is limited, basically what they wanted was power. Yes, they want to save their race, that much is true, but they are also race supremacists, they keep human slaves, they genocide the human population when they arrived at that world (Ciri discovered the mass grave) and guess what they'll do if they got Ciri power and the ability to jump the entire Aen Elle agian? Yeah, I don't think so mate. He isn't a good dude nor noble in his intentions.

I wonder why the wild hunt didn’t just ask Siri to move them to a different world. She did say she saw worlds flying metal ships and others. Could have moved em to a young planet that navigators scouted out before hand.

such a shame they changed him in the game! In the books he is rude and arrogant, but ciri seems to be into that and has a crush on him! and the end scene in the books where he visits her in her dreams pretty much confirms he knows that and kind of threatens that he will catch her in the spiral.

@robertm5969 2 года назад

The game writers may have tried to make him seem more evil, but the book version would have actually been more ominous. An ideology is more threatening than a person, because it can live on after a person is killed. The book Eredin was following chain of command, and upholding an ideology. It would have been more interesting if they emphasized the differences in ideology: eternal enslavement of mankind, vs. freedom for humanity. They could go into detail of the history of the Wild Hunt's part in the misery for mankind, and how Eredin represents the turning point in whether it would envelope their world or not.

Great video!!! I love the witcher games...i am a gamer...but a bit of a picky gamer...ive never really gotten into call of duty...have played many and own like 4 of em...im just not a big "online player"....i prefer game franchises with EXCELLENT stories to play through...like the witcher...both rdr games and undead nightmare(rdr2 online is only online game i play)...fable...uncharted...assassins creed(mainly black flag/syndicate/odyssey)...etc...the witcher 3 wild hunt is 1 of my top 5 fav games of all time!!! I have the complete edition...w/ both hearts of stone and blood and wine...and both of those expansions r great!!! I will admit i have not read any of the witcher books...i honestly didnt even know they existed till like the 2nd game...i have watched the 1st season of the show several times and love it...if netflix keeps going how they r with the witcher...this could be the next game of thrones....except done right...hopefully....the wild hunt captivated me from the very beginning....i was shocked to find out they were elves....i was expecting em to be some kinda super spector like ghosts or maybe even demonic....the way they jump from world to world...and the ship in the sky and all that...but i still liked what they were when i found out what they were...

@Blastros01 Год назад

I think they were smart about how they approached the story telling. It's about the journey, not the ending. Eredin is an extremely simplified character so you're not overwhelmed with all of this lore building up for a character that you don't confront until 20+ hours in. It's good for a videogame's story but of course in a book the characters are usually much more complicated.

@christopherdcrus605 2 года назад

I hear what your saying regarding Eridin being a in the background villain but the game is call Witcher 3 Wild Hunt surely the King of the Wild Hunt and their leader should have been given a more prominent role in the game and received more focus because as a character I feel Eridin and his Wild Hunt are extremely interesting and their presence could have been utilised in a much better way. I love the game however and do love how there are lots of smaller villains to focus on which gives the gamer some variety and lots of interesting story plots to discover which keeps it fresh and exciting!

I suppose considering it’s avallac'h using Tilly to show what happened maybe he framed it as Eredin deliberately poisoning Auberon over accidentally overdosing as they where convincing Ge'els not to send back up when Eradin called.

@KimberlyKjellberg 4 года назад

I haven't gotten far enough into the books yet to know how he is presented there. But maybe they changed it to him outright murder Auberon because the it makes it more probably that Ge'els would agree to withhold support if it was murder and not an accident.

@andyknightwarden9746 4 года назад

I think that's the story Avalla'ach(sp?) spun to Ge'els, but I don't think it necessarily happened that way. Also, Ciri could have refuted the lie if she had been with them purely by recounting the shock on his face when she told him of Auberon's death, but she wasn't there. I always saw that bit of dialogue as a cleverly spun half-truth calculated to get the viceroy out of the way, so that Eredin could be dealt with on more even terms.

@KimberlyKjellberg 4 года назад

@@andyknightwarden9746 But it would take more than a cleverly spun half-truth he must also somehow muddle the oracle's dream, even if he is the one placing his hand on her, it's supposed to be something that can't be tampered with.
