The Witcher The Swallow and The Monster

Something Ends, Something Begins

And what of the others you might ask? Well I'd be happy to say:

The 3rd Northern War ended - the invader from the South achieved complete victory. Robbed of Radovid's tactical genius, the Northern Realms could not withstand Emhyr's countless legions.  Black banners appeared all over Novigrad and all of Redania.

Weary of rebel raids, Emhyr var Emreis conceded, restoring Temeria as a realm in liege to the empire. When the guerillas laid down their arms, the emperor shifted his forces to other fronts. Through Nilfgaards victory, Temerians got their country back, and history once again proved a consummate trickster.

Having dealt with Radovid, Emhyr var Emreis did the same with enemies domestic. The emperor's loyal spies named all who had conspired against him - traders, soldiers, aristocrats alike. Though their mutiny had been a murky plan, the emperor showed no. As was his want. The White Flame would dance on the graves of his foes yet again.

Whoreson Junior, one of the most vile men in all of Novigrad, if not the entire continent. Took a most unexpected turn. Claiming to have found salvation in the Eternal Fire. He brought in mountains of coin through his fair trade and many businesses. He soon became one of the most envied merchants in all of the continent. Few wondered what brought about the sudden change in his demeanor. Even fewer knew the true reason behind the change.
