The story begins with Geralt of Rivia, Crown Princess Ciri of Cintra, and the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg at different points of time, exploring formative events that shape their characters throughout the first season, before eventually merging into a single timeline.
Geralt and Ciri are linked by destiny since before she was born when he unknowingly demanded her as a reward for his services by invoking "the Law of Surprise". After the two finally meet, Geralt becomes the princess's protector and must help her and fight against her various pursuers to prevent her Elder Blood and powerful magic from being used for malevolent purposes and keep Ciri and their world safe.

I became completely hooked on the channel after watching my first recap. Now, it's my preferred way to watch new seasons. Before any new season, I look for a summary of the past seasons here and dive into the new story. I really wish the channel would become even bigger. I make sure to like every video I watch, hoping to help it grow quickly.

📌I'm trying to think why I'm so confused by all these factions whereas in Game of Thrones, I understood each faction completely and what they wanted. Is it the writing? The dialogue? Perhaps the culture and personalities in GoT are more distinct? Perhaps the character motivations are more clear? Perhaps the plot is tighter and more focused? Anybody else have the same thought?

@gl9520 11 ай бұрын

Often wonder the same. I think it’s the pacing. For much of early, GOT, pacing was very steady, linear, and somewhat slow. There may be a whole episode on a single faction, or at least 30 minutes uninterrupted. Also they were more aesthetically distinguishable. Architecture, fashion, personality traits, accent. As far as story line… if you understood who the lannisters were, and who the Starks were… that got you about 80% there. You then had several seasons to develop a broader understanding of the big picture through individual character development. You could go from despising someone to loving them in a couple of episodes. Those are my thoughts on it…

@mmheedunno 11 ай бұрын

GOT is forever unmatched

@apex3d595 11 ай бұрын

Can someone explain how the law of surprise? And why Gerald even takes ciri in?

@DaZeDJareD 11 ай бұрын

Cause she was in danger

@evemiddleton-meyer2620 11 ай бұрын

Law of surprise which states that one party must give another something that they have but do not yet know of. Could be anything, perhaps a bountiful harvest that came unexpectedly or a priceless heirloom someone was promised but hasn’t received yet. It’s always something that belongs to them but they don’t know about yet. Seems to be one method of showing gratitude kind of akin to saying someone owes you a favour. In the case of Ciri and Gerald, Gerald helped her parents get together so dunie offered Gerald the law of surprise as thanks, not knowing that his new bride was already pregnant making Ciri the gift they already had but did not yet know of. So by the law Ciri belongs to Gerald. At first he doesn’t want her because why would he want a random baby he’s a Witcher. But then as the war is about to break out, he realizes that the little princess is in danger and goes back to them to take her under his wing and protect her. Ciris grandmother at first refuses but then upon her death bed realizes Gerald may be the only person who can protect and take care of ciri just as he had the same realization earlier. So he takes in Ciri for two main reasons , one because the law of surprise made it so Ciri legally belonged to Gerald , in a place of magic this means that it was their destiny to be together whether they willed it or no due to the law of surprise. Secondly because he’s a good dude and didn’t want to see a child be murdered. Later he finds out how important she is too and this only increases his understanding that she must be protected and trained to fight
