The Wild Hunt are one of the most deadly factions within the world of The Witcher. Known throughout the realms as just a part of folk lore, to many they were just a story that you would tell to scare people. However, their true nature was devastating for humanity all over the multiverse.
But where did the Wild Hunt come from? Why did they form? What was their ultimate goal and what happened to them in the end?
In this video we look at the ghostly raiders who would enslave you and freeze your village. This is the lore behind The Wild Hunt.

Hope you guys enjoyed this look into The Witcher universe! I’d love to do more so do let me know your thoughts on it!

Im very down for Witcher lore, not many larger channels have even touched it. Free relistate. Do you find more interest in the deep Mythical type of lore, or the Biological nightmare kinda lore. Say mutants and gross vs magic and legends. Some franchises like Warhammer have both. Which is your preference if you can even chose, just curious. I bounce between You Roanoke and Lutin for a good mixture Of it all.

Then we made tv series (we...I mean Polish) which was absolutely horrible...and finally guys from CD Project made it known for the rest of the world thanks to video game. So cool to see next generations falling into this story. Awesome.

@@bezveze2825how's it a stupid comparison when they're topic related? A. Cyberpunk is made by the same the same game studio that makes the Witcher games. B. The actor who plays Geralt is leaving the Witcher and taking a role in a Warhammer 40k show. C. It's definitely funny to think about if you have a semblance of humor and enough knowledge about the three verses.

I have yet to read the Witcher novels. Your Witcher background video's are so very informative. The best I have ever seen. Congrats. Netflix had so much potential with the Witcher novels. They really "Dropped the ball" including letting Henry Cavill walk away. So much wasted potential. HBO would have done a better job by far.

IMO the books were ok for the first 2, to suck you in, then it got disjointed and went game of thrones, subverting expectations and leaving little to be invested in, the games are way better and the show was horrific, full of misandry and europhobia. Hoping the next game will be great, or I'll just do another playthrough on the witcher 3

Joseph Anderson theorized that in the first witcher game you arent actually fighting Eredins spectre at the end since youre in a shared dream state with the main villian. Pretty convincing but he also took like an entire hour to fully explain his point. Worth the watch.

I love finding channels I can just FEEL the potential in. You will take off my friend. You give me the same vibes some of my favorite channels did when I first found them. No pressure, do what interests you of course. But I'm very confident you are going places. Try too add flavourful context and personality when it's suitable. Avoiding being just a wiki reader is key I find, not that I have any authority in this field of work 🙃 so grains of salt you know. Keep it up friend. I'm grateful.

Considering magic also appeared post conjunction and it works like a illness. Simply somehow a disease that affects humans on a different world spreaded to the continent via conjunction. Think of it this way, throughout history we have cases of diseases being carried from Europe and africa to lets say for example, the americans. Took the natives by suprise. Immune system couldnt fight these unknown new diseases.

THE WITCHER AND DRAGON AGE are sole of the best LORE in the video game UNIVERSE. How I wish PETER JACkson took interest in both this franchise. I would set aside $1000 for each of this franchises as I did for the LORD OF THE RINGS. Both can realistically at minimum generate $10 Billion each. A double trilogy. Just imagine a cinematic scene of GERALT Having to slay his once lover since she is the BOUNTY. Or an unlikely ELVEN assasin drafted from the slums of DENERIM to become the hero GREY WARDEN.
