Adda the White was the daughter of Foltest, king of Temeria. She was born a striga as a result of a curse cast by either Ostrit (a local magnate who loved her mother) or Sancia (Foltest's mother). The magnate was in love with the king's sister, the mother of the princess, whose name was also Adda.
Foltest might be foolish in some instances, but I do not think there is any denying that he is a capable monarch who can survive his mistakes (and learn from them, one would hope) and and a very good commander of men due to his raw charisma. He is also a good military leader. All that, in my eyes, make him a good king.
Geralt fell in love with Yennefer and he didn't have much of a choice really. ... The books do not explicitly mention that he had relationships or love affairs with other women before he met Yennefer, but it is often implied that he was lonely. Dandelion is his most trusted friend and companion.
During the riots 76 nonhumans perished including Geralt of Rivia who was stabbed in the chest with a pitchfork by a man named Rob. Yennefer of Vengerberg died trying to heal the witcher. Their bodies were taken by Ciri.
Her hair was described as ashen (color of ash), but during the events of the Saga, it become gray (or white) because of all that trauma. Geralt notices it in Lady of the Lake.
During the Trial of the Grasses, Geralt exhibited unusual tolerance for the mutagens that grant witchers their abilities. Accordingly, Geralt was subjected to further experimental mutagens which rendered his hair white and may have given him greater speed, strength, and stamina than his fellow witchers.

Geralt really did die of the wounds he suffered at the business end of Rob's pitchfork. Yennefer really did die of exertion while casting spells in an attempt to save him.
Geralt's eyes turn “dark” as a side-effect to consuming a Witcher potion. These potions are numerous, each conferring powers that aid a Witcher during his or her fight against monsters. ... Generally, consuming more portions or more potent potions results in an increasingly monstrous/inhuman/mutant appearance.
The 10 Strongest Witchers, Ranked
With Geralt now accepting Ciri as his destiny, he took the young girl with him to Kaer Morhen, both to keep her in hiding and to train her to be a witcher.
Due to their mutant nature, The Witchers are simultaneously hated and feared by the populace, viewing them as greedy sellswords at best, and unnatural freaks at worst. This culminated in an assault on the Witcher's keep of Kaer Morhen, where an angry mob stormed the fortress and massacred the Witchers.
There are several reasons why witchers are rare. The first and most important reason is they are no longer needed. ... Witcher schools were founded and witchers were made to deal with them. The creation of witchers is an extremely tedious process as many young adepts die in the 'Trial of Grasses' and in the 'final change'.
They are called witchers because they are monster slayers, and not necessarily witches or wizards. Witchers are people who have magic, sure, but that comes from things like their training and the potions they consume, which are technically poisonous to most people.
Witchers have to live, too. They have living expenses and sometimes serious healing to pay for. Monsters are hard to kill and often require witcher level adaptation and skills to accomplish this. So as not to squander all that training on other stuff they keep to that specialisation.
Ðarkstar said: They are trained together and they are trained to help each other. Meaning if you bump into another witcher, offer to work with them or help them if they're in trouble. Witchers never worked in teams, they are mutated so they don't have to rely on anybody but themselves.
The Witchers code is a set of teachings (mostly in the form of poems or stories) that dictate how witchers should behave. It is based on the teachings of an unnamed master witcher, a long dead but legendary teacher.
Except in the big wide world things are usually not so clear cut. But they're not mercenaries. Every political entity on the continent would probably love an army of Witchers fighting for them.
Witchers are invariably attacked during pogroms and social upheavals directed against those who deal in magic. Mutagens and magic render witchers' bodies resistant to all kinds of disease, even to the point of outright immunity.
2 Take Notes Geralt: Stranger (Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath) And our protagonist, Stranger, is one of the most classic renditions of a bounty hunter in gaming. He's a bit cliché being a no-nonsense cowboy, but has an incredibly unique design while offering up his own distinct qualities.
10 Things Beginners Need To Know About The Witcher Before Starting The Show
"Witchers usually drink the Blizzard potion immediately before combat.
Well, I'm about to say something that might cause scoffing among gamers and avid readers alike, but it's also not essential to play the games or read the books before watching Netflix's The Witcher TV series. ... In fact, playing the games might work a disservice to the viewing experience.
It's not hard to misinterpret what it is that actually makes the series interesting, but the TV adaptation gets it. The Witcher is funny, intense, and uncomfortable, and it balances out those disparate emotions almost perfectly.
Ciri is Geralt's adopted daughter, bound to his destiny by the Law of Surprise. The books and Netflix show detail how Geralt came to have his fate intertwined with Ciri's, and it would later be that Ciri would also become a Witcher under the tutelage of Geralt. So Geralt can be seen as her adoptive father and mentor.
A Witcher is someone who has trained mentally and physically for years, learned alchemy, learned monster hunting, and finally mutated through a series of inhumane experiments that make them powerful magic users and assassins.
10 He Is Technically Immortal However, witchers never live long enough to prove their immortality, since their profession involves them risking their lives almost every day. If Geralt was to decide not to hunt any more monsters, and no humans attacked him, he might outlive his acquaintances like Jaskier.
They are reflective, and when exposed to bright light or harsh sunlight, the pupils turn to slits. The pupils dilate fully in certain environments or scenarios as well, much as a cat's eyes would. This can be manipulated at will by Witchers for instances such as adapting to have better vision in the dark.
