After Chapter V

In this chapterKing Foltest is attacked by an assassin who turns out to be another witcher.

The epilogue wraps up the factional fights and shows how Vizima looks after the Order's fall. Geralt's choices about Triss, Shani and the Scoia'tael determine who stands beside him. Then comes the hook: a witcher attempts to assassinate King Foltest. The idea that a member of Geralt's own guild would kill a king opens the main plot of the next game.

The epilogue emphasises that Geralt's victories are partial. Salamandra is gone, but its ideas and its technology have escaped into the world. Another witcher with a mission is already moving in the shadows.

The scene also introduces the long game of the series: kings die, treaties are broken and the Continent drifts toward war. Geralt, who tries to stay neutral, finds that neutrality is impossible in a world where witchers are weapons. As an ending, it lacks the finality of most single games and leans into serial storytelling, which is why it works as the first chapter of a saga.
