Who they are
The Wild Hunt turns the Continent's political war into a larger pursuit across worlds. It is the external threat that forces Geralt's scattered allies to become a family defense.
Their story belongs to Skellige and also touches The White Frost. Storm-bound islands where clan succession and Ciri's refuge meet.
Their story, step by step
- Step 1
Pursue power across worlds
The Wild Hunt treats Ciri's Elder Blood as a means to solve its own crisis, turning her personhood into a resource for conquest and survival.
- Step 2
Bring the otherworldly threat close
Its pursuit makes the Continent's political conflicts part of a larger danger without making those local conflicts irrelevant.
- Step 3
What their choices leave behind
The Hunt's defeat matters because Ciri and her allies refuse the logic that extraordinary power justifies possession.
Turning points
- Targeting Ciri for her Elder Blood.
- Forcing Geralt's allies into a united defense.
- Being confronted through Ciri's agency and chosen family.
