Story figure · Novigrad and Velen

Yennefer of Vengerberg

Sorceress, Ciri's adoptive mother and Geralt's defining partner.

Who they are

Yennefer combines formidable magical skill with fierce loyalty to the family she has chosen. Her search for Ciri makes the Wild Hunt story more than Geralt's quest alone.

Their story belongs to Novigrad and Velen and also touches Kaer Morhen and Toussaint. A rich city and a devastated countryside reveal the human cost of war and fear.

Their story, step by step

    Claim power on her own terms

    Choose Ciri as family

    Her relationship with Ciri transforms her role from mentor to mother, making magical power part of an intimate responsibility.

  3. Step 3

    What their choices leave behind

    Yennefer remains a force who refuses easy categories: love does not erase her independence, and independence does not erase care.
