Profile: Geralt of Rivia

Geralt, one of the few remaining witchers on the Continent, is a travelling monster slayer for hire, mutated and trained from an early age to slay deadly beasts. By doing this work, he can pay for his travel towards Nilfgaard in the hopes of finding his lost love, Yennefer.
 

After clearing his name among those who count and learning of Yennefer’s location, Geralt has begun a journey South. It has been six months since Nilfgaard invaded the North causing a great deal of chaos. The witcher has stopped meddling in the affairs of politics and nobles for the time being to instead travel and hunt monsters as he was trained to do long ago. By doing this work, he can pay for his travel towards Nilfgaard in the hopes of finding his lost love, Yennefer. However, the Wild Hunt is still active, and these wraiths have continued to slaughter and kidnap those they see fit.
