The human race in the World of the Witcher is one that quite cleverly reflects our species darker side with countless wars, betrayals and a crusade being just the cliff notes version of a long list of terrible things we have done to each other, but more commonly to the other creatures that inhabit the land. The World and It’s History is one such section that makes heavy use of these notes and it paints a picture of a world that is not our own with humans and elves alike arriving from some other world in the distant almost forgotten past.
This idea help build a picture of how the different species inhabit the world and interact with one another. This personality shines through in the writing and provides a nice contrast to dark history of the world that covers the many wars and monstrous actions of human race.īacking up the writings of Dandelion the Bard are a number of notes and additional writings from other people in the world and in one case a dragon. Primarily written from the point of view of Dandelion the Bard whose whimsical personality and passion for storytelling made reading the book quite fun for me as someone who has played both the Witcher games. The book is split between five chapters each covering a major component of The Witcher’s universe starting with The World and It’s Inhabitantsn and finishing with a retelling of Geralt’s journey so far, covering his history and the challenges he has faced. With the Witcher 3’s open world ready for the taking The World of the Witcher from Dark Horse Comics gives an in depth look into the history and inhabitants of this grimmer take on fantasy with 181 pages of well written notes and stories that are beautifully illustrated using concept art and game screenshots. The story takes place in a medieval fantasy world, it’s setting is rich with history and monster infested locales that are often hinted at but not filled in with great detail during the game. The Witcher developed by CD Projekt RED is based on a book series of the same name by polish author Adrzek Sapkowski.
