Place Velen

Something Ends, Something Begins

The epilogue of The Witcher 3. Depending on Geralt's choices, Ciri becomes empress, takes up the witcher's path, or does not come back at all.

Ciri wants revenge for Vesemir. She and Geralt ride to Velen, where Imlerith will attend the Crones' sabbath on Bald Mountain.

In Velen, the one person who can help against the Wild Hunt is Keira Metz, if Geralt can convince her.

Geralt brings Uma, the cursed creature who travelled with Ciri, to Kaer Morhen, stopping first to report to Emperor Emhyr.

The main quest that ties Velen, Novigrad and Skellige together, as Geralt follows every lead Emhyr's spies gathered about Ciri.

Ciri escapes the Crones of Crookback Bog, but the Wild Hunt general Imlerith is right behind her.

The trail of Ciri leads to Crookback Bog, an orphanage run by a kindly old woman, and the three ancient Crones who rule the swamp.

Geralt and Keira Metz follow a masked elven mage into ancient ruins beneath Velen, only to find that the Wild Hunt got there first.

Hendrik's notes mention a witch near Midcopse who quarrelled with Ciri. Geralt goes looking for her, and finds an old acquaintance instead.

A basilisk snatches the Bloody Baron in the middle of a race, and Ciri has to use her powers to save him, at a cost.
