A Summit of Mages

A Summit of Mages is a main quest in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, played in Chapter 3. The sorcerers’ summit is held in the amphitheatre of Loc Muinne, and Geralt attends it alongside one companion: Triss Merigold, Vernon Roche (accompanied by Anais) or Iorveth, depending on earlier choices.

The talks vary with the companion. With Roche, the Temerian succession dominates. With Iorveth, the main topic is the new kingdom founded in Lormark and recognised by Aedirn and Kaedwen. In both versions the Nilfgaardians bring out Letho, the captured kingslayer, and the sorcerers argue about restoring the Council and the Conclave. If Geralt comes with Triss, he must first fight soldiers who see him as Iorveth’s ally and Foltest’s alleged killer.

The debate never reaches a conclusion. A dragon appears above the amphitheatre, the audience panics, and Geralt is left to confront the creature.

Quest Consequences & Choices

Geralt’s companion at the summit is Triss, Roche or Iorveth, depending on choices made earlier. The subjects discussed change accordingly: Temerian succession on Roche’s side, and the new kingdom in Lormark on Iorveth’s side. Only when arriving with Triss does Geralt have to fight soldiers to get in.
