Envoys, Wineboys is the first main quest of Blood and Wine and the doorway to Toussaint. Two knights-errant have come all the way to Velen with a summons for Geralt: the duchess herself needs a witcher.
How to start Envoys, Wineboys
Once A Poet Under Pressure is done, a new contract appears on notice boards in Velen, and also at the Seven Cats Inn and in Oxenfurt. It sends you to Stonecutters’ Settlement. The suggested level is 34 and the quest gives 50 XP.
Knights of Toussaint
The knights are Palmerin de Launfal and Milton de Peyrac-Peyran, and they are glad to see Geralt. True to their chivalric code, they first want to protect the villagers from a gang of bandits. You can help them or talk them out of it. If you stay, Palmerin tries to reason with the bandits, they laugh at the knights, and it comes to blows anyway.
Then the knights hand over a summons from Duchess Anna Henrietta and explain the trouble in Toussaint. When Geralt accepts, all three set off south and the story continues in The Beast of Toussaint.
Tips
- No way back for a while: accepting the summons takes Geralt straight to Toussaint and starts the expansion. If you still want to finish things in the base game or gain a few levels, wait before you say yes.
- The bandit fight is optional and has no effect on the rest of the story.
