  • Who are the Wolf Witchers? Where are the Wolf Witchers from? In today´s video we´ll be looking at what is likely the most famous Witcher class, ones who have been renowned as hunters for many hundreds of year. We´ll be looking into their story, their characteristics and theories.
    These animated videos are inspired by the cinematic videos from the Witcher 2 and Darkest Dungeon, both in style and narrative. These videos take a lot of time and effort to create and are all drawn from scratch by myself. If you are interested in supporting future videos and getting access to exclusive content, consider supporting me over on Patreon.

      Given that there's only 3 Schools that are confirmed to be still in existence and operation, I doubt it.
      These being the Bear School, the Crane School and the Manticore School.

    All this rise & fall of Witcher schools kinda make me firmly believe circumstances of the continent after Witcher 3 has changed massively & it would be the revival of Witcher schools in the next Witcher game as it was pretty clear a conjunctions actually happened & opened up so many portals across the world.

    • @KoziPLUS
      @KoziPLUS Před 4 lety

      You can also argue the confrontation from Season of Storms, between Brehen (Cat school Witcher) and Geralt is a wink from Andrzej, which basically means that he might make The Betrayal part of the official lore.Vesemir mentions he is hunting Brehen as an enemy of the Wolf School, so who knows?

    • @emmanuel1337
      @emmanuel1337 Před 6 měsíci

      As far as I know, it wasn't really written by Sapkowski, he just gave the basic idea and the others responsible did everything else, so much so that it's filled with nonsense and inconsistencies (the comic that follows this story is quite bad overall, as are all of those older The Witcher comics). I really think it shouldn't have been included in this video, as it gives the wrong idea to new people about it being a notable and very present part of the lore and it also isn't on an acceptable quality level to integrate both the main canon or the games' canon, at least not how it's presented in the comic, and even though it could be that Sapkowski integrated some of it in Season of Storms, if he did, it was precisely just the very few general things that he outlined back in the day for the comic authors to use as a basis, and is ultimately left for you to piece it together, with other possible interpretations that don't need to consider it as being the case... Pretty shaky stuff, at the end of the day. It could be rewritten by Sapkowski to properly integrate the canon or by CDPR to integrate the games' canon, but it hasn't yet.

    Personally I think its posible to recreate the witcher order. As shown due to the different schools, the formulae to create witchers can be altered and upgraded to produce different effects. Geralt noted that spotted whites were already hunted into extinction and if my memory serves it is one of the core ingredients to make the trial of the grasses. Still it is noted that mages constantly open up portals to bring put monsters and creatures, so it could be a way to obtain materials. Also yennefer both uncovered secrets from the trial of the grasses and research from the scientist in toussant. Lastly, another conjunctions can happen as well, though factions have been made like the witch hunters, they still lack the extensive knowledge to rival witchers.

    • @OKAYGUVBear
      @OKAYGUVBear  Před 4 lety +2

      Technically speaking they could come up with thousands of reasons as to why the witchers are brought back or rebuilt. The real question I think is whether another witcher game will be set after the events of Wild Hunt or long before.

    I just figured out that the witcher Coen being the youngest witcher(younger than lambert) would probably be from the Griffin school since vesemir would never let a cat school in Kaer morhen(since the whole betrayal and Rens death).So if Coen is from the Griffin school that would mean that The Griffin School is still active and if not it has been only destroyed very recently but they are probably still functioning.

    • @jasonzaragoza9413
      @jasonzaragoza9413 Před 4 lety

      He's not from the griffin school, that school deosnt even exist in the books. He's from the wolf school. They meant it was his first time wintering there since he first left on the path( most witchers dont ever return once they leave). The evidence is that Geralt and the others already know him as if they've known him for a long time.

      Flavio i don’t remember Vesimir ever mentioning it, though I do remember the medallion from Bonhart. But most readers put too much stock into Bonhart...even Yeneffer doubts he killed any Witchers and said those medallions were fake and bought from some merchant. But as to Coen, it wouldn’t make sense considering it’s stated it was his first time wintering at Kaer Morhen, yet all the Witchers there already know him, and they speak about him as if he’s one of their own. How would they already know him if he’s from another school and it’s his first time wintering there?

    • @flaviobicaku2620
      @flaviobicaku2620 Před 4 lety

    • @jasonzaragoza9413

      Flavio also the griffin school location is a creation of CDPR not sapkowski, I don’t recall any other Witcher schools location appearing in the books. I agree on the Leo part, I mean he lost to Ciri. She’s a great fighter, but even Coen tells her that she’ll never be as fast or even as good as a Witcher.
