- How did magic get into the Witcher Universe? In today's video I talk about the conjunction of spheres and all the lore behind it. Most still consider this a theory but after the events of the Witcher 3 the conjunction of spheres is shown to be true. I also talk about how human's got into the Witcher world. Be sure to like for more videos like this and subscribe if you're new!
There's a piece of information that I completely forgot where it came from about humans' origin in the Witcher world. It was said that some were actually from OUR world, people from the Netherlands, Spain, and nations in the exploration era. And they were kind of fell to this Witcher world.
There was this other information, probably a bit of a stretch, but could possibly confirm of OUR world and the Witcher world 'meet' in a story where Ciri jumped between universes, running from Eredin, she happened to jump to OUR world at the time of The Black Plague. She was infected, but didn't get ill, and jumped to HER world (the Witcher world), and brought the Catriona Plague. And it was said that the Catriona was basically Pest Plague, from our world.
Anyway, great video and analysis. Keep up the good work.
I think that you can find roach in Kcd proves that our world are connected, as that game is focused on realism:D
I remember reading parts of these in game. Not sure but maybe some was in the tower of mice location.
Ciri has been to our world you are right that the Catriona plague is our bubonic plague, i dont think it was officially confirmed but from reading the books and playing all the games its pretty fuckin obvious lol.
JustCozItsMe Yeah, Catriona plague was mentioned in The Tower of Mice and Favor for a Friend.
Zode You don't jump from world to world without contracting some kind of bug in one world and spread a plague in a another. 😄
The conjunction of the spheres (at least the way it’s executed in the Witcher) is one of the coolest concepts I’ve ever seen
100%. It makes the world very believeable.
So essentially someone from a world with automatic weapons could wind up in the Witcher’s realm, and a peasant with a pitchfork can magically appear in a world with flying cars.
And yet black people appearing is somehow unthinkable…to people who have clearly never read the books
would explain how the folks at kaer morhen can create a space marine
@@fibonaccisequins4637 ,
He mentioned monsters
The entire planet got isekai
@@fibonaccisequins4637I remember that black People only lived in Ofir and Zerrikania, not in the northem realms
Ciri mentions once in the game that she visited the modern world. I have a feeling that Cyberpunk will take place in another sphere.
That was cyberpunk 20 something something basically a lot of people think we will meet her in the upcoming game well hope so
KewlCrayon Well technically that part is just an Easter egg by mentioning that CD projekt’s future game is cyberpunk 2077.
Yes, yes, yes. She mentiones even Space ships. I hoped, this easter egg would be aloberated even further
They already said that cyberpunk was not going to be joined with The witcher(Ciri) sorry guys :/ kinda bummed me aswell.
I'm 9 months late, i know, but if i remember correctly, in the books Ciri briefly travels to roughly 14th century earth, a european port city struck by the plague
Even though the witchers lore isn't the deepest if compared to other fantasy franchises, in my opinion its the most interesting and intriguing for the main fact that not everything is explained so people can fill in the gaps them self's and make theory's.
Great work
Thanks man and I totally agree!
finally someone who agrees
ThatsTheXD What other fantasy franchises? can you name a few? I would like to read and know more.
Correct
@@CreatormodeS The Elder Sctolls
All the events of the Witcher happened, but in a parallel universe from ours. We’re the humans that didn’t get flung into the Witcher universe, and subjected to the influence of magic or monsters 🤔🤨👀
Notcharon Agreed
Yes
I don't know if this was added by CDPR, but in the book, The World of the Witcher: Video Game Compendium, it is said that humans were introduced into the world that The Witcher takes place in through the conjunction as well. It ways that they then subjugated the races that were either there before or had come previously in another conjunction, its been a while since I read it so I can't remember which one. Either way, the whole thing that other races came into a world already inhabited by humans is a myth created by humans. Again, I don't know if that's something that was added by CDPR or not, but I thought it worth mentioning as it really changes a lot of that world's "origin story" as well as that of humans.
Interesting, I own that book but I went by the book idea for this vid!
I believe humans was "imported" in the Witcher planet from our medieval times.
Around the world nations describe same monsters by a close similar names while having no connection to each other.
I am sure those portals went both ways with maybe differently flows.
I still hope one day they will make a MMORPG of Witcher maybe after Witcher 4-5 somewhere in the distant future like 400-500 years later after Ciri "choosed Ciri because she's younger and maybe she will outlive the rest" with a other clash of the world's.
The humans being imported to the Witcher world from our own Medieval Times makes sense, since astronomers call the alignment of Jupiter and Saturn the
'Great Conjunction'. This December 21st, 2020 will the be the best alignment since March 04th, 1226, to see a closer alignment between these objects visible in the night sky. The last time Jupiter and Saturn came this close was in 1623, but too close to the sun for us to see it.
I think to know more about the conjunction of spheres we need to ask Detlaff, the unseen elder and Regis as they're higher vampires and Gaunter O'Dimm that should of been one of our rewards
I just started playing the Witcher 3 a few days ago, and I really appreciate you breaking down the lore so that it's easy to understand. Thank you so much for your hard work, it's very much appreciated!
You have a great voice for commentary, please keep it up!!
thanks so much man!
I think you mentioned this was originally an elven world, but in W3 it mentions elves arrived after gnomes and dwarfs who also arrived to the world. I've always been curious as to whose world it was originally.
I believe it may be referencing when the elves returned?
I think the original world belonged to the gnomes
@moonlight You are right. In 'The Blood of Elves' it is mentioned that the elves only arrived to the world a thousand years before humans and that the first race in the world was the gnomes
From what i remember having read the books the only intelligent race that is actually native besides gnomes is the mimics (Dopplers) being able to mimic was one of their defence mechanisms. But because they look so different they were given no chance by humans unlike other races. Even though most mimics hardly have a mean bone in their bodies.
The parallel universes would mean that there are humans native to many different universes. essentially millions and millions of worlds like ours but with minute differences. In effect, if we travelled to one parallel universe, you could be exactly the same and the world is exactly the same, but with the difference that, say, woolly mammoths didn't go extinct. I don't know how this possible real-world phenomenon translates to The Witcher, but some real-world scientists have *theorized* that parallel universe could "collide" with one another, sending aspects of their universe into ours and vice versa
Damn, you're already at 1.2k subs. It seems like just a couple of days ago you were between 500 and 1k subs. Awesome video as always.
Congrats on 1k subs ❤️
you should do some blood and wine lore videos I think they would be great!
I don't remember is it in the book or in the game, but Ciri or Avallach mention something about each star in the sky is another world. So I don't think it's a parallel universe. I think it's another planet in another solar system. Beside, if it's a parallel universe, Ciri may have mention that she found another Redania or Temeria or Cintra. She may even met another version of Geralt or Yennefer who's not a witcher or Sorceres.
Hard to say. If there are multiple parallel worlds, then there are multiple races of humanity. Or maybe I should say humanoids. Lets put it this way, the elves, the humans, and the dwarves and such like all share a humanoid body structure. So maybe the we're all just variations of a humanoid form. (or elvenoid or dwarvenoid, take your pick)
(yeah, I know what the elves would say, but, if we weren't variations on the same baseline species would humans and elves be able to mate successfully? Almost certainly not. So....)
Good idea!
Very likely, but you should add halflings dopplers and all the others, even vampires.
Wasteland Seven Of course the humans and the elves can breed, Ciri is a mix between the two races as well.
Jovan Jovanovic he’s saying they can.
Don't forget vampires who are identical but superior to humans in every way
I just found your channel and I’ve watched all your videos already, AMAZING CONTENT! Will gladly share your channel! And thank you for the amazing Witcher videos, looking forward to more and keep up the good work! :)
Thanks so much man it means a lot, I really appreciate you taking the time to comment this. Have an awesome week.
WitcherGeorge No problem my dude, have an amazing week as well!
The ship analogy was fascinating for me because it made me wonder if the Conjuction of the Spheres was in fact an astronomical event that allowed various planets from different star systems to interact with one another.
loving the content, I would love to see a vid covering the white frost, what it is exactly and how does it move from one world to another ? thanks
Good idea man!
You're one of my fav 5 channels ♥
Thanks so much mate means a lot
Yet another great informative video.
I'd love the vampire overview.
One wrong bit here, there was a form of magic before the conjunction in the world. Primeval magic existed long before the conjunction.
Great video dude keep it up.
Great video as always!
thanks mate
You're kind of a legend!!!!
I have a theory that the humans that arrive in the conjunction of spheres are from medieval Europe.
Imagine that the unexplained lost civilations where taken from our world and put into the witcher Universe
That's be varsity crazy but interesting
So is the conjunction of the spheres just multi-universal panspermia?
that is a good way to concisely explain it yeah.
Don't think so. I think another world is another planet in another solar system. Conjunction maybe some kind of wormhole events that connect two different points. The event happen randomly. But certain being, like those who posses Lara Dorren gene, can create and control this wormhole.
I thought you might of had more content, but at least the quality is here
Thanks man, I'll soon have much more, as doing a lore video every other day, increase the amount quickly!
What's the armor you're wearing throughout the gameplay? It's awesome. Great work as always
Superior griffin armour and thanks man
Isn't there the strong suspicion that the elves, looking for a place to move to, actually caused the conjunction.
Maybe
How could humans not have written history or oral stories passed down covering the Conjunction? I mean they have no knowledge of their existence until only 1500 years ago? Forgive me, I don't know much about Witcher lore - I just started W3 (and I probably shouldn't even be watching these vids for fear of spoilers...)
It would be great if the conjunction was shown to be something caused by an experiment gone wrong in cyberpunk world. As long as it doesn't turn out to be something lame like a simulation, but proper quantum multiverse cock-up.
You skipped a bit..."soon after the destruction of their own"...Which points to this possibly coming true, realistic fantasy. I like this as it shows what may happen in realistic terms. You can't stop the 'conjunction of spheres', we KNOW this world won't last forever, there are many forces in the universe we CAN'T stop, I'm not so sure it'll be the 'white frost', but the option is there.
Ciri ended up on earth in Arthurian times. Earth wasn't destroyed and it seems to take place at least a good 1,500 years before now.
So the Witcher world is a alternate dimension. So does that mean the Conjuction affected our world which is why we have the legends and myths of past conjuction's?
to be honest.. i kinda want to know if the world can be expanded. the conjuction basically tell us shit gets mixed into a giant pot and that becomes the new reality but i think it would be pretty cool if new things come from new worlds or things in our world goes into that one. that we get a witcher game where we are in a differnet universe with different creatures who look similar but evolved differently. i kinda also want a game where the witcher clans are coming back due to a new prophecy of a new conjuction. kinda like how we had to raise a army in dragon age inquisition the witchers have to make a army of their own. it could be this whole cold war that we know its gonna happen and everyone is preparing to use the choas to their advantage but plot twist we dont think about is that the other worlds are also preparing to come thru. while the wild hunt has the ability to go back and forth these new threats have to rely on old natural methods.
I like they explain it grounded and scientifically
On Dec 20th 2020 ,we are having our own Conjunction 👁✨
Do a vid on vamps!
How Iv only just discovered the Witcher and it’s many story’s, I’ll never know.
This might be almost a 3yrs old video on one of the most amazing PC Games ever, but something will happen on December 21st, 2020 (on the winter solstice) that astronomers call 'the Conjunction' or 'the Great Conjunction' where Jupiter and Saturn become almost perfectly aligned as viewed from Earth. The last such Conjunction was in 2000 (they happen every 20yrs roughly), but what is special about this one, this will be close to a perfect alignment. You'd have to go way back to March 04th, 1226 to see a closer alignment between these objects visible in the night sky. The last time Jupiter and Saturn came this close was in 1623, but that Conjunction was too near the sun to be seen by Earthlings.
Of course we can't forget the 2012 winter solstice Mayan Calendar myth of the supposed end of our world, which obviously was not correct.
So, maybe, just maybe, some of the Witcher world's 'Conjunction of the Spheres' lore isn't that far out of own reality. Something to think about.
Interesting
Great!
I'm low-key convinced that there are multiple of these conjunctions every once in a while.
And maybe Ragh Nar Roog is a mythic interpretation of the insight that such an event can happen again
Frost giants are likely post conjunction
You also see fucktons of them in the ending
You never know
It's probably based on real mythology.
@@KnightofAssyria not really, it was quite blatantly taken from the Elric saga
@@whyonthefall5373 what Elric Saga?
@@KnightofAssyria the one who's first story: The Dreaming City, was written 25 years before the first Witcher short story, and a series that Sopkowski himself translated into polish
What was you steel and silver sword in the vid? It has a nice golden accent on the scabbard
Keep it up an i think humans were there elves say things like that because they live longer an most humans havent lived long enough to know the difference
Good point!
As a fantasy writer can I just say, the conjunction of the spheres is such a fuckin good exposition device.
Literally anything and everything can be dumped into the world even things that make no sense. Monsters, Fantasy creatures, mundane animals, beings of pure magic and stuff.
Its such a clever idea for a creation story that leaves near infinite possibilities and can be expanded at anytime.
And also gives a great storytelling reason why something like a medieval level society has advanced concepts such as parallel universes, evolution, Mutation, Darwinism,
Even alot of the magical research and invention we see in the series follows the scientific method. Just fantastic.
Lore on the three crones would be an interesting one I reckon
awesome idea man
WitcherGeorge thanks man. Only recently found your channel, putting out great content
In the hexer series when geralt is taken to kar morhan, when he's undergoing the trial of the grasses there's a lady a witch or his mother anyway she does some spell...I think its so he retains some of his human emotions, or able to feel more than he would have, just wanna know if that's in the books if you know or not...have you watched the hexer? Im on episode 7. There's 12 I think, anyway geralt keeping some of his empathy and humanness overall?
I believe that witchers don't actually lose their emotion through mutations, it's basically more of the way they were raised (or at least that's the impression I got, it's more of an intimidation tactic.).I could be wrong just if you look at Lambert he is very clearly quiet emotional. I haven't seen the show myself, but know about the story, is it worth a watch? I've heard mixed reviews.
WitcherGeorge thanks and yes its worth watching its cheesy but good, kinda how the labyrinth with David Bowie is or the dark crystal cheesy but good...great if you're a fan...because some stuff in the game is from the series, example that zugal hes always talking about, that happens...if you picked yennifer as a lover I think, there's this time they almost fall off a cliff that happens...two zarrikanian warrior women....golden dragon...hella Easter eggs...anyway yeah you should watch it...just type in hexer...pick it, then it should have all the episodes...beneath the time bar...thanks for being such a cool human, and CZcamsr...p.s. Do you know if they'll remaster 2 for the fans, I really wanna play it on my PS4?
the Wildyarp Thank you man and It's certainly possible for backward compatibility at some point, just like bioshock or assassins creed the ezio collection, they may decide to do a full witcher release for xbox one and ps4!
I wish the biggest plot hole in Witcher Universe's mythology would be addressed.
That is: How did this world and universe (and multiverse) exist before magic was integrated with Geralt's world?
It seems this planet/universe would have had to have been like ours, before Magic existed.
Science based, not magic based.
Therefore, Geralt's world should have progressively evolved in scientific development, on a very similar track with ours, before the 1st Conjunction occurred. It would seem magical and scientific development should have evolved together.
Something similar to the Star Wars universe, but with far less technological progression.
i know this is old, but my way of looking at it is that they arent "humans" as we are. The witcher lore states multiple worlds and universes, maybe the humans were thrown from one world to another, to start with nothing, its canon that the continent was previously elven, and that the elvish claimed humans are post conjuntion as well. There could even be multiple versions of humans as the we could have been thrown into many different worlds, "the first landing" could have been just that. A landing from some magic or cosmic teleportation or however the conjunction worked. And overtime the truth faded into legend and obscurity. Similar to the wild hunt and how they went from ghosts to actual knights between the first and second games, at least in depiction.
Well I always believed that humans came from another world through the Conjunction. But now that I think about it it could be just elven propaganda lol. And yes, please do a video on the vampire race! Great video btw.
thanks man
Quality Mapping yeah I think it’s just some elven propaganda or just lies. It would be weird because I don’t think anyone would just forget what world or planet they came from if it is almost 2,000 years ago.
No the elves are right. The witcher world apparently belonged to gnomes and dwarves originally
@@supremeturtle1186 yeah but what is also questioning is that some people in the Witcher world would say that elves are natives to the land and some people say they aren’t
Could u make video on the lore of higher vampires, and their tribes and stuff like that?
definitely!
WitcherGeorge it’s kool how interactive u r with ur community, keep it up!
Kaz Steiner if someone takes the time to comment I'll try my best to respond in some way! Thanks man.
not sure if its mentioned here in the comments or not before because, CZcams comments.
but the conjunction of spheres sounds much like how the Milky way and Andromeda galaxies are set to collide in the very far future. I can't help but think that andrzej sapkowski used this theory to create the "Conjunction of the Spheres". I'm quite new to the Witcher series as I've only played the witcher 3 and I'm merely on the 4th book starting from "the last wish" without "season of storms". I may be really behind but this is just my theory of what "The Conjunction of the spheres" is as I'm relatively new to the series.
It's possible he took inspiration from Moorcock, who uses an almost identical event in his works
Aint sure how u feel about mass effect but i was wondering wat you think of the mass effect universe and its lore also warhammer 40,000 lore not many channels for those
I'll have a look!
Lol nice way to go through the whole video with no spoilers and then spill the ending of the game with no warnings
Great video and channel. :)
so what was the name of the planet monsters came from
conjunction of spheres is what happened in thor: into darkness, when all the dimensions align the veil between them gets so thin that anything can pass through it from one world to another
not to be confused with star trek: dark world
It's also what happens in the Elric Saga, with almost the exact same name
But elves aren't native to The Witcher's world, thay also came from somewhere else
Maybe Cyberpunk 2077 is our world and later on in that world humanity evolves enough that we destroy our own world either from war or the exhausting of resources. Then the conjunction happen and thus the remnants of humanity land in the Witcher world and voila, we get the humans in the Witcher Universe. That being said, if taking into account a chronological timeline, the story of Geralt takes place about 2,000 or so years in our current future.
Great channel, keep it up.
Thank you mate
On another earth when they turned on the Large Hadron Collider it caused a collision between their ship, ours and the world of the witcher knocking humans from both earth's onto the world of the witcher as well as knocking humans from one earth onto another causing the mendella effect.
Hey guys did you play that quest where you had to make that Druid break his vow of silence
That was great yeah haha
You got ticked lol
Do one on succubus please.
good suggestion!
Does this Apply to the witcher TV Show too? Season 2)
Anyone know what before resurrection means
Will the conjuction happen again?
Wait, it took half a millennium for humanity to develop enough to properly combat monsters? The Fuck?
What if Cyberpunk 2077 was just another sphere that's not part of the conjunction? Maybe there actually will be an Easter egg or two from Witcher 3. It was game of the decade to most people so I don't doubt them doing it
Cyberpunk doesn’t exist in the Witcher world. That was just Easter egg for CDPR next big game project
Can someone PLEASE make a Witcher universe DND campaign?
Plz
Now hear me out.
A show set in our modern world where this Conjunction of Spheres happens and sends all the mosnters and magic of the witcher universe to ours
So were there more than one conjunction?
And did really humans come to this world in the last conjunction that occured 1500 years ago? The narrator in the witcher 3 intro speaks as if humans were already in the world when the conjunction occurred and it simply dumped magic and monsters.
There was more then one conjunction and groups of humans arrived in the first and second!
WitcherGeorge but this is always according to the elves right? Humans could have actually always been in this world
potentially, I believe that humans were on the world of the aen elle (until the elves killed them all, when they first arrived.)
Witcher characters and story > Game of Thrones characters and story
Not really something hard to surpass
What about godling, Doppler etc
Good idea!
conjunction is like portal?
Pretty much yeah!
LIQUID SNAKE the conjunction of the spheres is pretty similar to the Big Bang theory
What if O'Dimm caused the conjunction of spheres
Seems right up his alley. The world got a little boring so he decided to spice things up a bit.
Coldplay - Higher Power (Official Video)
Imagine a Conjunction of Spheres event happening on the Cyberpunk 2077 world
That would be cool!
I'm pretty sure ciri brought up visiting that world. Lookup when getalt finds her and talks about the other world's she has seen. She talks of guns and people who have metal body parts if I remember right. Would be cool if she is in a side quest in 2099
That would be shadowrun.
didnt ciri go teh teh cybrpunk 2077 world as she can telaport to thes differant world ot ships as ypu said
I hope there is a reference to the witcher in cyberpunk 2077
There better be haha
your videos need more volume man, thanks for the lore
Np man, I increased the volume in later videos
Did you see what I ask you about Geralt?
What did you ask sorry?
yeah that's cool don't put a spoiler alert FOR THE END OF WITCHER THREE
So Humans are not Native to the Witcher World?
Nothing really is. Not even the elves, that got there first.
@GM Steelhaven Actually I believe the Dwarves were there before the Elves.
As far as I know humans aren’t native to the world. Maybe they are who knows. There are multiple mixed source that say that elves are native to the world and some sources say elves aren’t native to the world
So basically, the Conjunction is someone or something getting isekai'ed?
So basically Thor movie 2
Nah basically Elric of Melniboné
🪐- “hey...”. 🌍- “hey...”. 🪐- “What you got?”. 🌍- “Humans... What you got?” 🪐- “Aliens.” 🌍- “Cool...”. 🪐- “Wanna trade?” 🌍- “Sure.”
Interdimensional Interaction.
If monsters were brought to the world by this event and humans came over at the same time, does that mean that humans are monsters
I realize this is a 3 you video but this must be said....
1. balance you audio levels between clips and your narration
2. Stay the same distance from your Mic!!!! The audio in this video is utter garbage... otherwise it's a great video! I hope you have gotten better in the last 36 months
"spoiler alert" do you know those words?
so it's like the convergence in thor 2 (pretty crap movie)
If our world exists in the Witcher universe, does that still make the Witcher a high fantasy story? Or would that be considered low fantasy....
This game could be great but the looting system is boring as hell. Hundreds of houses and hours spent searching them only to get the same stuff like water and dwarf spirit. It really is boring as hell. They should mate it interesting. Yes you find the odd chest but all the houses have crap
Ragnarok??????
If you look into any major story, any major plot both fictional and non-fictional, you'll notice that at the center... or "conjunction" of that massive clusterfuck is a single person. Group? Maybe. Supporters, followers, worshippers, etc. But. There is always that "one" person at the tip of the idea.
I like to think that this Conjunction of the Spheres were orchestrated by one of those idiots who thought it'd be funny to make one massive blender of all that works and all that doesn't and then see what comes out of it.
coulda used a spoiler warning
Yeah it’s fine mate just put the spoilers in there no problem 👍🏻
Thanks for the spoiler by the way. Maybe you should let people know first
