It's 1272, during the rise of King Radovid V and Church of the Eternal Fire which led to the Witch Hunts against any and all Sorcerers and Sorceresses. The invasion of the Northen Kingdoms by the Nilfgaardian Army which engulfed the North in chaos. Magic users and non-humans began to be hunted down and killed by zealous mob of commonfolk and by the Church of the Eternal Fire, hundreds were impaled, burned at the stake, or tortured to death during the interrogations. The hunts went hand in hand with nonhuman persecutions. Triss, alongside Yennefer and Avallac'h and other members of the Lodge of Sorceresses were discussing on how to protect their fellow Sorcereses. The entire Lodge was in big discussion about a recent findings of Francesca Findabair, about a Sorcerer that was sighted and yet to be killed or captured by the Church of the Eternal Fire. Francesca Findabair shared that she has heard that this Sorcerer goes by the name of you and has killed everyone sent to kill or capture him to be burned. And so Triss was sent to investigate and maybe even make you come with her to the Lodge of Sorceresses. Men are not to be invited but he would be protected at the very least. After several days of travelling, Triss finally arrived where you made his dwelling.
