I like how you can tell whoever writes the scripts also likes the media it covers cause of parts like 8:22
The narrator has a gaming channel where they play historical and fantasy strategy games :)

☝
I lost it at this part.
True Philosophy
It may be worth mentioning that this is one possible scenario, as (as far as I know, I may be wrong) there is no official canonical ending to Witcher 3.
It actually is, sort of.
I haven't read the books, but I read it on wiki.
The last book entry (encyclopedia) is from the witcher books ("Tower of Swallows" mainly), when Ciri jumped into the future, the northern realms were no more.
you are right, there are 3 different endings for political situation in the witcher world, still if they are making witcher 4 as continuation they will have to settle for a canon ending, Empire winning and ciri becoming empress looks most likely
@@Arthur_Revan
Yeah but, doesn't Voorhis take over Nilfgaard only for Jan Calveit to become emperor soon after?
@@Arthur_Revan That could mean anything really. How far into the future did she go?
Nope in Gwent there Is mention that Radovid will win the war and his reign will be known as iron judgement
Could also have mentioned that Morvran Voorhis probably married Ciri and became the primary ruler of the Empire. It is mentioned in between chapters that he became the fifth emperor of Nilfgaard with the line being 1: Torres Var Emreis 2: Fergus Var Emreis 3: The Usurper 4: Emhyr Var Emreis 5: Morvran Voorhis and after that he was suceeded by the last known emperor (mentioned in the same paragraph) number 6: Jan Calveit
Seeing the map of Novigrad hit me like none of the main channel videos have. I know that it's a game, but Witcher 3 is so immersive, in all of your videos I feel detached from the map, but this one ... I saw the Seven Cats Inn, and I could easily picture it. I have such a great scale in my mind, it feels very personal in a way I'm not used to for these videos.
That is to say, excellent work, this series has easily been my favorite, Witcher 3 is about due for a new playthrough
EDIT: Only this channel could make me admire Hemmelfart. The Pro-North anti-Nilfgaard nationalism in me has me in despair at this ending, but in the best way. It truly feels like history, the way this story that we know intimately is just a distant, silly fairy tale is somehow almost nostalgic.
It's a bad story. You can tell by so many things we don't know.
@@frankie3010 nah
YES ! Same ! I am thinking or retaking the game now x)
@@sitrakaforler8696 Ooh, gosh, I wasn't feeling it until now, but I might just myself. It's been a few years now. Truly a masterpiece of a game.
Can't believe this is the last Witcher video from this channel. There is so much more lore to explore!
Excellent history and presentation. I think you got all the ending right except that Morvran Voorhis is the next Emperor according to the author and while I know there are issues between author and CDProjekt Red the company has tried to follow his timeline regardless of his opinion of them. So I think Ciri becoming a Witcher Ending is the canon one (and seems to be implied by the Thank you for playing video CDProjeckt did). Emyr either died or was assassinated by Voorhis (as his father had unsuccessfully attempted years earlier) in around 1301 I quote: "During the rule of Emperor Morvran Voorhis he was falsely accused of misappropriation of funds, found guilty, imprisoned and died in 1301 in Winneburg Castle. Posthumously rehabilitated by Emperor Jan Calveit in 1328." (pg. 199, Time of Contempt (UK edition)). This would imply Voorhis ruled until 1328 and was succeeded by Calveit most likely. Its a small point but I think worth pointing out.
Dijkstra and Radovid never died and Redania won the war, causing enough discontent within the Nilfgaardian empire for the plotters of the merchants guild to assassinate Emhyr and bring Voorhis to the throne.
The books aren't cannon and Ciri became empress
@@ChristianAuditore14 Um, how are the books, written by the author who created the Witcher, not canon? The games have progressed the story from the books but they recognise everything in the books as having happened, which by inference means that Ciri will not succeed her father.
@@davidwhitfield6025 lmao
nah empress is canon
I was curious from the start which game endings you were going to take on, and we choose all the same! Really great series guys, please continue
The fact that whoever write this play the game makes it quite special to be honest… 8:20 simply brilliant
Radnom Guard was truly a great philosopher. A poet for the ages.
I felt honestly divided on the matter over the sucession of Redania. I liked Roche more, but thought Dijkstra's solution was better politically.
I thought so too
Well, I have nothing against Dijkstra's plan, but as soon as he tries to kill friends it's game over for him. Doesn't matter the political ideas behind it, don't hurt my friends or you're dead.
I'm pro Niflgard so bring on Roche and my liege Emhyr, then let Ciri become Empress and it's all good 👍
Dijikstra had the right idea, but fucked up in his execution. Like, he would have been a competent ruler, but I imagine he would just end up being like Radovid in the end.
@@krimzonstriker7534 Nah
A series on the Dune universe would be amazing
Is that old fandom still lucrative enough? Who pays all the extra work?
@@a.m.pietroschek1972 it's more lucrative than it's been in years. There was an Oscar award winning movie thar came out last year with the sequel coming up. The books are selling amazingly well at the moment and it's also one of the most influential and important works of sci fi, nay fiction, of the twentieth century. I feel like if nothing else it deserves a video
Nah
I'd love to see an alternate series where the prince of Aedirn doesn't die and Djikstra seizes the north.
In the Witcher 2 I believe there’s an ending where he lives.
I'm pretty sure Emhyr's canonical successor was Morvran Voorhis, and after his death, Jan Calveit.
Ciri as Empress is an alternate timeline.
The only posibility is that Voorhis becomes Ciris Husband. This way it is still possible that Ciri becomes empress for a vey short time , but yes in canon Ciri is not mentioned and instead after Emyr we have Voorhis and then Calveit.
@@gediminaskucinskas6952No,Voorhis killed Emhyr after he shitted bed with war. Canonically Radovid win 😉
I read in The Witcher board game or something, saying that Nilfgaard left Lyria and Rivia alone due to Queen Meve action in the previous war or something along those lines. Also, if you got the ending where Nilfgaard takes the North, one of Queen Meve’s son participate in the tournament in Toussaint, along with Meve’s letter to his son, indicating that she’s alive and well
As a massive Witcher fan these have been amazing to watch. Thank you for breaking this all down, can't wait to see more!
Too bad Sapkowski didn't write more about the conflicts after the Nilfgaardian Wars. One interesting event is the Haak Invasion; they are hordes from the East and mirror the Hunnic/Mongol invasions of Europe. One insidious element of their culture is the worship of Lilit, who is tied to the Curse of the Black Sun, which is another cataclysmic event that is prophesized.
YES, glad you noticed that in the books. There is also the War of the two Unicorns(referencing the War of the Roses). Also we have very little infos about Zerrikania.
8:22
Words of wisdom
Have you looked into legend of the galactic heroes? The show has many interesting battles/campaigns. If you haven’t heard of it before it’s a space opera from the 80s highly recommend
Hell yes, look into that!
And being remade as we speak, albeit at almost as slow a pace as the original.
Just to put that into perspective, it took them nine YEARS to make the original.
Now that would be interesting
@@lafeelabriel and I love the new as much as the old so glad it’s legacy is continuing
@@TheDawg1212 Same. And love how they even managed to get some of the original cast to return.
Just a shame that Uncho Ishizuka passed away, he'd have been just as great as Merkatz as he was as Trunicht (the latter in the original) but hey at least his replacement was very well picked.
Actually, the canon ending of Witcher 3 is
Radovid win the war, we see that in Gwent expansion ,,Iron Judgemant,,
Ciri become witcher, and Morvran become emperor of Nilfgaard
True. As far as I remember from books Philippa Eilhart dies in 1276 during tortures ordered by priest Willemer. Later she becomes saint of future religion or mayby sorcerers. That info was in introduction before one chapter in Lady o the Lake I think. It proves that Radowid is probably still a ruler of Redania and finally captures Philippa.
@@Blunt_Raz0r Yes, and I do not believe that Andrzej Sapkowski would allow Nilfgaard to conquer Redania which he based on his Poland
As far I know, the player gets to make their own choices and thus their own canon,so it doesn't matter
@@deadking8224 player yes, but i wrote about what CDPR made canon
I hope so. Not too fond of witcher Ciri but I approve everything else.
One thing I noticed you didn't address, which is one of the bigger problems between the book and game, is the "fake Ciri" who should still canonically be alive and married to Emyr. This could be justified with the fake Ciri already having died by some unknown cause, or maybe when the real Ciri ascends the throne the fake one just...exists? (I can't see the real Ciri killing the fake one, so its all up in the air as to what happens to her)
Don't remember any of that from the Netflix show.
It's from the Books (although you do see a fake ciri in episode 7 of season 1, where Calanthe tries to trick Geralt with another girl passing as Cirilla)
@@commandersmith8951 Be nice. The show is great on its own. Its meant for normies not hardcore fans
The main purpose of fake Ciri was to justify Emhyr’s claim to Cintra. Now that the real Ciri is there and Emhyr publicly announces it to his retinue at Vizima, it seems that it wouldn’t matter. However fake Ciri’s ultimate fate with his version of the ending is left open indeed.
Honestly,radovid halting the empires advance south of the pontar will forever be legendary
I can see that there would be a better scenario for the whole battle. And not unwinnable for the Nordlings.
First of all, Djikstra is not getting killed, but he's getting maimed by Geralt. Therefore he is again thrown back into shadows. Roche has not decided to surenderr to Nilfgaardian army. And Radovid, altough he is a tyrant is one last commander that will be able to stand against Emhyr.
The Nilfgaard has moved twordss the city. The way was not easy, due to the coordinated attacks of Blue Strips and Djikstra's intell.
The buildings out of city walls were completly destroyed, the citizens knew that this is needed for defense. The Garrison of the City was composed of City Watch, the Witch Hunters, Hemmelfart's guard, redanian army, and local criminals that joined in defense of the city.
The Nilfgaardians begin the blocade of the city, both on land and on sea. Due to the Djikstra's info, given to the defenders by Roche's people, the defenders knew exacly what they were going up against. The Nilfgaardians begin a bombardment by both siedge machies, and mages. Defenders were responding by thier own artylery, and a knowleadge of a witch hunters, who dedicated thier lifes twords fighting a magic users. Under the cover of night the defenders were organising a sorties, composed of allied forces of witch hunters and gangsters. Those raids were succesfull and killed many of Nilfgaardian mages and siedge engees.
In addition to that a relieaf forces were incoming from land and sea.
For millenia the people of Skellige have been an enemies of the Nilfgaard. And now they had a perfect opportunity to make the lifes of an invaders a missery. Allowed by his queen and sister Cerys, young yarl Hjalmar an Craite have led fleet of the skelligan wolfships twords Novigrad to break the blocade. Acompanied by his former rival for the Skellige's throne Svanrige, son of a previous King of the Isles who wanted to take revange on the southeners for his father death. Hjalmar was commanding over 5 thousend of the Skelligean warriors and over 500 ships. But they were not the only help incoming.
The other releaf forces were a 2 thousend of Redanians, led by a well known warlord - Olgierd von Everec. Olgierd was a redanian noble, who have made a pact with the demon known in this world as Ghaunter O Dim. Demon have done Olgierd's wishes by hands of the withcher - Geralt of Rivia. However thanks to Geralt's help, Olgierd managed to break free from the literal pact with the devil.
Knowing now how it feels to have heart made out of the stone, he have choosen to end his days on his terms. So he have started to gather young redanian nobles, and anyone who wanted to fight and wanted get rich by war and fight.
Soon the Hjalmar's fleet have shown up on the horizon. Nilfgaardian commander, unsure of thier intentions did not reacted. It was a fatal mistake. The Islanders have crushed into the blocking fleet and thier admiral died by the hand of the Hjalmar himself. The releaf also brought the supplices for the starving city. Reinforced by the newly arrived forces the defenders decided to do a sorty. However the blacks were still a dangerous foe, that could not been ignored. They tied up the defending forces, and a brutal combat occured.
It was this exact moment when the second relieaf force came to the rescue. Led by Olgierds Redanian nobles have charged from the eastern flank and broke thrue the siedging foe, with Olgierd leading the charge. Despite the efforts of mages, and nilfgaardian commanders the troops started to panic. Commande Vhooris was trying to rally his soldiers but quickly he was found by the Olgierd who personaly broke thrue Vhooris's men and cut of his head. However he was struck several times by the arrow. Still he continued to lead his men, chasing down running blacks.
After the battle Hjalmar, Hemmelfart, Djikstra, who revealed himself and still wounded Olgierd have came to the talk after the battle.
After a long talks Hemmelfart agreed to support Djikstra in his way for the crown, knowing that the spymaster could easly get rid of him. The times of the burning and sounds of tortured witches came to the end, especialy when a cruel commander of the Witch hunters - Menge gone.
The victory at Novigrad have costed Emhyr everything. He lost both prestige, support, wealth and loyality of his men. Shortly after the loss he was assasinated and his succesors agreed on Radovids terms. However it did not continued well for the mad king. He died in assasination killed by his former advisor - Filippa Eilhart. Without the king the nobles, encouraged by Olgierd - decided to elect Djikstra as the ruler of Redania. He would be known as the Iron Chancellor of the North - ruling just and equal, bringing peace to the North.
I would argue that canonical is that ending in which Radovid wins. Assassination plot is a sidequest and should not be taken into account. If you don't take part in it then Radovid wins. And if take this sidequest into account plus not taking it then it is still 2:1against Nilfgaard
Besides: Geralt with 90% certainty wouldn't accept this quest
The Devs seem to agree, the Gwent expansion "Iron Judgement" establishes that Radovid did win the war. He commences a massive purge of anything non-human or mage related and puts down a series of rebellions.
Yeah killed 98% of mages, healers and innocent nonhumans :D
Best price to pay to follow an insane king than a Tyrant :D

Btw estimating Nilfgaardian army as as much as 300 000 is quite a big mistake. When we hear that 300k number it's all personnel involved in military operation. Which means all non-combatant support as well. And that's quite large portion of army. In medieval french "lances" that was 33%. In Roman Legion that was 20%. Difference between 300k and 200k is quite significant.
The canonical ending of the 3rd Nilfgaardian War had always been a debate since The Witcher 3 was released 7 years ago, but I preferred the one that the Nilfgaardian Empire didn't win the war, and preferred Ciri to continue her training to be the Witcher. It was just my opinion
i for one really open for Ciri finish her training, having some advatures then later became Empress, feels like she's following her grandmother's Warrior Queen step
Agree with Ciri being a Witcher. She would be happier like that. But the north was better off with a sane, albeit ruthless, ruler like Nilfgard than with an insane king that promoted witch hunts.
@@mormegil231 Yes, she already saved the world, don't slave her to a throne as a reward.
@@mormegil231 while i only played the third witcher game I do believe Dijkstra was an excellent candidate for king he made a good speech and his ending mentions industrialisation so I do think this is an ideal ending as ciri gets to be free and Nilfgaard assasinates it tyranical emperor and a status quo forms.
@@Tommonius Yes but that would have to mean that Geralt abanndons Roche to die. That would never happen.
Wind’s howling!
12:20 is it just me, or 'as it turned out' bugged out in the background?
13:00 too*
Yeah I thought my psychosis was kicking in again
Not just you lol
I love hearing one of my favorite voices on one of my favorite UA-cam channels talk about one of my favorite fantasy worlds.
Carlo “Cleaver” Varese did not take up arms against Nilfgaard as he’d been killed during the nonhuman pogroms after the mages left the city.
I was irritated to hear a certain phrase so many times in the background which made me think something was wrong. So I started checking the video. "as it turns out" can be heard for each conversation between characters in the video. at 11:44 - 12:35, 12:55 - 13:24 and 13:46 - 14:16. At 13:51 seems to be the original audio of "as it turns out" ( I think ). Now, I just laugh it off as it is just audio for conversation in the video and not an equipment malfunction. I just felt that I had to post this after spending an hour on this video. 😅😂
Yeah, that part was driving me insane.
I already loved kings and generals but this channel is on new level it basically everything I love in one channel epic fantasy and sci fi worlds combined with massive battles and In-depth backstorys of the worlds
Amazing! Thanks so much for covering the Witcher universe! Great job guys :)
Outstanding work! Will be happy to see a Star Craft series due to its deep lore and epic clashes :) keep up the good work its EPIC! ♥
We need more Warhammer fantasy videos!
Loved the video. But i hoped this would have also covered the battle between nilfgard and skelligers against the wild hunt.
Ahhh nostalgia of such a great story. Alright, time for my 10th playthrough.
A similar series in the mass effect universe will be really good.
His name was Geralt of Rivia, and he found himself protecting his favorite romance options on a starship invaded by undead aliens?
How about the UN-MCR Cold War / War from The Expanse next?
Very well made video. I didn't know about the last part with the fall of Novigrad.
The only thing I don't like is the animated knight/figures that appear when you quote someone. I don't think they are necessary, and it looks sort of weird when they do their animations.
Video has a background sound looping as "As it turns out" starting around 11:45 and really goes for a while.

15:20 One of his most iconic and enlightening quotes 🖊️
Dear Wizards and Warroirs, could you tell me please what references did you use in this video? It would be very interesting for me to read them
Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt
complete fabrication
Books by Sapkowski, probably Gwent: The Witcher's Card Game (Novigrad DLC, but not sure) and of course The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt.
I think its fan-fiction,but I'm not sure yet
Could you do a series on The Legacy of Kain? That would be awesome.
Please do, I will gladly help if it means you make a series on it.
@wizzard note to you! From 11.55 - 13.20 min the background sounds keeps saying "as it turned out" the whole time! Keep up the work!
Warcraft in particular Orchish wars would be very very good in this channel
More of witcher lore please
Ah, a tad shame in seeing the choice of killing Sigismund. I saw him as the choice to repel an imperialistic power, even if he isn't a saint.
But many game players apparently sided with Roche because of the bro code and think it would be what Geralt would actually do in that situation 😂.
@@haiqal5333 Witcher neutrality n all that, sure. It's never simple.
@@maxkaufmann833 there's no neutrality when you're child is on the line 😂.
@@haiqal5333 Roach was the only bro Geralt had. Roche can kick rocks. Djikstra was a way more interesting character, raging prick or not. But then, I felt the same about Phillipa as well.
That’s true. Though he ultimately was also an imperialist himself, and was happy to murder his former Temerian allies in front of Geralt to ensure that the region remains under his direct rule rather than be an independent vassal of Nilfgaard.
Please make a video about the Battle for Doldrey from Berserk!!!
Dragon Age would be a good next universe to cover.
Gwynleve was just a captain not a general and he just commanded the garrison of the White Orchard area
I like it; I always rooted for Nilfgaard, and I think that it's more interesting to have a story where the "bad" guys won, but the "good" losing mostly meant that the peasants and merchants got better irrigation and mills, and there were fewer petty warlords and monsters.
Also, Ciri would make an excellent empress.
Man, it's like supporting USSR in taking over half of Europe, because it would stop arguments amogs them XD
@@krk5770 that is not a good comparison coz europe was and is much more rich, developed, scientifically and technologically ahead of russia with tremendous cooperation between them.

Excellent series guys i really liked it! I have finished witcher 3 with all the endings but i like the most, the one where ciri becomes a witcher.
there's alternative endings?
You know what would be cool videos to make? The Drenai saga battles of Druss the Legend
Agreed; with their close parallels to real world campaigns the Ventrian war and first and second Nadir wars (and the sieges of Dros Delnoch) would be excellent
If you listen between 12:55-1:25 in the background they keep repeating “as it turns out”. A miner error with the audio, but one that got a bit of a chuckle out of me (for some reason).
As it turns out!
What's the source material for the Novigrad siege?
Please cover the wars between the rhoynar and the valyrians from asoif
Thats actually a very cool sponsor you got this time, I've been preaching Finasteride for years.
Damn. I don't know much behind the scenes - like if it's even possible - but I wish they'd make a Witcher 4 and/or more books/movies/whatever. Very detailed and interesting stuff.
Nilfgaardian looking at the turmoil in the north be like "It's free real estate!"
All this makes sense, and i get why people would choose Roche over Dijkstra, but i still went with Dijkstra because a) fuck Emhyr and Nilfgard, and b) i find Dijkstra to genuinely be a fun mad lad
Hi, I´d actually be really interested in what precice sources you used. When I played witcher 3 I never stumbled upon the siege of Novigrad or anything like that really
this is complete fan fiction
@@Jacbtheguy547 did they mention it?
You might have wanted to keep that warning for longer so that people could read it.
I think cannon is that Ciri becomes a witcher and Voorhis becomes an emperor. He kills Emyr (or he just dies in captivity) and Emyrs name is much later cleaned up by Emperor Calveit in 1328.
What happened to Kovir and Poviss? Nilfgaard didn't want them?

Awesome stuff! ⚔🏹👍
Where does the info starting from 15:30 come from? i don't recall anything about a siege of Novigrad while playing the game
Would you consider doing a series on warhammer 40k? I'd like to see the dropsite massacre represented in this style of content.
I honestly doubt that they won't cover 40k. The problem is how much lore can they tackle before we all die of old age.
Problem with 40k is, that apart from the major events like the Heresy, all other lore cannot be considered cannon, as there is no cannon in 40k. This is even mentioned by GW.
Due to a lack of history in 40k, stories might be taken as propaganda or falsehoods, since the Empire of Man is huge, communication problematic and warp affects many aspects...
Where does the Battle of Novigrad actually come from? It doesnt happen in the Games certainly or does it?
Geralt in the second game was trying to clear his name because everyone was thinking he was a kingslayer. Also he was never into politics so i believe that it's more accurate not take part in the assassination of Radovid!
Fantasy’s have the most epic wars
Did anyone else notice the audio going a little fucky in this one lol
As it turned out
