Blue/gray mismatch is because of translation from Polish. in Polish there is a somewhat archaic word "siny" for a gray/blue color and that's what the mountains are usually called in books: Góry Sine. this word is usually referring to body color, somebody unnaturally pale, as in from sickness or hypothermia, may be called that, also a Polish word for bruise derives from this word. the Bluebeard from the French folk tale in Polish is called Sinobrody.
Hi there Witcher George! i was going to ask you this question a long time ago.. but if you have the time Can you do a lore video about Geralt's scars and how he got them? I mean he has a lot of them and I'm sure every scar has a back story.. 🙏
The scars on his back he got in the witcher 2 he got wiped the small scar on his forehead he got from the cockatrice of spalla in the witcher 1 the big scar on his face the one on the left side of his face no one knows sorry that's all I know
Sie Jac yeah i can’t think of the direct translation but to my knowledge śine = cold, chilled or chilly so I can see why they’d call it the blue mountains
If you’ve ever been to the Smoky Mountains in the Appalachian range, you can imagine why the name Blue Mountains/Grey Mountains seem appropriate. The mist in the Smoky mountains can often seem like blue or grey smoke, especially in the early morning.
It's lore and my ideas of course but : When I saw the map in your video I understood the geological type of the region : there is a compression from West to East and that created a subduction. For exemple, we have to find jade for the "rune writer" in HoS. A mineral specie who is created very deeply in a subduction geological context. In the framed map who shows everything on it, we can see a fault and submarine mountains, maybe it's the rift who push the part of the sea between itself and the Blue Mountains (B M above). Other mountains could be the "piémont" as we say in french of the mountain range exept for ones above the Kovir : they could be the beginning of the B M because of the presence of a pre-existent range or a old one created before the B M. That mean one thing : the witcher's world is an active planet, there was an other continent there or "nearby" before the collision, the witcher's planet is circular and that involve there an ocean around the known continent and maybe an other ! That's all 😆
Ho, I'm suddently remembering something, in your video about Dettlaff, you said his special ability is to transform himself into a monster, but Regis say when you meet him for the first time, Dettlaff's special ability is packing lesser vampires like wolves packs. And you can find some vampire's jewels in the cave of the Elder Unseen representating winged humanoids like Dettlaff
Mountain ranges are called blue due to the haze when seen from a distance giving them a slight blue tint. Grey would be due to more exposed grey rock and lower humidity.
I am doing a new game plus on the Witcher 3 after beating it 3 years ago, the Netflix series made me want to play it again. Spoiler warning: question related to the video game and blue mountains. Do we know if the Red Baron ever comes back from the Blue Mountains? I don’t ever remember anything but was curious because I just passed that part in the story again.
Keep up the amazing work! I put your videos in a playlist and listen to the lore videos while I play Witcher. I love your videos they're very informative about the game/books/shows. Even turned on all post notifications.
As a newcomer to the Witcher series (strangely enough the bestiary was what drew me to the game series but I couldn't enjoy Geralt as a character that often so it was just recently I decided to play them) I freaking love these videos that you do for lore about characters but also areas like the Blue Mountains. I'm also curious if you'd be doing a video about GWENT specific characters like Eldain?
Hey George! I really enjoy your content but I need mooooore haha keep it up man. Maybe some Videos about the world/map of the Witcher world? Where what city/monarchy lies? How they stand to eachother ? maybe some clearification type video which helps me understand the map & kingdoms a bit more. Much love & I cant wait for the next witcher game + episodes!!!!
The quality of these videos is always great. If you care at all for one criticism, lower the background music. The volume is a bit overwhelming over your baritone voice.
Have you done anything concerning the span of time between the second and third game? Like what happened to the Pontar valley? I saved saskia, where is Iorveth? What happened to Yennefer between the time Letho told Geralt where she was and when Geralt found her in White orchard? I mean did he go down to Nilfgaard first to look for her? Or did he go straight to Kaer Morhen after Loc Muinne?
*@Witcher George- Fantastic channel, I love all your lore videos and the Vampire videos are some of your best! I realize you have done a few videos on the vampires and the different types; however, I would love to see yet another one based on each vampire class from Catacan to Bruxa to Higher Vampires and all the ones in between! Exploring the bottom vampire tier up to the next tier the one after that all up to the Higher Vampires!* Now you could explore estimates related to the number of Higher Vampires on the continent and their relationships to those beneath them. Speculation on the dimension that the Higher Vampires come from and what kind of insane world it must be where these HV’s live their lives is crazy to imagine! Are they the top of the food chain in their realm, or is there another race more powerful and strong than the HV’s that keep their numbers in check? With so many different clans of HV’s that may be the case where they band together to strengthen their positions against what or who? Speculation on the true relationship between the HV’s and those that are lower down the totem pole…are they related to one another somehow beyond their thirst for blood? If so what is the true source of this crazy vampirism affliction? Is there a vampire god? So much to explore, and if put into another great vampire video by yourself then I am confident it will be explored in detail between the books and games! Please consider doing this!
It’d be so cool if you stared a new series where you like read the books to us and stop each time you reach a term or topic that is worthy of making a video on. The next video is just picking up in the book where you left off and continue on until you reach another term or topic. You’d have unlimited available videos ideas, and we’d be able to see an in depth analysis of the lore from start to finish of the story.
Is it normal that i get mocked because i know the witcher universe through the video game and not the book? I love your videos i love this unverse and i want to learn more and more about it :)
How big do you guys think the continent is? Obviously it isn't the entire planet. I would assume that (if the planet is comparable in size to earth) the continent is itself comparable to Europe. Imagine if in further games you have a kind of pioneer storyline where expeditions across the mountains or over the ocean begin. Imagine the possibilities for newer monsters or political things.
I was wondering which creatures of Witcher are original ones, meaning they have no counterpart in real-life mythology? What are names of these creatures in question?
Hey I wanted too point something out here did you know that the blue mountains are in The inheritance cycle and LOTR and the Witcher and I am pretty sure the who the bloody baron takes his wife too see is riges
When it comes wether the Grey or Blue mountains is correct name wellll neither, in Polish version it's "Góry Sine" and "Sine" is Word that english language Simply doesn't have. We can roughly translate it to Blue but it's greyish Blue (RGB HEX 8AA4B7)
dear witcher george some feedback: i realy like your videos but i get rather annoyed by the perpentual "ill make a full video about it later " look maybe go in to small things a little bit becouse i dont care if you give us more lore and hearing it twice , once more detailed and once a bit more basic, love your work tho
Imagine having the respect for your audience that you'd expose your eyes to 09' forums. Love the lore!
I live in Sydney Australia. We have a range called the blue mountains west of the city. Every time I’m up there I think of the Witcher.
Radovid The Stern those aren’t really mountains lol
Same. Didn't know Radovid lives in Sydney though
@Romeo M what the 😂
You live in Australia, that's basically the Witcher's world , full of monster and things that want to kill humans.
Seems every fantasy world has a blue mountains somewhere

The scars on his back he got in the witcher 2 he got wiped the small scar on his forehead he got from the cockatrice of spalla in the witcher 1 the big scar on his face the one on the left side of his face no one knows sorry that's all I know
@@witcherveins8047 Do you know how I got these scars ?
The blue mountains is also a widely used name in the real world. I personaly know 3 places named after it in Europe, Australia and North America
I heavily doubt they were named after it
@@Zak-ob5ze no shit? its not that weird of a name he wasn't saying that he was just pointing out a very likely coincidence
Isn't Blue Mountains also in Lord of the Rings?
Also Jamaica,blue mountain coffee is world renowned.
Sometimes the map of witcher is more complex to me than the globe of the Earth
Not even close.
especially since each map is Different from the others and no one really knows which map is correct
This is my favourite channel on UA-cam. The way you explain everything is brilliant and captivating. Keep up the good work
Video about Loc Muinne would be great
You should do a video about this race Called the Vrann! Considering they would be the only non-humanoid races in the Witcher universe.
Always enjoy the videos. Thank you
Hmm, english translation of Blue Mountains is weird. In Polish is Góry Sine, more like Livid Mountains.
Sie Jac yeah i can’t think of the direct translation but to my knowledge śine = cold, chilled or chilly so I can see why they’d call it the blue mountains
@@agc5076 More like Pale-Violet Mountains, but sound weird in english. We call bruises - siniaki.
Sie Jac oh yeah my polish ain’t the best but you’re right
dark bluish gray mountains? hmm, nah, not that weird :P

Can you do a video on Nilfgaard? And make a video on other mysterious countries, kingdoms, & places in The Witcher Universe?

I could see the Blue / Grey difference being due to snow (altitude or lat/longitude differences). More snow making them more grey etc.
Mountain ranges are called blue due to the haze when seen from a distance giving them a slight blue tint. Grey would be due to more exposed grey rock and lower humidity.

Nope! Nothing is known.

Please make a video on Saskia! She is one of the most interesting characters in the whole franchise! I would love to see you post a video about her!
The quality of these videos is always great. If you care at all for one criticism, lower the background music. The volume is a bit overwhelming over your baritone voice.

could you go to a bit more detail about these Vrann people in a future video maybe? they sound kinda dope ngl.

Lol I was looking to see if you did a video on the Blue Mountains and sure enough you just uploaded this 20 minutes ago.
I would like to see Gwendeith. Dol Blathana and Ban Ard are cool too. Revisiting Kaer Mohren always brings memories back...
I was listening to toss a coin to your Witcher
And someone wrote “I didn’t know they created a game based on the series...”
Dummys
Fuck toss a coin to your witcher and everyone who likes it.
Holy sh..Graal !
been watitng for this
Awsome work, I didn't know this stuff, I love your vids and you should do a lore video on unicorns
I love your videos! Very deep and passionate.
yes pls do very detailed video on kaer morhen and its valleys locations pls.
How is this channel so small with the quality of its videos?
Hi Witcher George! You gonna do anymore with your school of the Leshen? Loved the original lore :)
It’d be so cool if you stared a new series where you like read the books to us and stop each time you reach a term or topic that is worthy of making a video on.

Have you done any videos about the land of a thousand fables? If not could you make one
Is it normal that i get mocked because i know the witcher universe through the video game and not the book?
I love your videos i love this unverse and i want to learn more and more about it :)
The story of Professor Moreau might be an interesting video to make. I would love to watch it
Oh yes, the hidden valley, where witchers train and make ranch dressing.

I wanna see Bol Blathanna in a witcher game
I wish we can upgrade and customize the Kaer Morhen. İnstead of Corvo Bianco i would like to live there.
But Blue Mountains also appear in the show.
Fun fact:
Blathanna means flowers in gaelige/irish
DotTheDwarf Dol Blathanna is the Valley of Flowers!
@@pouriaabadsafian neato
You should do a video about how big the Continent actually is.
Entertaining videos ✔️
Relaxing voice ✔️
Have you noticed any surge in the community after the Netflix series?
What is behind the blue mountains?
Surely you make an extended lore video about Geralt himself
Are those the mountains east of Kaer Morhen?
Can you do a video about the Mutations from "Blood and Wine"?
hot damn big thx for this one
The Northern Kingdom you mentioned was Cidaris right?
I am curious what lies to the east of the blue mountains
I'm curious is there any cannon way to traverse the Blue Mountains to the rest of the world at the East?
I was wondering which creatures of Witcher are original ones, meaning they have no counterpart in real-life mythology? What are names of these creatures in question?
Habla sobre Kovir
Hey I wanted too point something out here did you know that the blue mountains are in The inheritance cycle and LOTR and the Witcher and I am pretty sure the who the bloody baron takes his wife too see is riges
What is beyond the blue mountains?
How did a bunch of peasants find and then defeat a school of Witchers at Kher Morhen
Here to find the Bloody Baron and his sickly wife..... Inquiring minds want to know if he finally got her healed.
Wish you would render a real 29:1 image next time without black bars.
What lies beyond the blue mountains?
What's beyond the Blue Mountains towards the Far East?
My choice would be Dol Blathana.
When it comes wether the Grey or Blue mountains is correct name wellll neither, in Polish version it's "Góry Sine" and "Sine" is Word that english language Simply doesn't have. We can roughly translate it to Blue but it's greyish Blue (RGB HEX 8AA4B7)
