Yes. But, you guys need to hire a new voice actor. Try to find either a much older ancient sounding person with a slight accent or an irish or British person with a lower slower voice.
Great video! The Witcher lore is so vast, yet you made it easy to understand and follow. A small tip for future videos: "Gnome" is pronounced with a silent G.
Isn't the planet the Witcher takes place on just called "The World" or "The Globe" by the inhabitants and "The Continent" is the landmass where the story takes place ie Vizima, Nilfgaard, Rivia, Etc? Is "Neverland" just your place holder?
Yeah I’m curious why this creator keeps calling it “Neverland” and where they got it from… I wonder if it’s just not in the English translated versions? But there’s also a few other things that are fan theory here… not book canon and stuff that is just wrong on the timeline… chaos/magic got trapped on that world AFTER the conjunction (unless I missed him saying that?)
Can you imagine, so the elf's are mudafuckers, and Netflix's The witches made me believe they were the good guys being oppressed by humans and subjugated. Mtcheeeeeeeeew. Thank you very much for the wonderful and brilliant exposition on the lore of the witcher.
I appreciate your content. I've been following Witcher lore since the day Witcher 3 dropped in May of 2015 and have been hooked completely. To this day, Im still finding new things. Sapkowski is, in my opinion, our modern day Tolkien (sorry GRRM). I particularly love the idea that Vampires are an entirely different species. Being bitten by a vampire in the Witcher lore isnt a disease that turns you into one. Its just how they feed. This turns the entirety of fantasy lore regarding vampires on its head.
2:24 Where did you heard that from ? I hardly found any lore about the Spirale. 4:06 Are you sure they are the firsts? We know when the elves came to the Continent, not when they were created and even less if they are the most ancients sentients creatures of the universe. So far, they could be as ancients as the Gnomes or younger for all we know. 8:00 Again, i would very much like to know what is your source. 9:40 How ? There was already severals sentients species with their own nations in "Neverland" : The Dwarves, the Gnomes, the Nymphs, the Merfolk, the Bobbolaks and the Vrans. They were all already well established and developped before the elves came into TW world, especially the Dwarves and Gnomes. 12:07 They did not commit genocides since the Vrans still exist at the time of Geralt. Before the First Landing, they even still posessed their own kingdoms. It's not even certain there was a complete total war. Mermaids are not Nymphs. 16:23 There was a few monsters, there is a categorie of Monsters that are called the Relics and who actually originate from TW world unlike most other monsters. Also, you are forgetting about the Marmots people, the Bobbolak. 17:22 Ok now you're inventing things, the Aen Elle never settled on TW world, it was clearly stated they branched out from the Aen Seidhe in the Age of Migration. And as far as we know, the Aen Seidhe never tried to conquer or plunder other worlds like the Aen Elle did. We don't know why the Aen Elle are at war with the Unicorns though it is likely because they used to conquer other worlds and it is NEVER stated that the Elves tried to abused of the power of the Unicorns nor is it ever mentioned that the Unicorns created the Eternal Gate or saved the Elves from impending doom.
12:07 The elves definitely did commit genocide on Vrans as their numbers almost close to zero at the time of Geralt. There were no living vrans in Witcher games & Geralt's dad was one of the only characters that directly encountered Vrans in the earliest lore of the series.
@@crozraven No, Vrans aren't extinct during Geralt time, it's just very rare to meet one in a human settlement (which is where most of the books happens) because they mostly live in reserves like other non-humans or because they have fled beyond the Blue Mountains. And also because Spakowsky wantted to focus on the more "traditionals" fantasy races. Humans are the reasons why Vrans are so rarely seen because they are more aliens to humans than elves or dwarves since the Vrans are emotionless and don't believe in gods or afterlives which put them at odd with humans clergies. After the last war between humans and Vrans, the survivors either fled to the Blue Mountains or were enclosed in reservations with the Werebubbs. So conflicts between elves and Vrans might have been a thing but the Aen Seidhe didn't genocide them.
@@efaristi9737Mass targeted slaughter of a certain group is genocide regardless of if that genocide was completely successful or only mostly in wiping out the target group.
@@Austib_ But the elves did not "mostly succeeded in wiping out the target group". Even if what happenned in Loc Muinne is canon, Vrans still had their own realms on the Continent beside the realms of the elves. Which mean that even if there has been conflicts, the elves still didn't tried to genocides the Vrans. It is canon that the Vrans realms were destroyed by the humans who thought the Vrans to be demons because of their cold demeanor and because they are atheists. Elves didn't chase the Vrans beyond the Blue mountains or lock them up in reserves, humans did.
Where did you get all of this source from? I hardly remember anything you mention from the books but video games are not canon to the lore. I dont even think the world of The Witcher is that complex since Sapkowski never bothered to create even an actuall official map of the continent. Although he mention the Vrans and elves not being the original inhabitants and that is as far we know of the history of the continent. Not much more.
The games are canon if you want them to be. CDPR took so much effort explaining things the books didn't explain and adding things that make sense to enrich the lore that the books didn't have. Saying the games aren't canon, at this point, sounds a little bit meaningless!
Did you learn something new about the History of the Witcher World?
I didn't know about the Vran. Funny they put lizard people in the game lol
Yes. But, you guys need to hire a new voice actor. Try to find either a much older ancient sounding person with a slight accent or an irish or British person with a lower slower voice.
Don't pay attention to that one guy. Your voice and cadence are fine for most people anyway.
@@j-tv8890you’re telling this creator to replace himself…
@@OldWitcher i learned that you haven't read the books, otherwise this wouldn't be full of misinformation
Great video! The Witcher lore is so vast, yet you made it easy to understand and follow. A small tip for future videos: "Gnome" is pronounced with a silent G.
Outstanding for explaining in detail lore of the Witcher universe. I truly appreciate all of your hard work and dedication to the lore.
undod actually means unity in welsh which was a nice touch to symbolise the elves galvanising together at the beginning

Is "Neverland" just your place holder?
the name of the world is never mentioned indeed in the books. And the continent is just called the continent.
@@efaristi9737 Good. So I'm not trippin' and missed a detail like that during reading. It's like, "I would remember a detail like THAT!"
@@armandowillem rest assured, you didn't XD

1:35 if you wana skip the intro lol
What about the planet of Elves you find in that one Novigrad mission with the inter dimensional Elve, where the guy was painting the blocky women
It doesn't have a name either, we only know the name of its capitale, Tir na lia.
Awesome video.

Well, books primarily, then games. That depends on the info you're referring to.

@@HoublonMageThe games are a piece of elaborate fanfiction.
@@Smuusik Call it what you want.. the games are more interesting
looking forward for part2! and more. the witcher world is quite confusing. when I read that Ciri met knights from arthurian legends. I thought wtf
What causes the white frost? is it a cosmic cataclysm that can travel anywhere in the universe?
great video is it ok if I ask you a question
Silent G in gnome, brother 👍
Real G's move in silence like lasagna! (c).
Neverland? who calls the Continent 'neverland'?
The audio for this video had been recorded BEFORE the following explanation post was made:

You had me as soon as you mentioned the fraudulent Netflix show!
Why is it said skyrim tf 😂? Dovakin would solo the entire verse… game description said its skyrim
Has this youtuber even read Sapkowski's work, or is this channel entirely video game, non-canon lore?
Ok so I’m not barmy… cause I’m like.. some of this is just flat out wrong
@LizardsLore nope you're not crazy. This youtuber doesn't know what they're talking about. I doubt they've read the books.
