  • What is the school of the leshen? In this video I try my best to explain the history of the school of the leshen. I will discuss everything we know of this witcher school, including mythology and general witcher lore! Of course this is all just for a bit of fun and not actual lore, but it's something for the witchergeorge community to have fun with Be sure to like the video for more of the same and subscribe if you're new and love the witcher!
    The Witcher® 3: Wild Hunt is a story-driven, next-generation open world role-playing game, set in a visually stunning fantasy universe, full of meaningful choices and impactful consequences. You play as Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter tasked with finding a child from an ancient prophecy.
    Geralt of Rivia, is a witcher, or monster hunter for hire, a white-haired and cat-eyed legend in his own time. Trained from early childhood and mutated to gain superhuman skills, strength and reflexes, witchers like Geralt are a natural consequence of and counterbalance to the monster-infested world in which they live. As Geralt, you’ll embark on an epic journey in a war-ravaged world that will inevitably lead you to confront a foe darker than anything humanity has faced so far-the Wild Hunt.
    Built exclusively for next-generation hardware, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt marks a new era in RPG visual quality. Raising the bar for the entire genre, with its deeply integrated 5.1 audio and jaw-dropping graphics powered by CD PROJEKT RED’s proprietary REDengine 3, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt promises an entirely new kind of experience.

    This is so interesting and imaginative, yet stylistically fits in well with canon lore. A lot of fan written, noncanon stuff can be imaginative, but too out there, because it's difficult to achieve that sense of style that jives with the actual lore while also exercising one's imagination. You've done very well with this! I would love to see something like this, especially wooden armor, in the game.

    School of Golem
    This school orignally founded by a engineer and a witcher from unknown school, rumor say that this school was made to protect ancient artifact and study them so they arent lost.
    Many witcher from this school prefer light armor but the weapon that they where useing is more advance, some have bow that fire what they call bullet some use great switch axe that change form axe to sword and shield at will and etc.
    Location of this school is unknown but some rumor say they where in nilfgard.

  • @crozraven
    @crozraven 4 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    Here's my witcher schools idea:
    + School of Dracul/Dragon: have the extensive knowledge & expertise in fast healing mutagen & vampiric features. rumored that this witchers would drink the blood of monsters to heal & gain unique powers. Some of the witchers in this schools also able to meditate without any foods for months. They also use a unique fire based gauntlets that enhanced igni sign & they have a unique igni sign techniques.
    + School of Panther: Agile & strong, particularly the expert in night hunt & these witchers always clad in black brigandine armor. These witchers actually hunt in pair. These witchers also use a unique repeating crossbow.
    + School of Kelpie: Very unique school 'cause this witchers able to use a new water based sign. Totally amazing in water/swamp hunt & horseback combat.
    + School of Gargoyle: Very strong witchers with heavy plate armor. These witchers use a silver poleaxe or silver coated mace with a shield to fight. what they lack are poor magic signs powers, but this witchers also proficient with bombs.
    + School of Siren: The most unique witcher school as the school able to produce female witchers. Very mysterious & likely to be so few them, almost a myth even. It's to be believed they do not possessed cat eyes-like mutation, so likely they're much easier to mingle with most communities as professional hunters or other professions.

      Also, I really like the Kelpie idea. Everything in the Witcher Universe shows witchers to be deficient in fighting aquatic monsters. So I’ve thought before of a witcher school that’s totally geared to fight aquatic monsters. A school where witchers are given amphibian mutagens to allow them to hold their breath for hours at a time and be extremely nimble swimmers.

    And it’s a school where they use Vampire mutagens in the trials to improve their Witcher ability like strength, speed, agility & intelligence and make them as vigilant as a higher vampire...
    in short they’re Vampire-Witchers without the bloodlust/blood sucking.

    My story follows a young scholarly fellow no older than 15. He is extremely smart for his age and wanted ever so desperately to be a Witcher. Because of this he trained with sword at a very young age a honed his skills. He also studied the different Witcher schools before he set off on his 10 year long journey of finding all the Witcher school keeps. He started his search/studies at Kaer Morhen. Seemingly abandoned he rummaged around the ruins of Kaer Morhen reading ancient texts furthering his knowledge of the infamous Witcher’s. Yet he was not satisfied with this knowledge he wished to see a Witcher in action study them and who better to study the most infamous Witcher to ever live, Geralt of Rivia himself. Geralt refused to train the boy stating he had no knowledge of how to turn someone into a Witcher he later called him foolish for even wanting to go through the Trial of the Grasses because the boy had no idea what he would be subjecting himself to. This did not discourage to boy however he decided that he wanted to figure out a way to turn himself into a Witcher while negating the side effects of the Trial of Grasses, so began a new mission. To start this new quest he decided to find Stygga Citadel former home of the disgraced School of the Cat. The mutations of the school were more aggressive than that of the wolf. Cat members wore light armor, were more agile in combat and relied heavily on fast attacks. Once he was done learning all he could at Stygga he set out for Haern Caduch home of the School of the Bear. When he found the keep he quickly began his studies. He soon learned that the School of the Bear shared similar characteristics to the people of Skellige. They were brawny and strong, focused on heavy weapons and armor. Over powering the enemy with brute force. He also learned that this particular school was one of the only ones to openly seek out the berserker curse. This would indeed make them a ferocious combatant. With the knowledge he learned at Haern Caduch he realized that at each keep there was a mural The Witcher George of the School of the Griffin. He’d read some texts about him and the other schools clearly regarded him as being one of the greatest Witcher’s to ever live. He decided that he would venture to Kaer Seren just north of the Dragon Mountains. Once he got there he was distraught seeing that the keep had been destroyed by an avalanche many years ago. He decided to look around anyway seeing how he made such a long journey to get there. To his surprise he found a small gap in one of the towers that he could easily fit through. Making his way through the keep he found the vast library of the school and spent well over a year studying the once great school. He learn that the school was well versed in Witcher signs that often rivaled that of sorcerers or mages when casting. He could’ve spent years studying the vast knowledge of the schools but there was still 2 schools he had yet to visit. First on his list was School of the Manticore located somewhere in the Korath Desert or Zerrikania. Alas he had no luck finding this school but from what he’d read about School of the Manticore was that they’d consisted of drunkards and whoreson’s. He then set out for Gorthur Gvaed home of the School of the Viper. This school were hired assassins not unlike the School of the Cat but the Vipers were a more prestigious school than there counterparts. They had a vast library and knowledge of the Wild Hunt which the boy now turned man read up on. He knew the Wild Hunt had been defeated but he was a scholar and wanted to know more about there magic and the one they sought. The Child of Elder Blood. He knew Geralt had ties with this Cirilla and that he had trained her in the ways of a Witcher but he did not know if she was dead or alive. He then decided to seek out Ciri if she lives and see if she would train him in the ways of a Witcher, thus far most of the training he had done was by himself accepting small contracts just to get by on his journey. Three long years went by before he finally found Ciri. She was a tried and true Witcher and as beautiful as ever. Seeing how she was an honorary Witcher she decided that it couldn’t hurt in training the young man in the ways of a Witcher. With the knowledge he had already gathered from his journey most of his training was done within a year. Although he had to learn to cast signs on his own. Ciri knew the basic knowledge but being that of the Elder Blood prevented her from casting Witcher Signs. When his training had been completed he had decided to test his version of the Trial of the Grasses. Ciri was against it at first but seeing how much it meant to him she decided to help. Miraculously it worked. He had none of the visible side effects that the other Witcher’s had. The mutagen treatment was different, technology had advanced and he adapted it to his time. He was a knew bread of Witcher. One that was stronger, faster, and smarter. One that had all the knowledge of the past schools. He decided to form his own school and called it the School of the Dragon. Ciri helped him establish the school but she remained Loyal to the School of the Wolf even tho she was romantically tied to our young Witcher. None the less they married a few years later and had a couple children. Which were adopted into the School of the Dragon. The end. If you wanna contact me or something feel free that’d be awesome this is just something I thought of one day. Pretty cheesy but oh well it’s supposed to be.

    If Geralt decides to go back in Fayrlunds as his home base, talk to Harald about the teachings, recruit the young kids as Witchers solely for monster hunting and game hunting, and implement the Witcher training fused with the old ways. Geralt might be able to found the School of the Leshen and probably be the best Witcher school in history. Skelligers are known to be big and strong men like School of the Bear. The old way teachings feels like more on loyalty and true skills.

    Hey Witcher George. I enjoyed your tale of the school of the Leshen. You've made enough enjoyable videos that you definitely deserve your chance to share your personal Witcher Story with the world. I think that entertaining our personal thoughts of the possibilities of the World of the Witcher is probably why so many people love the games and books. They say so much while leaving so much unsaid and thinking about the world of the Witcher remains a fun past-time for myself. I'm glad you shared this. Thank you.

  • @ironwolf2244
    @ironwolf2244 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    A School of the Raven or School of the Elk would be good I think.
    - School of the Raven:
    These Witchers are a splinter of the School of the Griffin. After the dissolution of that order, many former Griffin Witchers sought ways to preserve the ideals of the Griffin School. They would seek those they saw as corrupt or dangerous, and eliminate them. This being anyone who abuses power, causes harm to innocents, and lower minded monsters. They came to believe that operating in the shadows is the best way to achieve this goal, so they began using reconnaissance tactics. They specialize in swift weapons, usually a thrusting sword and dagger.
    - School of the Elk:
    These Witchers live simple lives. They specialize in alchemy and long ranged combat, favoring the spear and bow. They have no single Keep, instead living in multiple strongholds isolated from common areas. Some are in Skellige, and a few are scattered in the North. While they do not permit outsiders into their strongholds for extended periods of time, they do conduct trade on occasion, and will use their skills in alchemy for the purpose of healing.

  • @msherwood69
    @msherwood69 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    my personal idea has been 'School of the Owl', which is currently in the process of being founded by a witcher seeking to rediscover/save all of the lost knowledge from the defunct or dying schools, and unify them under one school. Since witcher schools are named after animals whose aspects they identify with, i think owl would be a good choice since owls are associated with knowledge.
    This school would probably use light armor and value high speed attacking styles (similar to how owls are speedy predators) but would also allow their witchers to choose for themselves, since the School of the Owl would have compiled knowledge from schools like the Bear, Griffin, Cat, etc. This leader would also gather the few remaining witchers from the dying schools, like Gaetan, Letho, and the Wolf school witchers. Their vision for the school would be similar to the School of the Cat; the Owls would be mercenaries for hire, since that is the sort of jobs most in-demand in modern-day. Because they have access to a variety of witcher school knowledge, this would make them highly versatile. They can assign witchers more resembling the School of the Bear as bodyguards or elite mercenaries, or light armor witchers similar to the School of the Cat as assassins.
    you, as the protagonist, could choose to aid this leader in their goal of reviving the witcher race, or you could choose to put an end to the violent and barbaric practices required to make witchers. You could also imagine if this leader was somehow involved in politics, where siding with or against them also affected what kingdom or political faction you end up with.

  • @wafflingmean4477
    @wafflingmean4477 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I feel it's quite likely that this school's members would primarily be former members of other schools as the living members of other schools are now in single digits. If they wanted to band together to some extent and be one school despite not being able to create new witchers, none would wish to abandon their own school's symbol. So taking a new one for all of them would be the compromise.

    School of the fox, a sneaky, fast, crossbow slinging, spell shooting, sword swooshing nightmare! They use weak blows, but they do it really fast dealing lots of magic. They use two pocket crossbows, powerful spells and extremely light shortswords. As weak and puny as they are you don’t want to come across one.They can jump really high and dash faster than whirlwind sprint from Skyrim! They never speak to their enemies because for them it is a sign of mercy if you socialise with a target. They aren’t as pissy as the other schools though, they are pretty nice to their colleagues. That... is The School of The Fox.
