Witcher 3 complete sidelined this plot, so there really isn't much of anything to make sense of. Radovid was supposed to be the mad king who did anything to gain and maintain power. What better way to rally his people than to have a common enemy? His hatred for the mages mainly stems from Phillipa's mistreatment.

Fortunately it seems like Radovid lives canonically: what we know: - the next emperor will be Morvran Voorhis, member of the opposition. - If emperor makes mistake, he will be dethroned by his opponents. (Nilfgaard tree) - Philippa dies in 1276, killed by Willhemer ethereal fire priest. - Witch hunts end in 1276 too, that's pretty logical, once philippa dies, there is no more need do kill mages. - John Calveit, the emperor after Morvran Voorhis, is going to attend in wars in which he would use his zombie soliders. (Vivocaro academy, experimental rhemedy). Who can he fight with? Potentially skellige and NR, but skellige is less unlikely. So Northern realms haven't been taken by Nilfgaard - Now if you played the Witcher 2, you know exactly how little Geralt cares about politics. He was known as kingslayer for some time and he hated it so much, so whole TW2 story had to happen. He would never even attend in a coup.
No wonder he went crazy. His father was assassinated by the elves, many kingdoms had fallen to the empire, major rulers of the North were assassinated, he was left alone against the Nilfgaard.
@@fellowtemplar5679 He probably went crazy because of Philippa, of what she had done to him when he was young. And she was the one who invented killing Visimir.

When i hear this , i imagine a great war between witcher's realm and got's realm. Imagine redania , temeria , aedirn , kaedween , skellige , nilfgaard allying up against house of stark , greyjoy , lannisters , tyrell , targaryens , dorne
@Cloudy Nguyen Nilfgaard sucks. Radovid who is 17 years old crushes them by default in the third game and they had already lost two wars against the North.
Nilfgaard alone would annihilate the 7 Kingdoms of Westeros. Only strategic masterminds like Robb Stark can beat them in battle. Choke points like Most Caitlin and the Dornish marshes would prevent Nilfgaard from easily Conquering the North and Dorne. Vale can withstand invasion too. Regardless it would take all of the 7 Kingdoms united to beat Nilfgaard with Robb on the wheel.
@@deleted2302No, only the will of the author gave Nilfgaard not to win, and so there was no exploration, the magicians decided here, so no, ceas'raet e'er!

Me being a proud Temerian will always associate it with King Foltest and his entourage
