[i][center]"Indeed, naught is more repulsive than these monsters that defy nature and are known by the name of witcher, as they are the offspring of foul sorcery and witchcraft. Unscrupulous scoundrels without conscience and virtue, they are veritable creatures from hell, capable only of taking lives..."[/center][/i]

The Witcher series is one of my favorites. Of all time. I read the books (that are currently translated), I played the games, and thought the would would be a perfect place to be in!

For those that don't know, [hider=Witcher backstory 101]

The stories are set on the Continent, which was settled several thousand years earlier by elves from overseas. When they arrived, the elves encountered gnomes and dwarves. After a period of war between the elves and dwarves, the dwarves retreated into the mountains and the elves settled in the plains and forests. Human colonists arrived about five hundred years before the events in the stories, igniting a series of wars. The humans were victorious, and became dominant; the non-human races, now considered second-class citizens, often live in small ghettos within human settlements. Those not confined to the ghettos live in wilderness regions not yet claimed by humans. Other races on the Continent are halflings and dryads; werewolves and vampires appeared after a magical event, known as the Conjunction of the Spheres, where many other hideous and dangerous creatures emerged.

During the centuries preceding the stories, most of the Continent's southern regions have been taken over by the Nilfgaard Empire; the north belongs to the fragmented Northern Kingdoms. In order to destroy the dangerous and evil beasts of the land, sorceresses stole human children from their homes and were subject to intense alchemical proccesses, mutations, and incredible physical and magical training. They are transformed into extremely quick, and skilled, and powerful monster hunters known as Witchers. [/hider]

There'll be detailed descriptions of different things later, but that's besides the point!

I was thinking about having the plot[b] loooooong after the tales of Geralt of Rivia. Civilization has gotten into their equivalent of the Renaissance... The amount of monsters died down, endless amounts of war shaped and molded the land into what it is now. With the new day and age, Witchers and Sorcerers were not needed, and the kingdoms thought them more dangerous than the creatures they were meant to defeat. A purge started, hunting down and killing every known Witcher, and Sorceress. 

Years after, only a handful of each survived. Witchers kept doing what they do best, and Sorcerers went into hiding. When a "Second collision" erupted out of nowhere, being led by a dark and evil force. The King of the New Age called upon one of the last Witchers to gather up his kind, train new ones, and gather the sorcerers in order to help defeat these new creatures of darkness. The witcher didn't have much choice, but he starts the long and dangerous journey to stop the forces of evil.

This is the plot, and I think it'd be super fun to play with! Now you wouldn't HAVE to play as Witchers and mages, you can be friends, bards, dwarves, elves, younger people training to be Witchers and Sorcerers/sorceresses,  anyone who wants to accompany the Witcher in his struggle! Action, gore, romance, and a badass quest!
