Rivian Pogrom

The Rivian Pogrom (6 or 7 June 1268) was an incident that began in the marketplace of the city of Rivia. In mere moments, an argument between Nadia Esposito and some dwarves spiraled out of control. The entire group gathered at the marketplace descended into chaos as humans embarked on a rampage against non-humans. Geralt of Rivia was killed by the mob during this incident. It was not the only pogrom, there were others.

The Rivian Pogrom is an in-game book that recounts the tale of this incident.
