Differences[ | ]

  • The "Fake Ciri" was introduced much later in the novels and definitely NOT by Queen Calanthe, but by Codringher and Fenn. Although, in a flashback of Geralt in the short story "Something More", Calanthe tried to talk Geralt into taking just a child from the ten children she presented to him. After an emotional talk with the Queen, the Witcher leaves Cintra without even knowing the name or the looks of his child of surprise.
  • One main difference in the TV-Show: Geralt was in Cintra when Nilfgaard attacked. In the short story "Something More", he is just riding to Cintra, but the city already had fallen. Also in this short story, he hears about the terrible end of Cintra by his friend Dandelion, who is among the war refugees.
