<br>"After the war, the people of Rivia were unhappy. Poverty was the plight of many and most believed the kings and magnates had betrayed them during the peace talks by not exacting reparations from [[Nilfgaard]]. A scapegoat was needed and as usual it was the changelings - [[nonhumans]] and witches.
 
<br>A mere spark was required to send a furious crowd into the streets. Anyone who seemed different was targeted. [[Dwarf|Dwarves]], [[Elf|elves]] and those accused of using spells were all murdered. People also used the situation to settle old scores, loot and rape. I admit shamefully that few were brave enough to stand in defense of the persecuted. Among those few was the famous Geralt of Rivia, who in seeking to protect his friends was struck with a pitchfork and died. There would have been more victims if not for the intervention of [[Triss Merigold]]. The sorceress sent a powerful hailstorm down on the crowd. Only that powerful spell could stop the rioting. What happened to the body of Geralt of Rivia and those who stood by his side, I do not know."
