In the short story "The Sword of Destiny," Ciri finds herself in Brokilon Forest, just like on the show -– however, in the original text, things happen quite differently. While "The Witcher" series does borrow elements of Ciri and Geralt's first meeting from the books, there are a number of ways in which the event differs. Whether the series decides to stay faithful to Cahir's original story arc remains to be seen. After his release, Cahir found himself on a surprising new path. In the novel " The Tower of the Swallow," it is revealed that after Cahir failed to capture Ciri during the siege on Cintra, the knight was imprisoned by Emperor Emhyr as punishment. Cahir's journey in "The Witcher" series is also much different from the books. While dopplers do exist in the "Witcher" books, there is no mention of the character of the Adonis, as he was created just for the series. Thankfully, Ciri sees through the doppler's ruse and escapes. Adonis then fools Ciri into leaving Brokilon Forest by promising to take her to Geralt. The doppler, Adonis (Ben Wiggins), tracks down Ciri by taking on the appearance of Mousesack. One of the largest departures from the books is the subplot where Cahir employs a creature called a doppler who can take on the appearance of any human. "I wanted to have a much fuller idea of who she was."Ĭahir plays a much more significant role in the Netflix series than in the novels. "I really wanted to get in and just dig into her past," said Hissrich. "The Witcher" showrunner, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, once spoke with TV Guide about diving into Yennefer's origin story. The books give very little information about Yennefer prior to meeting Geralt, only alluding to the fact that she used to have a curved spine and was once a student at Aretuza. In Sapkowski's short story, " The Last Wish," Geralt is directed to a sorceress in Rinde to help cure Dandelion, aka Jaskier (Joey Batey), from a genie's wish gone awry. The first time the reader meets Yennefer in the books is also the first time Geralt meets her. However, none of these details are in "The Witcher" novels. After years of service, and narrowly escaping an assassination attempt, Yennefer decides she has had enough of politics and strikes out on her own. Undergoing an intense transformation through powerful dark magic, Yennefer becomes the official sorceress of King Demavend of Aedirn.
