Let's talk about Caer a'Muirehen

[PanKarol]

This week Dandelion takes us to the secluded home of the witchers, the mountain fortress of Kaer Morhen. Learn about the place and the trials the witchers must face within its walls.

Kaer Morhen is still standing.

Unless, of course, you count the stairs!

I'm sure a little magic could help fix things up around there 

Great job, we need more stories like these, they're like travel guides. They could be called something like TGI-Dandelion-F or something. Oh wait, no, I work on friday nights... Saturdays? lol

Being made into a witcher sounds like it's just about as much fun as being made into Wolverine, i.e., none at all!

I'd say as much fun as passing kidney stones. Only because I find Wolverine extremely lame (go ahead, fanboys, yell at me if you must  ). So in that analogy I'd say, as much fun as watching X-Men.

Don't worry, Didi, I'll protect you. 

I haven't seen the new movie, but I've seen the previous X-Men movies, and I love Wolverine's go-for-broke, nothing-held-back attitude.  Kind of like how Geralt fights.

Really?  Wow, that's fascinating!  Could you summarize the differences for those of us who are not fortunate enough to speak Polish?

First it begins with Jaskier meetin the reader in a crowded marketplace. Why? Because of a small misunderstanding - he thought he was slapping a tavern girl on the butt which appeard to be a sorceress with a fiery temper...and he thinks she wouldnt be so rude as to send fireballs in the crowded place just to get even with him...
Secondly it explains the meaning and historical etymology of name Kaer Morhen - from elder tongue. He describes more ore less the surroundings and placement of the forteress. He talks about the "health path" that young witchers train on. They are either fit or dead (best option in failure is "broken body"). Describes the layout of the place and some flashes of history of the place - like the purge (up to 100 years back). Witchers brotherhood maintains there for 300 years now...still guarding its secrets..althou they are few in numbers now.

More or less, I bet I my scope of the strory does not give its credit, and Im sorry for that.

Thank you, Wisielec, that's very interesting!

Caer a'Muirehen, it means Stronghold of the Old Sea, and once it was by the sea...now in the moutains.
