The law of surprise isn’t always a child, and Duny/Emyr and pavetta (to my knowledge) didn’t know she was pregnant. They get home and his wife surprises him with an adopted orphan- for the second time, destiny gave Geralt Ciri to him as a child of surprise. Guy says " wife can't give birth anymore if there's a kid you're hoping for, you're going to be sorely sorry, but I can give you a grown son as an apprentice". The guy he saved he had asked for law of surprise as payment. Side, side note- in the books, this is how Geralt gets Ciri back. Also, Geralt was being a smart ass and trying to wiggle his way free of the situation.Īs a side note, in the games Eskel got his warhorse that way- law of surprise and the rancher he saved came home to a surprise foal. It was kind of ingrained in them to do this by their guild, then they would bring the children back for training and Trial of the grasses. ![]() Then they return in exactly 6 years to claim the child, hoping it was destiny and there is a child to claim, and that it's a boy. There's a big theme of infertility throughout the series for witches and witchers and by using the law of surprise as payment, that was one of the few ways Witchers could in the past aquire children to continue on their line/ legacy and make more witchers. I think we can all agree that, now that our three leads are together in one timeline, the series has been much easier to follow.It's also explained in the book that Witchers often invoked the Law of Surprise when a large unrepeatable debt was owed in the hopes of it being a child. This, of course, took fans right into the events of the second season, with all timelines being set in the "present,” and happening from 1263 through sometime in 1266, based on what went down in The Witcher Season 2 ending. Finally, in the forest near Sodden Hill, Ciri and Geralt have their first meeting. The next day, Geralt was still recovering from a ghoul attack, and was taken by the merchant he saved back to his family's home, where, unbeknownst to everyone, Ciri had been brought by the merchant's wife earlier. Yen had joined other powerful mages at the Battle of Sodden Hill, and after a lot of losses, finally gathered all of her chaos to deal a deadly blow to Nilfgaard's forces. The year is 1263 for everyone in Episode 8 ("Much More"), and after the fall of Cintra, which had Ciri fleeing her home and Geralt breaking out of the prison Calanthe put him in, both traversed the Continent in an effort to find the other.

When we meet him for the first time, he's doing his duty as a free-range monster-hunter, going where the trouble is so that he can make a living.ĭuring this episode, we see him given the task of taking out Renfri because of the local mage's feud with her, and he does, despite what I can only call simmering sexual tension with the former princess-turned-bandit leader. ![]() Remember, though, every time we see the princess during the course of Season 1, the year is 1263, so her portion of Episode 1 is already taken care of. We're off to a roaring start now! The events of the first episode ("The End's Beginning") cover both a lot of time with Geralt and some of the fall of Cintra with Ciri. ![]() (Image credit: Netflix) Geralt Becomes The Butcher Of Blaviken (Season 1, Episode 1)
