  • The Wild Hunt are one of the most deadly factions within the world of The Witcher. Known throughout the realms as just a part of folk lore, to many they were just a story that you would tell to scare people. However, their true nature was devastating for humanity all over the multiverse.
    But where did the Wild Hunt come from? Why did they form? What was their ultimate goal and what happened to them in the end?
    In this video we look at the ghostly raiders who would enslave you and freeze your village. This is the lore behind The Wild Hunt.

      Im very down for Witcher lore, not many larger channels have even touched it. Free relistate.
      Do you find more interest in the deep Mythical type of lore, or the Biological nightmare kinda lore.
      Say mutants and gross vs magic and legends.
      Some franchises like Warhammer have both.
      Which is your preference if you can even chose, just curious.
      I bounce between You Roanoke and Lutin for a good mixture
      Of it all.

      A. Cyberpunk is made by the same the same game studio that makes the Witcher games.
      B. The actor who plays Geralt is leaving the Witcher and taking a role in a Warhammer 40k show.
      C. It's definitely funny to think about if you have a semblance of humor and enough knowledge about the three verses.

      IMO the books were ok for the first 2, to suck you in, then it got disjointed and went game of thrones, subverting expectations and leaving little to be invested in, the games are way better and the show was horrific, full of misandry and europhobia. Hoping the next game will be great, or I'll just do another playthrough on the witcher 3

I would set aside $1000 for each of this franchises as I did for the LORD OF THE RINGS. Both can realistically at minimum generate $10 Billion each. A double trilogy. Just imagine a cinematic scene of GERALT Having to slay his once lover since she is the BOUNTY. Or an unlikely ELVEN assasin drafted from the slums of DENERIM to become the hero GREY WARDEN.
