General Info

Event NameThe Slaughter of Cintra
The Massacre of Cintra, one of the darkest events in the Witcher universe, is a horrific testament to the brutality of war. Once a beacon of culture and prosperity, Cintra fell victim to an onslaught by Nilfgaardian forces. Infamously dubbed by the invaders "The Fun of Cintra", the attack caused massive destruction and untold devastation. The city was razed to the ground, its inhabitants destroyed in a blood curdling frenzy. The remarkable stories of heroism, survival and sacrifice during these carnage are inextricable threads of the tapestry of the Witch Saga. It inevitably left indelible scars on the continent's landscape and psyche. The incident is a chilling reminder that peace often hangs by a tenuous thread.

History

The Witcher universe created by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski is a dark and complex fantasy world. The series takes place on an unnamed, magical continent that was once hit by a cataclysmic event known as the Confluence of the Spheres. This introduces us to our protagonist, Geralt of Rivia, a witch, genetically enhanced and trained individuals who hunt monsters for a living.


The Witcher universe is inhabited by mythical creatures, supernatural beings, and magic that often wreak havoc among the inhabitants. The world is divided into kingdoms and empires, each with its own intrigues and political ambitions. One of the main themes of this universe is the blurred line between good and evil. The characters are not only good or only bad, but there are shades of gray, which makes the story even more interesting.


From the books, the universe has successfully expanded into video games, television series, and even graphic novels, making it one of the most beloved fantasy series of our time.
