Emhyr was Emreis (Dani)

Dani, or the Hedgehog of Erlenwald, his real name is Emgir var Emreis, he is currently between 17 and 20 years old and he has lived with this curse since he was 13 years old. Because of the curse, he looks like a humanoid hedgehog, his body is upright and mostly human, but has sparse fur, quills, claws and a tail, and his head is completely hedgehog, the only thing that may be a little bit like a human skull, yellowish almost amber-honey eyes, a small hump on a long hedgehog nose, the quills on the very head are thicker, dark and long, and on the back they are shorter and can be hidden under clothes. Dani is long and tall and has a good strong physique and broad shoulders, although he looks thin. He wears quite loose but closed clothes because because of the curse during the day he looks like a monster hedgehog, and because the curse is not very correct, at night he turns back into a human, the clothes are a little old but not bad and comfortable, and he began to wear armor more often because he was trying to earn some extra money as a knight errant, very little, because for the most part he preferred not to show himself in public and not to show others that at night his human appearance returned. And as a person, he grows up as a tall, broad-shouldered young man, he has a distinct nose with a hump and deep-set amber eyes, a low forehead, black, straight hair that has grown back, he is quite thin but still strong.

In his younger years, even before the coup d'état, he was an open, cheerful young man, a favorite of his father the emperor, and very sincerely attached to his family, which made him the main target for the Usurper. But during the period of exile and his wanderings through the wild lands and forests and independent life, Dani learned to survive on his own, so he changed a lot for the good of his survival, became secretive and cautious, stopped naively trusting and talking a lot, especially not saying his real name, learned to be brave and desperate, and because he was the son of the emperor and lived at the court of the empire, he had small but strategic thinking skills, thinking ahead, and it was this coup d'état that also taught him a lot, but also forced him to have only one goal, to look for ways to break the curse and regain the crown and throne at the head of the Nilfgaard empire, because of his youth this is still difficult, he still has to live on his own and hide in wild places, but he is diligently learning this survival and hiding his identity, these wanderings through the wastelands and forests and the lack of constant interaction with people have given him some strange and animal habits, but they he diligently tries to dull.

Emgir var Emreis was born into the family of the Emperor of Nilfgaard from the Emreis dynasty, Fergus var Emreis, between 1220 and 1221. He grew up alongside his father in the capital of the state, Nilfgaard of the Golden Towers.

Fergus var Emreis was not distinguished by aggressive policies, he became famous for carrying out social and economic reforms in the life of the empire of the South. It is known that in the 1180-1190s he signed a treaty with the ruler of Kovir and Powys, Esteril Thyssen. According to him. Kovir refused to support the enemies of the Nilfgaardian Empire with military force or money that could go to the troops. Around 1234, a rebellion broke out in the Empire and Torres II the Usurper took the throne. Fergus was tortured for a long time to force him to cooperate with the new emperor, but the torture did not have the desired effect. Then the magician Braatens, hired by the usurper, turned his son into a monster, something like a humanoid hedgehog, in front of Fergus. The magician came up with this idea because the word "Emgyr" is translated from the local language as "Hedgehog". However, Fergus refused to be defeated and was killed, while Emhyr himself was released into the forest and hunted by hounds. However, the pursuit was not very active, since the usurper's people did not know that at night the boy returned to human form.

This is a different universe, on the mainland there are several kingdoms that resemble a typical human Middle Ages, for this universe it is truly medieval, there is magic and a bunch of mystical creatures from our various mythologies, mostly similar to European ones. of the kingdoms on the mainland are: in the south of the continent, occupying most of it and terrorizing other territories with its power, the Nilfgaard Empire, Emhyr's homeland, the Empire under the rule of Emhyr's father developed very successfully and had good connections and a developed politics, army and society, at that time the Empire was not so hostile, but with the coming to power of the Usurper, the government became more cruel and hostile. Across the Yaruga River to the west lies the kingdom of Temeria, at that time Temeria was ruled by King Foltest. To the east, across the mountains, lies the kingdom of Libya and Rivia, ruled by Queen Meva. Just above Lvia and Rivia is the kingdom of Aedirn. over Temeria the kingdom of Redania and over Aedirn reigned Caedwen. to the northwest of the kingdoms of Covir and Powys. and near Temeria in the sea are the islands of Skellige. This universe is characterized by various creatures. It was once an ordinary world, but once upon a time, a phenomenon called the Conjunction of Spheres occurred here, something like a portal through which all sorts of monsters and other races fell out of another universe and began to inhabit this land, and magic also appeared.

The intelligent species of the new races were not all delighted with this, like the elves, but most intelligent creatures eventually began to coexist with people, like dwarves (dwarves), some elves, halflings, vampires could also hide among people and parasitize, partly trolls and many others, and unintelligent creatures could live in forests and fields, and often attack people and villages, these are various ghosts, predatory mythological creatures, trolls, barghests, nakers, nebulae, harpies, kuroliski, leshy, large insect-like creatures, dragons, that is, a bunch of various creatures, and in order to keep the balance and protect intelligent races from such "pests" the Witcher guild appeared, these are skillful and specially trained mutant people who are created to fight all these creatures, this is what they mostly earn, although very little, because people can specially invite witchers for money so that they They killed the creature that settled somewhere near the village, for example, but usually Witchers don't get involved in politics and don't kill intelligent creatures. Currently, there aren't very many Witchers, because in principle, few people study them, and they are divided into different Schools, which are located mostly in the north, for example, the Wolf School, the Snake School, or the Bear School. The Common Tongue is widespread in the North, but Nilfgaard has its own language similar to Elvish, because it was there that many elves lived for a long time, which is why the Nilfgaardians consider themselves a superior race, more cultured, more educated, and wealthier, like the elves they are used to here, although elves are disliked in the North.
