Iorvet

In addition, the White Wolf finds Philippa's stiletto taken from Iorveth from one of the soldiers, implying that he single-handedly managed to free the blinded sorceress from the dungeons of Radovid and lead her to a chest locked by magic. After that, he took off her dimerite and forced her to open the casket, took a stiletto to remove the spell from Saskia, but Philippa struck him with some kind of spell of high magic, and she herself turned into an owl and flew away. Stunned, Iorveth fell into the hands of the Kaedwenis. That way, when Iorveth recovers, he will have every chance of breaking Saskia's spell with a stiletto. Iorveth does not appear in Lok Muinn after the defeat at Vergen. In the event that the Council and Chapter of Sorcerers have been revived, Triss mentions that several sorceresses have been sent to find Iorveth and that the elf is the number one enemy of the state.

Iorveth's Epilogue

Upon returning to the city, Geralt finds it devastated. If he and Iorveth had previously led Philippa out of the dungeons, the elf met him at the breach of the wall, and if Geralt spared Saskia or disenchanted her, the commander of the Scoia'tael sincerely thanks him. Iorveth then mentions that the sorcerers were hunted and a massacre broke out in the city. The squirrel commander also reveals that Leto is waiting for Geralt with Triss on the site of the old Temerian camp. Having made his way there, the witcher asks the elf to wait for him with the sorceress at the exit from the city, and he goes to Leto and asks him about everything. After Geralt either defeats the Assassin of Kings or lets him go, the White Wolf, Iorveth, and Triss leave the city.

If earlier Geralt saved Triss, then she meets him at the break in the wall and together they go to meet Leto. Along the way, they encounter several Kaedweni soldiers who are carrying an unconscious Iorveth in a cart. Geralt can either pass by or save the elf. In the second case, the witcher kills the soldiers, and Triss finds out that Iorveth was injured by some complex magic spell, and it will take several months to heal him, but she copes. After that, the sorceress teleports the wounded elf to Vergen, and Geralt goes to his last meeting with the Kingslayer.

When Philippa and Síala's role in the deaths of the kings of the North is revealed at the council, the Knights of the Order of the Flaming Rose are about to capture de Tanserville, and Saesentessis in dragon form attacks the council. If Iorveth came with Geralt, he asks the witcher not to kill her unless it is absolutely necessary. Geralt engages in a fight with the dragon, during which she is seriously wounded. If the witcher received a stiletto, then he can remove the curse from her, otherwise the White Wolf either finishes off Saskia or leaves, leaving her alive.

If Geralt does remove the curse, Saskia returns to her human form and reveals that her father is the dragon Willentretenmert, and that she will return to Vergen. When asked how she feels about Iorveth, the girl replies that he is a criminal and a murderer, although perhaps one day he can be forgiven. When Geralt hints to Saskia that an elf is in love with her, Saskia replies that perhaps one day she will need a human or an elf next to her, although she has always liked dwarves more. Iorveth does not appear in Lok Muinn after the defeat at Vergen.

Chapter III A week later, Iorveth and Geralt arrive at the ancient city of the Corvids of Lok Muinne. The elf makes his way into the city through the caves, and the witcher can either follow him or try to pass through the outpost of the Knights of the Order of the Flaming Rose. Once in the city, the companions overhear a conversation between the guards, from which they learn that Philippa is in the dungeon of King Radovid of Redania. Geralt and Iorveth separate: the witcher sneaks into the dungeon to the sorceress, and the elf searches Eilhart's house. Upon reaching Philippa, the White Wolf learns that Radovid has blinded her, and also overhears a conversation with the Nilfgaardian ambassador Shilard Fitz-Esterlen, from which he learns that Triss is still in his captivity. Geralt can then either save Philippa, and then she tells how to remove the curse from Saskia with a special stiletto, or take the unconscious ambassador hostage and go to save Triss.

Philippa4B2 In the first case, Iorveth meets a witcher and a sorceress in the tunnels and also demands that Philippa break the spell from Saskia. Together, they reach a chest with the required stiletto, which is locked by magic. To unlock it, Philippa is stripped of the dvimerite, and the sorceress does remove the spell from the chest, after which she stuns Iorveth, summons a golem, and turns into an owl and flies away. The witcher defeats the monster, takes the stiletto, and he and the elf go to the Levely. In the second case, Geralt does not meet Iorveth until the epilogue, but frees Triss and also comes to negotiate with the kings.

Iorveth the Siege When Geralt lifts the curse from the battlefield, Henselt's troops besiege the city. The witcher, along with Vernon, also makes his way through Vergen in search of the king who executed Roche's entire party. At some point, the companions separate, and Geralt meets Zoltan, who asks him to help Iorveth, who is in the grip of the Kaedweni knights. The witcher can go to the aid of the elf defending the Castle of the Three Fathers, and together they push back the attackers. The Scoia'tael commander is pleasantly surprised that Geralt came to his aid, but he is still angry with the White Wolf and has not forgiven him for his cooperation with Roche. Nevertheless, in gratitude for the rescue, Iorveth gives Geralt the silver sword of Navd Cid, after which he leaves Vergen.

Saskia puts forward conditions to the Kaedwenis: recognize the Free State in the Pontar Valley, leave Aedirn, pay an indemnity, swear never to attack Vergen again, hand over war criminals for trial and execution, including Detmold. In exchange for the executed councilor, Philip promises Henselt a new one - Séala de Tanserville. The king agrees to pay an indemnity, the amount of which will be determined in Loch Muinne, after which Saskia and Philippa let him go and enter a portal that transports them to the ancient city. Geralt and Iorveth suspect that Philippa cast a spell on the Dragon Slayer that suppressed her will, and find evidence of this in the sorceress's house. The elf is furious and swears that Philippa will pay for what she did to Saskia. Together, Geralt and Iorveth go to Lok Muinne. If Geralt decides to follow Vernon Roche, then during the quest "Prelude to War: Kaedwen", they arrive together at the Kaedweni camp, where preparations are underway for the attack on Vergen. Soon, the White Wolf travels through the Ghost Mist to Vergen, in part to retrieve from Iorveth the spearhead that killed Sabrina Grevissig. This relic is required by the witcher to remove the curse from Henselt. However, he does not need to negotiate with Iorveth, as he lost the tip of the dice to Scalen Bourdon.

The girl explains that very few people know that she is a dragon, for example, Philip and Iorveth, who came up with the legend that Saskia once killed a dragon. The elf's cunning did much to help the Maiden of Aedirn win over her followers and unite the Humans, elves and dwarves in Vergen.

Iorveth during the siege of Vergen Rising to the surface, the White Wolf and the girl find the final attack of the Kaedweni, led by King Henselt himself. Iorveth suddenly appears with reinforcements of elven archers, while Geralt and Zoltan fight their way to the main gate of the city and close it. As such, the Kaedweni forces are trapped between the outer wall of Vergen and the second level of the city under heavy fire from the Scoia'tael, with Henselt having no choice but to surrender.

Chapter II If Geralt decides to side with Iorveth, they will arrive together in the Lower Marchia during the quest Prelude to War: Aedirn. At this time, Henselt and Saskia will be in a negotiations, where the Maid of Aedirn demands that the king withdraw his troops and declares that the attack on Vergen was a predatory act. The king refuses, and a battle ensues, during which he fights Prince Stennis and seriously wounds him, after which in a rage he smashes the head of the priest of Olshan against a strange altar, which activates the curse: the Fog of War descends on the battlefield, and the ghosts of the slain warriors appear. Iorveth and Geralt save Saskia from the Draugirs, and together they return to Vergen. There, the girl organizes a military council, to which she invites Iorveth, and with the consent of the council members, accepts the Scoia'tael into the ranks of her army. However, at that moment, Saskia is poisoned by the poison from the goblet, and Geralt and the sorceress Philippa Eilhart prepare an antidote for her. Meanwhile, Iorveth and his elves guard the cupbearer, who has poured Saskia a goblet, as the kmet suspect him and Stennis of attempting to assassinate Saskia, using their reputation to keep the peasants from lynching. When Geralt manages to heal Saskia, Iorveth reports that there are several large detachments of Scoia'tael to the west of Vergen, and goes to summon them to defend the city. The witcher removes the curse from the battlefield, after which the Kaedweni troops attack Vergen. They manage to take the first level of the city, and over and over again they go to attack the second. Geralt and the Maiden of Aedirn push them back and descend into the dungeons beneath the city to prevent the scouts under Detmold from bypassing the wall defenders. In the catacombs, Saskia turns into a dragon to save the witcher from certain death, and therefore she easily manages to deal with the attackers and force the mage to retreat.

"I won't kill you, Roche. We, Aen Seidhe, do not kill endangered species." Iorveth

Meeting the Blue Stripes, Geralt learns their plan: Vernon is going to kill Loredo, who has sold himself to Kaedwen. Geralt and Bianca use different routes to enter the commandant's well-fortified residence, where they deal with him, while Roche and the rest of the Stripes will wait for their signal and make their way into the courtyard from the side of the forest. If Iorveth is not captured, then Roche confronts and fights him in the forest. Any of them can prevail in a duel. If Iorveth wins, he does not kill Roche out of respect for Vernon's courage and for his edification. If Roche wins, Iorveth claims that he must have grown old, and the commander of the Blue Stripes does not have time to kill his worst enemy due to the approaching Scoia'tael.

"You deserve to be tortured, but since you don't have the right tools at hand, I'll just chop off your head. You'll die like a warrior. "Good. "You'll be fine without your head." Dialogue between Roche and Iorveth

While Geralt and Roche are busy at the residence, the Scoia'taels in the port recapture the barque with their commander and sail to Upper Aedirn, where the Maid of Aedirn Saskia rules the Free State in the Pontar Valley. Geralt, Dandelion, Zoltan and Roche with their men follow them there.

Afterwards, Dandelion and Zoltan reveal the intentions of Roche and the Scoia'tael and Iorveth if he is not captured, respectively. The witcher can take either side - and this choice will determine his further Path, and if Iorveth was not captured by Vernon, the game will send the White Wolf to meet with Iorveth, and if he was captured, to the commander of the Blue Stripes, but Geralt is still free to choose any of them.

Meeting with the Scoia'taels, Geralt learns their plan: to break into the barque and sail to Upper Aedirn, where the Maiden of Aedirn Saskia rules the Free State in the Pontar Valley. If the witcher had previously given the sword to Iorveth, then he proposes a slightly modified plan: to play the sabotage again and sneak onto the barge at first only the two of them, passing off the squirrel commander as a prisoner. If Iorveth is captured by Roche, then he himself is on the barque, and in any case he will have to fight his way to it. Acting in any way, Geralt and the elves seize the barque, but it turns out that Loredo has locked the elves in the burning tower. Unable to watch them burn alive, the witcher rushes to the shore, and he is faced with a choice: save the girls or chase the commandant. If you go to the tower, Loredo will escape, if you kill the treacherous commandant, the elves will die. In any case, after these events, Geralt, Dandelion, Zoltan and Iorveth with their party go to Upper Aedirn, where Roche has already sailed on the Percifal. Before sailing, Iorveth tells how he encountered Roche in battle while Geralt was walking towards the rocks. Any of them can prevail in a duel. If Roche wins, Iorveth claims that he must have grown old, and the commander of the Blue Stripes does not have time to kill his worst enemy due to the approaching Scoia'tael. If Iorveth wins, he does not kill Roche out of respect for Vernon's courage and for his edification.

"Conquer not by force, but by bravery[1]." Iorveth

Leto really betrays himself and does not free Iorveth, saying that he should have gotten rid of the elf a long time ago, the elf snaps that then the Scoia'tael will kill Serrith and Egan, Leto's henchmen. The big man replies that the news of the death of the squirrel leader will not reach the Pontar Valley in time, and Iorveth calls his elves from an ambush. At the same moment, the Scoia'tael are attacked by the Blue Stripes and the Temerians, led by Vernon Roche. Iorveth demands that Geralt give up his sword, and the witcher has a choice that will affect subsequent events.

Deception (Angelina Lisovskaya) Deception, Gwent: The Witcher. In the card game , Geralt either gives the elf his sword and he engages in battle with Roche, or stuns Iorveth and Vernon captures him. The witcher himself meets in a duel with Leto, and they both fall into the elven baths, where Leto wins, but refuses to kill the White Wolf, since he himself once saved the life of the Kingslayer. Meanwhile, on the surface, if Geralt has armed Iorveth, the Scoia'taels are victorious, and in Flotsam the Inhumans are defeated at the instigation of the commandant due to the fact that many Temerian soldiers allegedly died in the forest - in fact, Loredo gave Roche to help ordinary thugs and mercenaries. If Iorveth is captured, the Temerians defeat the Scoia'tael, and a celebration unfolds in Flotsam over the capture of Iorveth. In the city, Geralt meets Dandelion, and together they learn that Leto forced Triss to teleport them to the city of Vergen in Aedirn with Síala's megascope.

Once in the city, the witcher saves his friends Dandelion and Zoltan Hivai from the gallows for allegedly aiding and abetting the Scoia'tael. After exploring the city and its surroundings, Geralt meets the commandant of the city of Loredo and the sorceress Síala de Tanserville, and also sneaks onto the barque where prisoners are kept, including those captured by the Scoia'tael, and interrogates the dying Kiaran - Iorveth's right-hand man. The elf reveals that the Kingslayer is a witcher named Leto, who betrayed the Scoia'tael and tried to turn Kiaran against his commander. The loyal elf did not agree to betray Iorveth, and then Leto, in order not to leave witnesses, massacred his entire detachment, but by accident did not finish off Kiaran himself. The lieutenant, half-delirious, also claims that for the first time in a long time, Iorveth has real hope.

"Iorveth fights because he knows how to do it best." Ciaran aep Easnillen

Iorveth glade After learning from Loredo that Zoltan actually met the Scoia'tael in the forest, Geralt asks the dwarven to take him to this place. There they actually meet the elves of Iorveth, who tell them the place of meeting with their commander. Going to this clearing, Geralt and Zoltan meet the head eye there, whom the witcher kills. After that, Iorveth and his squad finally appear, surrounding the companions. If Geralt insults Jorveth and his fight for freedom several times, the archers will shoot the witcher and the dwarven, but if the White Wolf tells the commander of the Scoia'tael about Kiaran and Leto, he will want to check the witcher's words. Together they use a deceptive maneuver, and under the cover of elves from the squad, Geralt seems to take Iorveth prisoner and lead him to meet the Kingslayer in the ruins of the elven baths.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of KingsTw2 icon training

Prologue Making his way through the Castle of La Valette, Geralt of Rivia sees a boat with Scoia'tael elves in the breach of the wall, from the description of which Vernon Roche concludes that they are from Iorveth's party. In addition, after killing Foltest, Leto manages to swim away with the elves who were waiting for him.

Next, the events of two months ago are shown: Iorveth uses a naker to distract Headeye from the entrance to the cave in which the secret hideout of the Scoia'tael is located, where he unexpectedly meets Leto. The witcher offers the elf cooperation, showing the head of Demavend, the king of Aedirn, whom he killed, and saying that he could get more crowned heads, but he needs the help of the elves: their hideouts, a network of secret paths, weapons, etc. Iorveth agrees.

Chapter I Iorveth with a dagger Geralt meets Iorveth live as soon as he arrives in the vicinity of Flotsam. The elf plays his flute while sitting on a log, and is surprised that Vernon Roche, his nemesis, has come to him himself. Geralt can then either infuriate Iorveth on the pointlessness of his war, ask Triss to stun the elf with a spell, or ask the Scoia'tael about his squad - regardless of this, a skirmish ensues, during which the sorceress raises a magical dome to protect Roche, her, and the White Wolf from arrows, and under the protection of the witcher's steel, they manage to reach Flotsam. With one last glance in Iorveth's direction, Geralt notices the Assassin of Kings next to him and decides to talk to him later.

"Only one of the Elves, a Scoia'tael of Iorveth's defeated band, who had recently been brutally beaten at the Moika, was calm and serious, busy carving the inscription 'Freedom or Death' on a log on the wall." Baptism of Fire, Chapter 5

After the signing of the Peace of Cintria and the execution of the officers of Vrihedd in the Gulch of the Hydra, Iorveth somehow managed to escape and survive. The commander assembled a new squad of elves who were dissatisfied with the outcome of the war and longed for freedom, and dwarves who were outlawed. Successively, Iorveth destroyed all anti-guerrilla units in the entire North, except for the Blue Stripes, easily escaped any trap and escaped from all roundups, fought with the regular army more than once and attacked large cities, became famous for his intelligence, cunning and determination, and also earned a bad reputation as a murderer and robber. His squad and endless struggle with people have become household names and almost legendary.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings GameTw2 icon training

The elf is also noble and has an idea of honor, and is able to recognize the merits of others, even his opponents. After defeating Vernon Roche in a duel in one of the scenarios of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, Iorveth lets him go, not wanting to kill and content with the moral satisfaction of defeating his sworn enemy. In addition, the commander of the Scoia'tael admires Saskia and has tender feelings for her, although the girl herself does not reciprocate his apparent feelings. Iorveth is not afraid of death, preferring to greet it, and easily ventures on suicide missions. The leader of the Scoia'tael has pronounced leadership qualities, he is an experienced and skilled warrior and officer, skillfully leading his fighters, who are loyal to him and will follow their commander even in the last hell. Iorveth's lieutenant, in a conversation with Geralt, calls his commander one of the last real Aen Seidhe.

"Elves rarely change their minds. We don't know how to rush between decisions, unlike you. Once we made a choice, and now we are reaping its benefits." Iorveth

The Literary Saga and the Events Preceding the Game Toni MunteanThe Witcher. During the Second Nilfgaardian War, Iorveth commanded the Scoia'tael squad that ravaged the lands of the Northern Kingdoms, and was one of the commanders of the Vrihedd Brigade. In the book Baptism of Fire, it is mentioned that one day his company was defeated, and one of its members, an elf named Echel Traigltan, was caught and hanged in Drakenborg.

IorvethGW Iorveth, Gwent: The Witcher. The card game Iorveth's devotion to the bloody goals of the Scoia'tael is replaced by loyalty to Saskia's ideas of equality and freedom for all races and peoples, which the elf supports, despite his burning hatred of humans. Iorveth believes that the Maid of Aedirn has restored hope to Aen Seidhe, and that Vergen may be the last chance for the Squirrels to find a home and stop the senseless bloodshed, so he joins the fight to create a free state in the Pontar Valley with egalitarian laws for all its inhabitants and no discrimination. Iorveth believes that all issues can be resolved by force, but during the uprising in Vergen, he and his detachment use fear to keep the conflicting parties from violence, waiting for the results of the investigation and an objective verdict. Justice and the preservation of order in Vergen are more important to Iorveth than hatred and even comradeship: he is ready to bring one of his best warriors to justice when it turns out that he is killing the inhabitants of the city. Like Saskia, Iorveth believes that the masses are a force to be reckoned with, and he has a negative attitude not only towards human rulers, whose existence seems meaningless to him, but also towards the aristocracy as a whole, considering them cowards, capable only of threatening, but not acting.

"We want a truly free state, where an elf can enter a tavern with humans! A country where people can walk in the forest without fear!" Iorveth

Throughout the North, Iorveth is known as a brigand, murderer, and terrorist. Even the respectful Iorveta Saskia believes that the massacres and atrocities he committed cannot be easily forgotten, and only by doing his deeds for the benefit of the peoples of the Continent can he earn forgiveness and respect. Iorveth is cruel and implacable with his enemies, he does not care whether he is rich or poor, kmet or noble, the Scoia'tael kills everyone indiscriminately, wanting simply to exterminate people and pour out the centuries-old fury of his people. Despite his endless struggles, Iorveth has no illusions and, unlike Yaevinn, does not believe in tales of a new world that only the Scoia'tael guerrillas can build. Having long lost faith in their movement and having lost the meaning of his struggle, Iorveth prefers not to despair and continues a war that he cannot win, simply because he cannot sit idly by and does not know how to surrender.

"I have no illusions about who will stay. You, dh'oine, will conquer this world, continue to expand. We are dying out." Iorveth

Personal data "A king or a tramp - there is no difference. One dh'oine less." Iorveth

IorvethGW Iorveth, Gwent: The Witcher. Card game Iorveth is a single-minded, sarcastic, acrimonious, and extremely proud misanthrope and misanthrope. Triss Merigold mentions that Iorveth has been fighting humans for at least a hundred years, even before the Scoia'tael movement, apparently never reconciled to the conquest of elven lands and the oppression of his people. Iorveth has a complex character, fearlessness, unbending will, high intelligence, cunning and resourcefulness, which for years allow him to hide from the secret services of all the Northern Kingdoms and evade any roundups. The elf is fiercely loyal to his friends and allies, never abandons those who trust him, and hates liars and traitors, even though he has his own idea of betrayal. For example, he despises the traitor Francesca Findabair for refusing to accept squirrel rebels in Dol Blathanne in exchange for Nilfgaard's support, thereby dooming the elves to extinction - only the elders began to live in the Valley of Flowers, all the youth remained in the Scoia'tael troops. Or, for example, he does not consider elves and easily kills those representatives of his people who agree to live in human cities and according to human laws. He also remembers the bitter experience of cooperation with the Empire and can hardly trust anyone.

He is cautious and reserved with strangers. Serious.

Iorveth's weapons consist of two swords, a short knife that he carries strapped vertically to his chest, and a special bow and arrows. A pair of curved, long swords with small guards, traditional elven guards, are worn by the Scoia'tael commander on his belt on either side, while a black quiver of arrows decorated with a red pattern hangs on his left. Iorveth's bow, like all elves of his troop, has two arms at each end (four in total), which serve to increase the strength and power of the arrow throw. The elf wears it on his back in the same black saidak as the quiver, decorated with a red pattern, and on the sling of the cover in front hang four insignia of the special troops of the Northern Kingdoms, which Iorveth defeated. Sometimes the Scoia'tael commander does not take a bow and quiver with him, such as when he and Geralt go to Lok Muinne.

In addition, in one of the renders, the elf wears a dagger on the right side of his belt, and his collection of coats of arms on his chest is replenished with the Blue Stripes sign.

Although Iorveth does not appear in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, his graphical model is contained in the game's materials, and there is a mod that replaces the appearance of Vernon Roche, Bianca, and the Temerian partisans with Iorveth, Saskia, and the Scoia'tael (only the models are replaced: the lines, voices, and story component remain original). This model of Iorveth also has a fifth crest on the chest, but does not have a quiver or saydak, although the bow does not disappear - it remains hanging behind his back without a sheath.

Iorveth's appearance is a tall, thin elf with typical pointed ears, straight teeth, and delicate facial features. He has black hair and green eyes, or rather, only one left eye. Iorveth may have once been handsome, but now the huge, horrible purple-maroon scar on the right side of his face, which runs from his nose, crosses the empty eye socket, and unfolds on his cheekbone to reach his upper lip, has irreparably disfigured his appearance. Iorveth has a large vine tattoo with leaves on the left side of his neck and likely on his chest, which is visible in the deep neckline of his clothes.

"Although Iorveth has one eye, his vision is unparalleled." Description of Iorveth in GwentThe elf hides the right half of his disfigured face with a carmine handkerchief, which is held on his head with a leather belt and has slits for his ears. Behind his left ear, he wears an orange feather. Iorveth's attire consists of a white shirt with the right sleeve rolled up from under his outerwear, a quilted swamp-colored robe below the knees with short sleeves and a standing collar, green underpants under brown culottes, blue stockings just below the knees intercepted by straps criss-cross, and brown low boots with lapels and buckles. As for armor, the elf wears a sleeveless chain mail that reaches his mid-thigh, darned in one place, and a short leather cuirass with metal rivets. In addition, Iorveth wears a burgundy sleeveless jacket underneath his mail, the collar of which is turned over the mail and the hems of which diverge from underneath. Iorveth's right glove up to the elbow leaves a narrow strip of uncovered arm between it and the rolled-up sleeve of his shirt, while his left glove is hidden under his outer garment and is intercepted by straps. The elf's belt is tied with a dark blue sash, over which a belt is fastened. On the right side of the belt hangs a small checkered bag.
