First by the gnomes, then came dwarves and finally elves. The world of The Witcher was originally populated in waves. That being said, there is a foundation of early history that the show could lean on. While Sapkowski sometimes touches on events like the Conjunction of the Spheres, it is clear that Blood Origin‘s story will be much more reliant on the imagination of the writers because very little is known about this period in the Continent’s history.
NETFLIX THE WITCHER SERIES
Most of you will know that Netflix’s The Witcher is based on a beloved series of books written by Andrzej Sapkowski, that also inspired CD Projekt Red’s popular Witcher video games. The Witcher: Blood Origin story explained If that is the case, the most likely candidate for the “proto-witcher” is Laurence O’Fuarain Fjall. Another possibility is that the “first Witcher” mentioned in the synopsis is an earlier variant than the one mentioned in Netflix’s official timeline, a proto-witcher. Maybe we’ll get an even split between the events with the first episodes focusing on the Conjunction and the last ones telling the story of the first witcher. Maybe we’ll get several stories bridging the centuries. However, if the show will cover almost a thousand years of witcher history, it’s possible that there will be some big time-skips between the episodes. Presumably, this means we’ll have six episodes, each telling another story, perhaps comparable to Disney’s The Mandalorian. From one casting call (which we discuss in the characters section below) we know that Blood Origin will be an episodic series. It’s possible that the answer could be in the format. Indeed, Netflix’s official accompanying map specifies that the first witcher was created by mages 967 years after the Conjunction.īlood Origin may reveal the truth behind some of the Continent’s myths, such as the secret of the monoliths It also tells us, that the six episodes will explore the story behind two of the most important events in Witcher lore: The Conjunction of the Spheres, which merged the worlds of monsters, elves and humans into one, and of course the creation of the first witcher.Īt the same time, this raises an important question: How can the show cover both events considering that they are several centuries apart? While the Conjunction of the Spheres happened around 1200 years before the start of The Witcher saga, the first witchers did not start to roam the land until much later. This tells us that the show is set on the Continent but 1200 years before the events of the main series. “1200 years before Geralt of Rivia, the worlds of monsters, men and elves merged into one, and the first Witcher came to be.”
With the announcement of The Witcher: Blood Origin, Netflix also released a short synopsis: When is The Witcher: Blood Origin set in The Witcher timeline?
