History: [The Continent's history is marked by the arrival of elves from another dimension, who established kingdoms and engaged in wars with indigenous dwarves. Humans appeared approximately five centuries before the main events of the series, leading to conflicts that resulted in human dominance. ​]

Current Era: [The Continent is embroiled in political intrigue and warfare, primarily between the Nilfgaardian Empire and the Northern Kingdoms. The world is also plagued by monsters, many of which are the result of a cataclysmic event known as the Conjunction of the Spheres.]

Witchers: ​[​Witchers are superhuman mutants created through alchemical processes. Originating in the 10th century, monarchs and mages established the Order of Witchers to protect humanity from monstrous threats. This led to the development of the Trials of the Grasses, a series of alchemical experiments that transformed young trainees, granting them enhanced strength, speed, and senses, including night vision. Over time, the Order fragmented into various Witcher schools, each with unique traditions and philosophies, such as the School of the Wolf, the Cat, and the Bear. These schools trained Witchers in swordsmanship, basic magic known as Signs, and monster lore, preparing them for their role as monster hunters. Witchers often face prejudice and are viewed with suspicion by the societies they protect.​]
