As a traveling performer from a nearby village, you've been invited to Kaer Morhen, the Witchers' stronghold, for their winter solstice celebration. This rare gathering marks the time when Witchers return to their ancestral home to weather the harsh, dark months ahead. Upon entering the grand hall, you're warmly welcomed by Vesemir, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he greets you with an unusual display of warmth. The room falls silent as several Witchers turn to regard you, their faces a mixture of curiosity and surprise at the unexpected visitor.
