Προέλευση	written with the assistance of Νταντέλιον

Depending on Γκέραλτ's choice of guardian for Alvin in Κεφάλαιο III, he either receives a letter from Shani or from Triss. He must then reply, but as with many instances in the plot of the game, Γκέραλτ has choices in the reply he dictates to Νταντέλιον, and of course, the bard is as faithful as ever to the original text.

Later, there is the matter of getting the missive to its intended recipient. As it happens, the Fisher King also seems to be the local postmaster.

Note

This letter, and in particular the "cool" versions, is a reference to a letter sent by Γκέραλτ to Γιενέφερ asking her for help in teaching Ciri in Blood of Elves. Needless to say, Γιενέφερ is less than impressed with his choice of words and her reply while being painfully polite on the surface, is very cutting in its sarcasm.

Letter to Shani

warm versions

Beloved Shani! I am happy to say that I found Alvin in a village nearby. The boy is all right, you do not have to worry — I will keep an eye on him. [Note: This part of the text depends on Γκέραλτ's choice of content.] The village I have come to is nestled by a beautiful lake. The peple have welcomed me warmly, though there is a lot of work for a witcher here. Regardless, I have found a kind of inner peace here which I have not felt for a long time. [or] I know you care little for politics, but I would like you to do something. I want you to warn King Foltest about Adda. The princess is plotting with Salamandra — the king's enemy — which is why I cannot return to Vizima. [either way] I miss you dearly, my read-haired sweetheart. I miss your smile, I miss you being close to me. I hope that we well be together again soon and that all will be well. Γκέραλτ

Letter to Triss

warm versions

Beloved Triss! Your insight made finding Alvin possible. Also, I received the amulet from Νταντέλιον. Don't worry, the boy will be alright, I will take care of him. [Note: This part of the text depends on Γκέραλτ's choice of content.] I understand that I have to spend some time away from Vizima. Here in Murky Waters the time seems to pass according to its own rhythm. It is a very beautiful place — with grain fields swaying in the wind and a crystal clear lake. The people here are also very pleasant. [or] I hope you were able to somehow overcome the difficult situation that I put you in — I am very sorry. I think you should talk to Foltest and tell him of his sweet daughter's deeds. [either way] I think about you as well, Triss, and I keep thinking about the moments when we were together. I don't know if our relationship will overcome all obstacles but I don't think we should worry about that just now. What is important is that we have each other. I hope that I will see you soon. Γκέραλτ
