Notes[]

  • While it's mentioned in the short story "The Last Wish" that Yennefer once was a hunchback, it's never fleshed out, when and how she became a sorceress. In "The Tower of the Swallow" she remembered in a trance how her father maltreated and finally, even her mother disdained her for her physical disabilities. That she has ¼ elvish blood from her mother's side, is also mentioned in the novels. Her father believes, the deformities stem from the tainted blood of her mother.
  • Before the end in "The Lady of the Lake", she has another memory about almost taking her own life, and when Tissaia de Vries helped her become a powerful sorceress. This was adapted into the series.

Differences[]

  • "The Edge of the World": - while the essential characters like Torque, Filavandrel aén Fidháil and Toruviel still appear - character Lille, who is later revealed as the goddess Dana Méadbh, isn't in the show. Most of the introduction and actions of the short story were changed for the show.
  • Yennefer's story: In the novels, it was never mentioned that Fringilla even attended Aretuza. In the novel Baptism of Fire, Yennefer only recognises Fringilla during a meeting of the Lodge of Sorceresses because Fringilla was the one who blinded her during the Battle of Sodden Hill.
