[[File:Tw2 Lodge sorceress.jpg|thumb|350px|Some of the sorceresses of the Lodge in ''The Witcher 2'']]
'''Lodge of Sorceresses''' arose from the ruins of the [[Brotherhood of Sorcerers|Council of Sorcerers]] after the [[Thanedd coup|incident]] on [[Thanedd Isle|Thanedd Island]] essentially killed the older order. It was a secret organization comprised entirely of female [[mage]]s and even referred to as a ''sisterhood''. Started by [[Philippa Eilhart]] about six weeks after the coup, the first meeting was attended by Philippa, Triss Merigold, Keira Metz, Margarita Laux-Antille, Sabrina Glevissig, Sheala de Tancarville, Francesca Findabair and Assire var Anahid, though only some of the sorceresses where physically able to join the proceedings. For the second meeting, all the members did attend physically.

The Lodge's meetings took place in the castle of [[Montecalvo]], Philippa's home base.

| '''''The Lodge of Sorceresses'''''

''The Lodge of Sorceresses was founded after the mutiny on Thanedd Island as a substitute for the Council of Sorcerers. The founders' aim was to bring the war between [[Nilfgaardian Empire|Nilfgaard]] and the [[Northern Kingdoms]] to a close while maintaining the mages' influence on the fate of the world. It is effectively an association of the most powerful female mages from both the northern and the southern realms. The Lodge has significant political influence, although its activities are not entirely understood by the public.''

=={{tw2}}==
In ''[[The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings]]'', the Lodge of Sorceresses has an important influence on the narrative. 

{{spoiler}}As in the [[#Novels|novels]] they seek to create a country ruled by magic. So some members of the Lodge hire [[Letho]] to murder King [[Demavend]] and support a peasant revolt lead by [[Saskia]] in order to turn the [[Pontar Valley]] into a separate country under their control.

Depending on the player's choices, some of the sorceresses may find their deaths. Among these are [[Assire var Anahid]] killed by [[Shilard]], and [[Síle de Tansarville]] by Letho if you have no intention to save her. Furthermore, [[Sabrina Glevissig]] had previously been executed by King [[Henselt]] three years earlier. [[Philippa Eilhart]] is imprisoned and blinded by King [[Radovid V|Radovid]], who charges her with treason. [[Yennefer|Yennefer of Vengerberg]] has lost her memory and is in Nilfgaard. The entire lodge is thus dismantled, but it is not know yet what will be the fate of sorceresses still alive, such as [[Triss Merigold]], [[Fringilla Vigo]] and [[Francesca Findabair]].
