Tread lightly, Geralt of Rivia. These lands are not as you remember them - evil looms in the air, it nips at your heels... It may even gnaw on your skull. Your knowledge is vast, your blade is deadly - but it is not enough. Your knowledge must grow, your blade cannot dull! Human or Beast, a difference it makes not - for if those vile men do not get you, maybe the Nekkers will?

Good luck, White Wolf.
