I'm curious about what people have come up for the Haak Invasion, which takes place in 1350. It is known to happen in the canon timeline, but all that is known is that "large-scale Haak Invasion occurred when they raided the North again. Coming through like a storm, they burned, slaughtered, and feasted on the ruins, drinking from the skulls of their fallen enemies for an entire year."

In some of my articles I have the Haaks invade and do pretty well, but not reaching too far north or south, and eventually the Northern Realms rally, with a final and massive battle in the Mahakam mountains. This ends with the Battle of Gallendren in 1353 which sees a large Haak army defeated and the invasion stopped and pushed back.

I'm curious if there has been any other ideas for the Haak invasion, or what other people have come up with. It's a very open canon event so I'm curious what other people think about it.

Be Advised;

All articles regarding dragons and dragon lore are going to be revised in the coming months. As such, any article containing lore that is clearly referencing concepts from Dungeons and Dragons will be deleted.

Users have until 6/22/24 4:30 EST to remove these articles themselves before they are done so by administration.

Moving forward, any and all reference to D&D concepts must be reviewed and approved by administration before being published. Admin can be reached via discord through the Fanon Wiki Server.

Greetings! It has been a while.

In an effort to mitigate the ever-increasing volume of articles, I wanted to remind all of our current users of the purpose of the fanon wiki as a whole.

As per our About page, the Fanon Wiki is a place for fan-made content which "can take the form of fanfiction stories and collaborative roleplays to articles about characters, monsters, locations, and more set in the world of The Witcher".

Furthermore, according to our manual of style and content guidelines, users are encouraged to;

"Try to build your own character or lore, building on that of others. On this Wikia, unlike others, we try to expand The Witcher universe in a coherent and cohesive way. Not everyone creating parallel universes, each one crazier than the last. In that sense, we try to imitate other examples of collaborative writing done well, such as the SCP Foundation."

We have made exceptions with the EU system, but there is still a primary EU that is the focus of our cultivation. While doing so please keep in mind that this fanon is a collaboration, and so what is written in the main Tales of the Witcher EU will have an effect on any other articles written in that EU. To better collaborate and make cohesive the fanon articles that exist in the primary fanon, please join us on our official discord!

Furthermore, I encourage users to steer away from the impulse to 'fill in the blanks', when it comes to content for the fanon.

What does that mean?

Chiefly, this means that if something does not have an article written about it try and refrain from writing something simply because there is the space for it. This site is primarily intended as a hub of fanon narratives, as in, stories. Before writing about an entire region, magic system, weapon category or creating a new monster for the fanon, ask yourself these questions;

1. Does this article reasonably differ from a similar and already existing canon article?

2. Does writing this article serve to highlight an aspect of a narrative or tell a story on its own?

3. Does this concept actually fit into the world, themes, and motifs of The Witcher without heavily borrowing from another fandom's lore?

If the answers to any of the above questions are 'no', or 'maybe', or you find that many of your articles are simply born from a compulsion to create purely for the sake of it, then perhaps it is time to reevaluate the others you've written and see what narratives they can explore. World-building can be, and very often is, very exciting but understand this will help us avoid unnecessary clutter with articles.

Please also be wary of articles that may be redundant, especially if they already have canon article counterparts, or whose contents are not necessarily expansive in nature. Remember that not everything that can be written about, should be written about. The purpose of this wiki is not to catalogue every and any aspect of witcher lore that may or may not be canon, but instead to foster collaborative storytelling amid fans of the series.

Additionally, please be wary of including elements from non-witcher sources into your work. Recently, many articles have been evaluated and deemed borderline (with some actually being) plagiarism, while others have borrowed from the folklore of cultures without the appropriate care. These articles are currently being revised and re-written, but so as to ensure that no more are written in this manner, please steer clear of including elements from sources such as;

1. other TRPGs (D&D primarily)

2. native/indigenous folklore

3. closed religions

4. non-witcher video games (Phasmophobia, Baldur's Gate, Monster Hunter, etc,.)

5. Including the exploration of sensitive elements without proper research.

LASTLY, I would also like to take this time to reintroduce our sister site, The Witcher RPG Wiki. If there are elements in your articles that could be classified as 'game stats', or describe mechanics rather than biographical or narrative information, please move such information to the appropriate TRPG Wiki Article, and if one is not yet made, you are more than encouraged to make one. Example articles are available on the RPG Wiki's main page.

With that said, the discord server is full of admins ready to review your work to ensure it fits in with the guidelines, as well as other users ready to collaborate.

After talking with SchooloftheLycan, I've promised to stop posting new articles for a while and work on articles I already have for the sake of the Fanon clean-up efforts and to encourage new writers to join our community. I hope this helps.

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone!

First of all. I apologize, mainly for the protected articles and for not being so pending of administrative stuff. With the change that fandom made, I didn't get the notifications until recently, I don't know why, so I left the articles protected to avoid vandalizations, like the case that I already mentioned to SMiki in private, where the word witcher was replaced by penis in the article of the School of the Rat, it happened back in 2020. Yep, it was weird XD.

I have also been working on improving the quality of my articles. Now that I have finally made more progress, I have started to clean up / deleting articles I had, which did not convince me to improve the quality of the site ( anyway they are preserved and accessible in case I want or someone wants to take up the concept again )

In these days, I finally should be able to remove the protection, now that I can finally be more pendant and I can receive notifications.

On the other hand, due to the evolution of the main project of the site, I have improved a bit the Tales of The World of The Witcher Timeline. It still needs a generalized rework, but more or less it is almost ready. Once I finish the rework of some of my articles, it will be done. But if anyone wants to lend a hand with it, they are welcome.

And nothing more, that's all, and sincere apologies for any inconvenience I may have caused, again.

Hello! First of all, I would like to formally introduce myself. I am Ruvian (he/they) and I am a long time witcher fan and have been using the Fanon Wiki for about 4 years now. My pages primarily concern world building for my own original characters, and I am currently (slowly) working on a Zerrikanian Expansion as part of a personal art and writing project. I was recently promoted to an Administrative role and am looking forward to serving the community!

On to the subject at hand!

I am announcing the opening of two articles;

• Female Witchers | The Witcher Fanon Wikia | Fandom

• School of the Manticore | The Witcher Fanon Wikia | Fandom

What I mean by 'opening' is that I am allowing those who have articles (characters, specifically) who would fit into these articles as representatives of the respective groups to add links to their character articles. If you have a Manticore Witcher, a female witcher, or both, that you would like to be included in the 'Notable Memebers' section of each, you are free to add the names and links to your character articles at your leisure.

I attempted to do this earlier, but with the Female Witcher article specifically (the members are split between First Conjunction and Second Conjunction), I was met with several characters whose timelines were undefined and uncertain, and so I will leave the proper identification to the individual authors.

For the time being, please do not edit anything outside of adding your characters. If you would like to collaborate on either of these article with me, please leave a comment below with your ideas.

My apologies for not having correctly reviewed the article for the Witcheress, I took as a basis the concept presented for the School of the Siren and then what I saw in forums around the 2000s doing researching. I have deleted the article, and next time I will ask for help.

I would also like to take the opportunity, and if there is anyone interested in the subject I would appreciate a hand, to further develop Kemro and how the mutations would affect someone who is intersex.

I haven't gotten around to reworking the article because I'm finishing others, and looking for information, so I appreciate the help. In fact, I had in mind, that Kemro rather than identifying as a boy, should identify as non-binary. I've only put in that suffered some bullying, because well, how is the setting.

Let me put it into game perspective for the Witcher TTRPG each race has a different set of perks with elves being at least in the case of the Aen Seidhe:

Artistic

Marksman

Natural Attunement

Am I to assume that all elves no matter the subtype have these 'perks' or are their some fundamental differences in the elves besides them being a slightly different skin shade and living in a different environment?

To all of you who have articles I have corrected without your permission, I apologize. I reread the site rules and found that I made a fault in understanding. I will no longer go around correcting grammar or connecting lore on other content contributor's articles unless given permission to. Should you want me to help or connect lore for your articles, I will take my name in the Writer tag as permission otherwise it is up to you to do the proper link work for your article's connectivity.

Best regards, Adalwulf of Aedirn

I have removed the Artur I of Cintra article, because the character broke the canon, the common fanon, and was too OP. What violates the rules of the site.

For example, being trained by all witcher schools, etc....Please, to the newcomers, you can make interesting characters, with importance and that fill the gaps in the lore. But don't do this.

You have many examples, such as Jordstat ( I'm sorry if I misspelled it ) or Adalwulf and Putnam. One having a very interesting story, and the other two, serving as a bridge to the 14th century witchers and Putnam serving as a complement to Fabio Sachs' story, but not taking away his importance.

By the way, I may soon begin an archiving project of some completed articles from the site. So that in case something happens, they will be preserved.

The YouTube channel Wizards & Warriors recently put out a pretty comprehensive and lengthy video about the Niflgaardian Wars. Its a bit lengthy but goes through both the books and games, and provides a very good resource for worldbuilding and story ideas. I'd figured I'd post it here so that others could be inspired or use it as a resource.

It should be noted, though, that the video does follow a specific canon, trying to blend the books and games together, and in the end has Niflgaard take over the north with Ciri as the future empress.

Nilfgaardian Wars - Witcher Battle Lore DOCUMENTARY

I have had to protect and repair some articles, due to vandalism. Please take care.

If you need your articles to be protected, let me know. On the other hand, if you have ideas for the School of the Rat, Corvo and Rye Barknor Circus articles, please let me know. Post it in the comments of the articles and I will give you credit for it.

I've noticed that for a lot of the articles on this wiki there exists a sort of shared universe between the different characters by different users. A sort of "Witcher Fanon Universe" if you will.

Anyways, I've done a little bit of looking around, and I'm posting this timeline as a sort of rough draft for those who want to make their own characters. In particular, this timeline will focus a lot on the future of the Witcher world, after the events of the Witcher books and games, based upon what other creators have imagined.

Timeline

• 230s BR: First Conjunction of the Spheres, which sees lots of monsters and magic appear on the Continent

• 1 R: The Resurrection [1]

• 760s AR: First Landing, with the Nordlings arriving on the Continent

• 950s AR: Creation of the first witchers

• 1181 AR: Destruction of Kaer Seren [2]

• 1249: Destruction of Kaer Seren [2]

• 1262-1263 AR: The First Northern/Nilfgaardian War

• 1267-1268 AR: The Second Northern/Nilfgaardian War

• 1271-1272 AR: The Third Northern/Nilfgaardian War [3]

• 1309-1318 AR: The War of the Two Unicorns in Kaedwen, possibly between rival houses fighting for the throne

• 1350 AR: The Haak Invasion, but eventually defeated

• 1358 AR: Second Conjunction of the Spheres, seeing lots of new monsters and threats, and the revival of witchers [4]

• 1530-1540 AR: The Colonial Wars in the colonies, only mentioned in Stefan's article

• 1730 - Stefan "the Crane" dies

Notes

[1] - For the starting point of the human calendar, there is literally nothing known about "the Resurrection" in the official canon. It's clearly inspired by the Christian death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, but otherwise there is annoyingly nothing else I know about it.

[2] - There is no known official date for the destruction of Kaer Seren. I read on this wiki that it was in 1249 (and there are other examples), and so that's what I used for my character. In Jorstadt's article it is much earlier, but that is the only example I can find of that has it differently.

[3] - This gets into some difficulty, because the games offer multiple endings, where either Radovid rules the north, Dijkstra rules, or Nilfgaard conquers everyone. I get the feeling that the general consensus is that Radovid one but his "empire" fell apart and things returned to a new status quo, but I'm sure different authors have different ideas about the future of it.

[4] - Putnam Pitch's article places this at 1380, but otherwise every other example of this places it occurring in 1358.

This is just a putting a bunch of author's own personal headcanon's and fanon's together, but hopefully this can serve as the basis for a generally accepted timeline of the future for anyone who needs it.

Anyone else have any information or ideas about the future of the Witcher Universe?

Greet'ns. I'm thinking about possibly reorganizing the page for my witcher character Jorstadt, and wondering what might make for the more consistent and interesting character. So I'm seeking a bit of feedback from anyone who happens to see this and reads a bit. The reorganization mostly revolves around two events I want to include in Jorstadt's history: the destruction of Kaer Seren, and his attending Oxenfurt Academy.

My first option is to keep Jorstadt's page mostly as it is now. In brief, Jorstadt stays away from Kaer Seren for a time after his graduation as a witcher, and finds himself dissatisfied with the results of handling contracts the way the Griffins taught him. Kaer Seren's destruction occurs, and Jorstadt comes to believe their methods and inflexibility are what led to conflict. Thus, the end of the School prompts him to try a new method and he begins attending Oxenfurt University to learn more about social customs.

The alternate thought I have, which I can't shake, is to have Jorstadt attend Oxenfurt before Kaer Seren's destruction. He starts out on the Path, finds the knightly approach the Griffins teach doesn't always make for the best result, and attends Oxenfurt to get a better understanding of humans and society. After, he returns to Kaer Seren and tries to pass on these lessons, but it clashes with the traditionalist Griffin master witchers. It's possible in this time he also mentors some younger Griffin characters, if anyone's interested in that sort of thing for their Griffin witchers. Soon, however, he's banished from the keep because of his refusal to abide the School's teachings, and is thus not present when Kaer Seren is destroyed.

Either of these sound more interesting than the other? Might also be worth bearing in mind I intend Jorstadt to later go back the other way later in life: he starts to see resentment take over the last witchers as they die off, and the consequences of their absence with monsters resurging and butting up against human civilization. This makes him start to see a value in the old knightly codes; evil lurks in the darkness, and someone must confront it. This leads him to found a new School of the Owl early in the 1300s, maybe late 1290s.

Let me know any preferences one way or another; I might just start up yet another Witcher 3 run-through sometime, and that'll doubtlessly pull me back here once again.

Hello guys Me and my friends are playing a game called Recroom basically a vr pc console cross play building gaming we really like the Witcher and basically are making own school bc we’re remaking the Witcher order but with like schools in it I love ravens so started searching and found this whole fandom so I decided to share my story with you (ps I’m not the best story writer)

The Witcher Slaughter

After the Witcher Slaughter, only a few of us remained.

The Continent decided that they don’t need Witcher they don't need us.

They organized a hunt, anyone who had seen found or killed a witcher got a handsome reward many of us died the few that remained went into hiding. One of us sent a letter: “for those of us who remain, we have to stay together, we have to survive we have to rebuild.” I think most of us were skeptical about it but I showed up at the meeting place were now our main fortress stands. From what I know not all made it but at least 4 of us did

Eclipy, Jiro of Rivia, Oracle, and Simple of Toussaint

Because all of the old schools were destroyed and long forgotten we had to build our own

This is how our story begins.

Basically after this I could say another conjunction happens and the continent couldn’t help itself

Like I said I’m not the best also this is for a role play game and I didn’t want to include any canonical characters

Hey I was reading quite a bit on the far east and it sounds like an amazing campaign I wanna run for a solo for my friend who loves the witcher as much as I do. However, with all the added places, cities, schools and new regions its hard to piece together what it all looks like. Does the person who originally created the post on the far east have the sketch map he talked about or would someone else have a map depicting the far east please?

Hello, any and all around this little corner of the internet. Just wanted to give fair warning (like what I ought to be doing as an admin) that Fandom, the company which provides this platform, is going to roll out (another) needless rearrangement of the site layout. Having a look at the preview, it'll probably break a few things which need fixing, and create bugs we'll just have to wait on them to fix. Not an awful fate, but it's certainly a needless irritation for a group who just want to post fan characters.

At worst, it'll mean a few days where the site has a different color scheme while I work out kinks and maybe re-select/reupload backgrounds. My goal is to keep the site's aesthetic mostly as it is, with a color scheme reminiscent of Witcher 3's inventory screens. If there's something you'd like me to try and include in that look, like a particular infobox setup or convenient table of some kind, let me know with a comment here and I can investigate if it's possible.

All for now.
