The Witcher 3 is set in the Continent, a fantasy world surrounded by parallel dimensions and extra-dimensional worlds. Humans, elves, dwarves, monsters and other creatures co-exist on the Continent, but non-humans are often persecuted for their differences. The Continent is caught up in a war between the empire of Nilfgaard—led by Emperor Emhyr var Emreis, who invaded the Northern Kingdoms—and Redania, ruled by the bloodthirsty and unstable King Radovid V. Several locations appear, including the free city of Novigrad, the Redanian city of Oxenfurt, the desolation of Velen, the city of Vizima (former capital of the recently-conquered Temeria), the Skellige islands (home to several pseudo-Viking clans) and the witcher stronghold of Kaer Morhen. The game, the concluding chapter of a trilogy, was inspired by Andrzej Sapkowski's series of novels and short stories.
Geralt is on the trail of his former lover, the beautiful and deadly sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg. The Witcher had lost his memory and now, suddenly aware again of his former loves and enemies, he seeks answers. His adoptive daughter Ciri, the offspring of one of the continent's most powerful monarch, is missing and the former Kingdom of Temeria has been engulfed by the flames of war. To make matters worse, it seems that Ciri is being pursued by the Wild Hunt, a band of marauders from another dimension who seek her for a power she was born with.
The main protagonist of all Witcher games, Geralt is a mutated monster-hunter known as being "of Rivia", though that was not his birthplace. Deadly, stoic and not prone to words, he is nevertheless fierce in defending those who he cares for.
A sorceress - a wielder of magic whose powers, while forever preventing her from begetting a child, grant theirs wielder immense prestige and inspire fear in the hearts of many. Always elegant and always calculating, she is known for her cunning and her willingness to resort to less than traditional methods to get the job done.
Another sorceress and a close friend of Yennefer, Triss always carried a torch for Geralt. She became his on-and-off lover for a time while he pieced his memory together. Together with Geralt, she was an advisor to the murdered King of Temeria. Now the kingdom they served is in shambles, she is trying to make her way out of the Continent.
An (extremely) old Witcher, friend and mentor to Geralt. Always wintering at Kaer Morhen, the Witcher stronghold, he set out with Geralt in search of Yennefer and Ciri.
Ciri, also known as Cirilla Fiona Elen Riannon, is the adoptive daughter of Geralt and Yennefer. Born to the man who later became the Emperor of Nilfgaard, her happiest memories belong to the time she spent with the Witcher and Yennefer. Due to her bloodline, she has an incredible and mysterious power that is coveted by many.
An omen of death, destruction, tragedy and war, the Wild Hunt is a spectral army led by a King from another world. They seek to capture Ciri and use her power for their own nefarious ends.
