Story

The player is Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster slayer, a sorcerer. He got involved in the political turmoil in Temeria and helped put down the rebellion of the Order of the Flaming Rose. Soon after, he saved King Foltest's life when the monarch was attacked by a witch-like assassin. He continues to protect the king, serving as his bodyguard as Foltest strives to bring peace to his kingdom. The last bastions of the Order have bowed to the royal army, but one task remains: the Baroness La Valette has announced her secession from the realm, and her fortress must be taken. A month after the assassination, Flettest's armies are at the gates of La Valette Castle, preparing for a final assault. Geralt, still at Flettest's side, is among them and cannot begin his personal quest to discover the origin and identity of the mysterious assassin.
