The Witcher Season 2: 10 Things We'd Love To See
1. Other Witcher Schools
Though the games give us a range of others, the only Witcher schools present in the book are that of the Wolf, the Cat and the Griffin. Still they serve an important role; they remind us of the true scale and complexity of the Witcher trade.
Having multiple Schools provides an extra element that makes the world larger, a touch of depth that makes us believe that Witchers have been operating (and diverting from each other) for centuries.
It makes the Witchers themselves seem more human, these are professionals who have different philosophies and drives regarding the nature of their work.
The Wolf School embodies the quintessential Witcher’s trade, with a focus on understanding the foe in question and carefully selecting the right tool for the job, balanced between all possibilities. The Cat School on the other hand is overwhelmingly focused on stealth and concealment, with an expertise in remaining mobile and striking when the time is most opportune. Meanwhile the Griffin closely resembles the classic understanding of a knightly order and is generally more accepted in society.
Containing Witchers from other schools gives us the potential to reflect the nature of Geralt, and the other Wolven Witchers we will hopefully get to know in the next season.
