Geralt rejoins his long-lost lover, Yennefer, in the town of White Orchard. Yennefer tells him that Emperor Emhyr has summoned him to the city of Vizima. Emhyr tasks Geralt with finding Ciri, who has recently been seen in several places. Ciri is the daughter of the emperor and the last heir to an ancient elvish bloodline with the power to manipulate space and time. Geralt first hears that Ciri was in Velen at Crow's Perch, the Bloody Baron's fort.[37] The baron refuses to help, but Geralt's acquaintance, the sorceress Keira Metz, tells him that an elvish mage was looking for Ciri.
