There's a murkiness running through this chapter's adventure; a nervous, questioning fear that digs at the very heart of Geralt's character. Cam argues that our beloved witcher is reaching the end of his long decline, and tries to chart the devolution of Geralt's core ideals and abilities. We also dive into our new friend Avallac'h, who teases and torments Geralt with a discussion of prophecy that permanently alters this series' engagement with that subject. Finally, we stitch together a tapestry of Tolkien echoes and apparent references, before analyzing the purpose of these evocations - and building a theory about Sapkowski's central diversion from the world of LOTR and the primacy of self-interest in our governing philosophies. But hey, if you're worried things get too heavy, don't be. The episode starts with a review of our wonderful, silly visit to a renaissance faire!
