Transcript:
More than a thousand years ago, a major cataclysmic event known as the Conjunction of the Spheres trapped unnatural creatures in this dimension. According to elven lore, it is during this time Humans first appeared, their own world having been destroyed. Humans settled on the continent hundreds of years later in what is known as the First Landing. However, monsters still roamed the lands and the humans were ill-equipped to deal with these creatures.

The humans employed Witchers, an elite caste of warrior-monks, who defended human settlements in present-day Temeria. These Witchers possessed superhuman speed and strength thanks to the Trail of Grasses, a series of mutagenic mushrooms, herbs, and plants that were introduced into the bodies of would-be Witchers. Witchers became master swordsmen and with the help of sorcerers, they utilized spells called Signs, as well as combat-augmenting potions.

But soon, human villages became kingdoms with armies, weapons, and magic. The Witchers were no longer needed and became outcasts due to their mutant abilities and albino appearance. Disgust grew into hatred, and the humans assaulted the Witcher fortress of Kaer Mohan, leaving no survivors to train their successors. Surviving Witchers eventually faded into the shadows, roaming the land as monster hunters for hire.

Now, a new, nefarious society lurks, seeking to obtain the secrets of the Trial of Grasses for their own heinous purposes. It's up to Geralt of Rivia and the remaining Witchers to put a stop to this evil plot and survive in a world that seeks to destroy them.

Have fun!
