1160: 103 Years Before Cintra Falls: Geralt Born As seen in episode 8's flashback scenes, Geralt's mother, Visenna, gives Geralt to the witchers for agonizing indoctrination when he's a young boy. These aren't scientific numbers, but around when the timeline seems to be falling into place.

We pulled these rough estimates of years based on dates loosely established in the Andrzej Sapkowski Witcher novels and how they play out in the show. Here's a quick rundown of how Season 1's timeline plays out in chronological order (with a couple of guesses here and there) as to how this all takes place around the fall of Cintra. Geralt, at the start of the show, in the pilot, is 'almost 100.' And Yennefer is, well, also pretty old - probably older than Geralt, even. Ciri's was playing out more closely confined, in the 'present,' while Geralt and Yennefer's arcs were happening decades in the past.īasically, Ciri is 12 years old. It wasn't until Episode 4, 'Of Banquets, Bastards and Burials,' however, that we came to realize these stories were not happening at the same time.

For the majority of Season 1, we watched three separate stories unfold - those of witcher Geralt (Henry Cavill), sorceress Yennefer (Anya Chalotra), and princess Ciri (Freya Allan).
