How Part 1 Dropped The Ball On Hiding Its True Villain

Credit where credit is due, “The Witcher” permits two important, intertwined clues to leak prior to the episode in which Vilgefortz’s true intentions are made clear. There are a few mentions of Lydia van Bredevoort (Aisha Fabienne Ross), the silent mage who uses telepathy to impart her master’s instructions. And Season 3 Volume 1 also focuses on the necklace which Vilgefortz gives to Tissaia as a token of his affection. The two seemingly disparate dots are connected by scarlet ammonite, a material only found in West Redania. Both Tissaia’s necklace and a set of earrings that Lydia wore in Season 2 are made of it.

But there’s more to this line of thinking than matching jewelry. West Redania is also where Geralt finds and rescues Teryn (Frances Pooley), the only survivor from a string of heinous experiments that attempted to transform innocent women into Princess Cirilla of Cintra (Freya Allan). And Teryn recalls hearing a “funny” voiced woman during her time imprisoned — the same description others have used to explain the quality of Lydia’s telepathic speech. See? It all ties together… in a roundabout sort of way.
