Toussaint

[mecha_fish]

I always imagined it was like Italy or Southern France, since we met a lady and her relatives from Toussaint in the fifth chapter of the first game and they had French accents. Plus, y'know, wine. In fact, I imagined the further south of the Jaruga the more Mediterranean it got -- I thought Cahir was an Italian looking fellow.

This will be a huge change from the Slavic, war-torn marshes and icy cold islands and overpopulated cities of the main game. I imagine we'll see some very beautiful places of a different kind in Toussaint. I bet their sewers are ornate and scream art history. I can smell it.

I hope there is a HUGE drinking game quest in Toussaint. It wouldn't be right without one.

Tradition is a holy thing in Toussaint, so all holidays are keenly observed.

Just to add to the speculation:

• Toussaint... is the French for November 1, All Saints' Day (pagan Samhain).
• That's the equivalent of Saovine ingame. It's the end of the year, the end of a cycle begun at Beltaine, one of the main days the veil is thin - the outdoor to Geralts indoor - and traditionally a big time for horror & bloody sacrifice.
• It can be symbolised by a snake eating its tail.
• Apparently the Saovine tradition includes burning the effigy of a dissident - Falka - who may also be connected to the holy blood.
• Knights-Errant have a passion for Fairytales.
• In the old days Viniculture was often the purview of the religious classes.
• Religious classes have a tendency to construct Fairytales.
• Blood Red Wine has been especially significant throughout the ages to the various Mystery Cults.

Soooooo Toussaints in the south of Witcherworld, and its full of kinigits knights... coincidence ?

It's a fairytale land. It'll be fun to see what CDPR's artists do with the area. By the heron I swear, it will look like a god damn painting. I mean, more than what TW3 already looks like.

It's like a fucking fairytale or something.

I'm very, VERY excited for this expansion! Fookin' Toussaint!

Also, visiting druids in Caed Myrkvid would be fantastic...It's like smaller version of Brokilon

And I remember that Anna Henrietta's palace is described as magnificent...
So yeah, can't wait..

 

[Aes Sídhe]

...Myrkvid...

Mirkwood ? Expect some necromancy then

Probably people reading this thread wish they had a map...

Mirkwood ? Expect some necromancy then

Hopefully

But yes, Toussaint is fantastic location for expansion. We have everything : famous wines, decadent aristocracy, abandoned wine cellars filled with monsters, ancient castles...

No brothels, though

 

[Riven-Twain]

Well, you can't have everything. . . .

I agree, I've been familiarising myself with the local geography, and its a fine looking secluded valley, surrounded by intriguing placenames such as Montblanc, Cervantes Pass, and Mount Gorgon, along with Mirkwood and the Black Forest... and Rivia is like, but a pitchfork away

 

[ONLY_ONCE]

You know what they say about those Dutch women
Lots of Sucky, Sucky to be had in this Paid DLC I bet lol...

 

[EliHarel]

No brothels, though

They have everything. Nine barbers alone, eight pharmacies. But only one whorehouse, and it's so small and shitty that I wouldn't even call it a whorehouse.

There could have been a Hosue of Pleasure. Could...

and Rivia is like, but a pitchfork away

Good you mentioned Rivia, another idea for expansion...Geralt should finally visit his "homeland" and queen who knighted him
And what is going on with Meve anyway?

 

[ONLY_ONCE]

Nooooooooooooooo! Okay, I vote for a House of Pleasure

Angouleme proposed opening a brothel, that girl had some business sense...
Geralt&Co should've listened to her...Bloody idiots.

Too much thinking of brothels takes its toll, I guess...:baby:

You say Toussaint has libraries, succubus, and Fringilla.

Well then. We know what Geralt is going to be doing in those libraries

Just what I thought... how could they dare take us so close to Rivia, so close you can smell the Yaruga... and yet, no celebratory pitchfork cigar ?

Meve... lovely name with a heavy history "she who intoxicates".
