And you still need to ask if Yen is dead or alive?RSIK4 said:hello i have completed games 12 times
It was never explained properly, and at the time we were more concerned how come the Emperor of Nilfgaard knows Geralt. But since Yennefer is now in the hands of Emhyr, maybe CD Projekt will shed some light on it?EmhyrvarEmreisDeithwenAddanynCarnaepMorvuddtheWhiteFlameDancingontheGravesofEnemies said:'I am not going to wait for Rience's report. Set the magicians to work and have them prepare a telecommunication link with their point of contact in Redania. Let them pass on my verbal orders, which must immediately be sent to Rience. The order is to run as follows: Rience is to stop pussyfooting around, and to stop playing with the witcher. It is bound to end up awry. No one toys with the witcher. I know him, Coehoorn. He is too clever to lead Rience to the girl. I repeat, Rience is to organise the assassination immediately, to take the witcher out of the game at once. He's to kill him, and then disappear, bide his time and await my orders. If he comes across the sorceress's trail before that he is to leave her alone. Not a hair on Yennefer's head is to be harmed. Have you remembered that, Coehoorn?'

Geralt met the Emperor under another shape and identity, in "A Question of Price" short story, included into The Last Wish collection. At that time he was known as Urcheon of Erlenwald aka Duny, which is in fact Ciri's father. In The Lady of The Lake his real ID is finally revealed.
First, we don't know in which conditions Yennefer is taken into captivity. She can be treated like a pricess as much as a slave, and thus imprisoned and tortured.pomor said:Warning: open the tag at your own risk!
Oh, I am aware of this. But it does not explain why Emhyr is so adamant about not harming Yennefer, while being OK with ordering Geralt' assassination.
The only rationalisation I can come up with, it is that while he believed he got important enough reasons to have the man who saved his life taken out, killing this guy's woman would go too far, even for an emperor.
But it is kind of weak explanation.
Letho didn't believe Yennefer would have spilled the beans about the Lodge consciously; rather, they could have mined her repressed memories for so much as they needed. I think the Emperor's order to keep Yennefer unharmed has to do with a deeper plan that will unfold in the course of TW3.secondchildren said:First, we don't know in which conditions Yennefer is taken into captivity.

Asa far as my knowledge is about the character, I can only do speculations: Yennefer is no cutie lamb to deal with, she may have even tried to flame up the court before being capture. The Emperor knows her since a long time, so I guess he has just tricked her with lies and (since Yennefer lost memory too) she might willingly tell him everything about the Lodge etc., being absolutely unaware of what she is doing.
Why not killing Geralt? Either he doesn't know he is still alive too (at least until W2 starts, meaning when Geralt meets Shilard and the King at La Valette Castle) or he doesn't consider him to be too much harmful. In fact, so far Geralt has not stopped the war, neither killed the Emperor's plan. And last but not least, the Emperor owes something to Geralt
He broke his curse, saved his life and gave him the chance to mary Pavetta and have a child.... not just a child... Ciri, most powerful Source ever born since Lara Dorren, probably
