Geopolitical Backdrop of the Witcher Games (clarification sought)
So I've been boning up on the wider geopolitical happenings on the Continent during the time frame of the 3 games. For me, the significant events are the Nilfgaardian invasions of the north.
The first invasion saw the conquest of Cintra, but the invasion was ultimately stopped at the Battle of Sodden Hill.
The second invasion was also unsuccessful, and the Battle of Brenna was a defeat for Emperor Emhyr.
The third invasion occurs at the end of Witcher 2 and the outcome, to a certain extent, depends on the player's choices in Witcher 3. At the start of the game (Witcher 3), the opposing forces are more or less at a stalemate along the Pontar River.
The events of Witcher 2 obviously occurs after the second invasion but before the third. I am however unclear as to where to place Witcher 1 in this timeline.
