The Jester's riddle (contest game)

+
The point is to guess what element, from the game, I am talking about. The riddle suggests that this in-game element is a reference to another event that, as another person guessed, is from "our world". I clarified it wasn't an event that actually happened in our world but instead a story, from European folklore.

So what you'd be guessing is not this tale itself but instead the one element in the game that is similar to it. I outlined some basic points suggested in the riddle. I'll add another hint:

It happens early in the game and appears, subtly, as part of the main quest. So everyone who played TW2 has seen it.

The dead lamb ram stuffed with sulfur?

Yes! Finally :)

It relates to a Polish folk tale about the "Wawel dragon". Except in this case, it was a "kayran" and not a dragon, and it didn't quite work :p

No way i could guess this :) Well done:)
Also, the dead sheep stuffed with sulphur was also in the books, in the Sword of destiny, in the Limit of Possibilities
 
Thanks for the reminder :p

Well, here goes nothing:


Determined to outlive the most powerful
Already one beat her to death's door
Now only the one who is most despised
And she will be well satisfied



Good luck!
 
I believe it's Triss. Is it Triss?
Triss is my final answer. :p

OH yeah, here's my motivation:

Determined to outlive the most powerful
- Other sorceresses, like Sile or Philippa, Dethmold even.

Already one beat her to death's door
- This is about Geralt, because well, he died.

Now only the one who is most despised
- I think this is about Geralt as well because Witchers are despised

And she will be well satisfied
- Well... I guess we could say the relationship between Geralt and Triss was satisfying for her :p
