The Lodge of Sorceresses(all spoilers)

So...Who loves sorceresses? Everybody loves sorceresses! And the Lodge has some of the best ones: powerful, beautiful, cunning, smart, the list is endless! Let's discuss these dangerous beauties. Which are you favorite ones? Do you agree with their motives? Do you support them? Or do you think they should be burned on pyres?

Here's some brief information about the members:

Philippa Eilhart








Philippa is a dark-haired sorceress from Tretogor, former member of the Council, founder and de facto leader of the Lodge. She is one of the very few mages able to polymorph. Eilhart was Tissaia de Vries' best student and considered to be one of the most powerful sorceresses alive. Phillipa was an advisor to King Vizimir The Just of Redania and later to his son Radovid The Stern.She led thr Thanedd coup against the Brotherhood of Sorceress, intending to neutralize suspected traitors allied with Nilfgaard. Some people call her the"Jewel in the Court at Tretogor". Philippa had a relationship with Redania's chief spy Sigismund Dijkstra. Later she attempted to assassinate him, but Dijkstra survived and ran off to Zerrikania. She was also the one who staged King Vizimir's assassination. According to the book canon she is to be tortured to death by Temerian priest Willemer and later proclaimed Saint. At first Philippa didn't believe in Destiny, but she changed her mind during the events of the saga. She likes flying on a broom. Philippa is rumored to be around three hundred years old. Agates are her favorite gems. Philippa hates flying through fog in her owl form. She's also a lesbian.
Sheala de Tancarville








Strict, calm and collected Sheala de Tancarville (Sile de Tansarville in the English version of the games) is a dark-haired sorceress from Creyden, former member of the Council and advisor to Queen Zuleyka of Kovir. Unlike many other mages she's not known to interfere in politics and instead dedecating her days to research. Sheala is one of the most powerful, respected and feared mages in the North. Even some of the Lodge's members are afraid of her, with perhaps the exception of Philippa, Francesca, Assire and Yennefer. She was offered many times to become a member of the Conclave, but always refused. Queen Zuleyka sought Sheala's magical assistance in getting her son away from the evil influences of the "bad crowd" he had fallen in with. De Tancarville agreed to help in exchange for personal information regarding King Tancred's thoughts on the secret loan that Redania obtained from Kovir. Sheala thinks that revenge is the joy of mediocre, weak, and petty minds. As a voice of reason in the Lodge, she often tried to calm the more impulsive members of the organisation such as Sabrina and Keira. De Tancarville believes that there's nothing worse than scientifically manufactured chauvinism. She likes to dress in a strict, black velvet gown trimmed with pearls and often wraps a silver fox boa around her neck. Sheala never liked Yennefer, but she also never quiestioned her magical abilities. Sheala is also known as the Koviri Loner.
Margarita Laux-Antille





Margarita or Rita, as her friends call her, is a rector of Aretuza Academy for Sorceresses on the Isle of Thanedd and descendant of the famous Ilona Laux-Antille. Quite unusually for one of her profession, Margarita showed no interest in politics - it was only care for the good of her school that led her to join the Lodge. Rita is probably one of the nicest sorceresses alive: dating married men is her biggest crime to date. She is a co-author of the compedium Masters of Magic on Curses – Selected Writings. Rita is a close friend of Yennefer. Even though it's not always visible Margarita holds a great deal of respect for her mentor Tissaia de Vries. She was the object of Lars' affection, though she never returned his feelings. Rita believes that sorceresses should always act, for better or for worse and that indecisiveness should be their only regret. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and was described by Ciri to having a figure that surpasses Yennefer's and statues sculpted by artists.
Triss Merigold







Triss is a young chestnut haired and blue eyed sorceress from Maribor. She was a member of King Foltest's royal council along with Fercart and Keira Metz. Triss is called 'The Fourteenth of the Hill' because she was thought to have been killed during the Battle of Sodden. During the Thanedd coup she sided with Philippa and other mages loyal to the North. After the events of the coup King Foltest exiled her from Temeria. Triss's hair is her trademark and a defining characteristic. She's a creator of a powerful spell called 'Merigold's Hailstorm'. Ironically, Triss is allergic to magical poitons and can only treat herself with spells and amulets. She doesn't recognise collective responsibility. Merigold believes that anyone who doesn't know other languages besides their own are handicapped. She likes to dress in bright colours, usually green and blue. Triss is very proud of her thin waist, which is only twenty-two inces long. She really likes seafood. Triss shares an opinion with Keira Metz that women only ever beautify themselves for their own satisfaction.She's a close friend of Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri.
Keira Metz







Keira is a young straw-blonde sorceress with light hazel eyes from Carreras and former advisor to King Foltest. During the coup on Thanedd Island, she was literally hurled out of a window by Artaud Terranova, landing on Geralt who was passing below looking for Ciri. After the events of the coup King Foltest exiled her from Temeria. Later, Keira became one of the youngest members of the newly formed Lodge of Sorceresses. She likes to wear an ankh pendant and has a small mole above her left breast. Keira is rumored to be a nymphomaniac. Metz shares an opinion with Triss Merigold that women only ever beautify themselves for their own satisfaction.She really likes the tale about Cinderella. Keira is a bit spoiled and pampered. She's terribly afraid of rats.
Sabrina Glevissig







Sabrina is a dark-haired, brown-eyed sorceress from Ard Carraigh, Kaedwen's capital and advisor to King Henselt. She is a descendant of a famous sorceress Jada Glevissig. She was Philippa's second in command during the coup on the Isle of Thanedd. Known for her temper, Sabrina is probably the most impulsive member of the Lodge. She is most likely Yennefer's schoolmate, but both ladies claim to be the younger of the pair. According to Coral, Sabrina was Algernon Guincamp's lover. Glevissig never laughs at Elven jokes, because she doesn't understand them. She often interrupts the speeches of Henselt, banging her fist on the table and ordering the king to be silent and listen. Sabrina adores men, but finds them to be emotionally unstable and unreliable. Because of her brash personality some people refer to her as "The Daughter of the Kaedweni Wilderness." Sabrina is a heavy eater for a sorceress. She really like onyxes and often decorates her jewelry with them. Sabrina often wears provocative outfits to underline her somewhat predatory and vivid beauty.
Francesca Findabair







Francesca Findabair also known as Enid an Gleanna (in Elder Speech meaning Daisy of the Valley) is the Queen of Dol Blathanna as decreed by Emhyr and the last surviving member of the Conclave. She helped Vilgefortz during the Thanedd coup. Enid's biological father who disowned her was Aen Saevherne. Francesca took part in genetic experiments with the Elder Blood. Many elves hate Francesca and think of her as a traitor of the race. Enid has golden hair and azure blue eyes and loos very youthful despite being the oldest member of the Lodge. She is considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
Ida Emean aep Sivney







Ida is a red-haired elven Sage from the Blue Mountains. She was invited to the Lodge by her friend Francesca Findabair. Ida doesn't like to wear precious metals and stones, preffering pearls, corals and ambers. Ida is silent when she has nothing meaningful to say. She's the most mysterious member of the Lodge.
Assire var Anahid







Assire is a dark-haired Nilfgaardian sorceress from Vicovaro and Cahir's grandaunt. Unlike sorceresses from the North, she wasn't akin to fashion, but it quickly changed under the influence of the Lodge. Assire was known for helping the emperor with military operations during the war. She took advantage of Carthia van Carten's relationship with the head of Nilfgaard's secret service, Vattier de Rideaux.Even though Assire is a Nilfgaardian sorceress, she is a Nordling by blood like her sister Eviva. She has a black cat called Merlin.
Fringilla Vigo







Fringilla is a Nilfgaardian sorceress and a cousin of Anna Henrietta of Toussaint. She was invited to the Lodge by her friend and colleague Assire var Anahid. During the Battle of Sodden Fringilla blinded Yennefer, but later helped her escape from the Lodge. Her uncle was Artorius Vigo, the specialist illusionist. Fringilla was romantically involved with Geralt of Rivia, during his time in Toussaint. The magical amulet which she gave Geralt was instrumental in defeating Vilgefortz. Fringilla strongly believes that magic should not be divided by borders and divisions. She is a woman with natural grace, green eyes and close-cropped black hair. Fringilla was always considered to be unruly and rebellious in her homeland, but despite that she thinks that Pax Nilfgaardiana will bring culture, order and stability to the North. Lady Vigo was quite astonished by the manners and customs of the Northern sorceresses. Fringilla thinks that sphinx is a perfect emblem for the Lodge. She can't stand when men try to justify themselves, loves men who are strong and courageous and believes that a real masculinity is the right mixture of crazy and style. She hates half-meauures and half-promises, but likes books. A LOT.
Yennefer of Vengerberg






Yennefer is one of the most powerful sorceresses in the North, Geralt's lover, Ciri's adoptive mother and a member of the Council with the least seniority. She participated in the Battle of Sodden Hill, where she was blinded by Fringilla Vigo, but her eyesight was later fixed with magic. Unlike other members of the Lodge she was forced to join the organisation, but quickly escaped with the help of Fringilla. Yennefer always dresses in black and white, wears silver, not gold and smells of lilac and gooseberries. She wears an obsidian star on her neck, which enhances her magical abilities. Yennefer is unable to sleep in the dark and because of it, always keeps the lights on. She likes to comb her hair, before going to bed. In the books Geralt was the only one to ever call her "Yen", while her other friends and colleagues usually referred to her as "Yenna". Her former name is Jenny. During her childhood Yennefer was a hunchback, but her appearance was later fixed with magic. She's good friends with Triss Merigold, Lytta Neyd and Margarita Laux-Antille. Yennefer is a Quadroon (1/4 elf).
Cirilla of Vengerberg

After witcher Geralt lifted the curse from her father, he demanded from Emhyr what he had but didn't know he did, which turned out to be Ciri. Cirilla is a highly-skilled witcher, heiress to several thrones, the last bearer of the Elder Blood, a powerful Source endowed with exceptional magic talent and the Lady of Time and Space. She's also an adopted daughter of Geralt and Yennefer. Ciri has an ugly scar on her face. Her name is derived from the Elder Speech word Zireael, Swallow.

Corinne Tilly
Corinne is a famous oneiromancer and a relative of Condwiramurs.

Notable sorcerers:

Vilgefortz Of Roggeveen








Vilgefortz was a mage and a member of the Conclave, described by Yennefer as "young", but "incredibly talented". He is described as being very handsome and possessing a lovely voice. As an infant he was abandoned by his parents and left to die in a gutter in Lan Exter. He was found and raised by druids and only became a mage as an adult. In the Battle of Sodden Hill, he assumed command over the mages from the Northern Kindoms. After the battle he engineered the truce between the North and Nilfgaard. He was not only incredibly ambitious and power-hungry, but also secretly in league with Emhyr var Emries. Vilgefortz's thirst for unlimited power brought him to the conclusion that he needed Ciri's blood in order to claim her powers. On Thanedd Island, he was accused of treason and put in dimeritium shackles. However, he broke free and tried to capture Ciri (severely wounding Geralt in the process) but she fled through the portal in Tor Lara. Afterwards he hid in his castle, continuing his schemes to find the girl. To that end, he captured and tortured Yennefer for an extended period of time. He finally met his end in the hands of Geralt of Rivia at Stygga castle. "You've mistaken the stars reflected on the surface of the lake at night for the heavens" was his favorite quote.
Hen Gedymdeith
Hen Gedymdeith, originally known as "Gerhart of Aelle", was the oldest member of the Conclave, he was also the author of Elves and Humans. In fact, he was the child of two of the first human settlers on the continent which would make him nearly 500 years old at the time of the Thanedd coup. He did not survive the coup as his heart gave out. Marti Sodergren tried to heal him,but it was to late. Hen was one of the mages who inspected Goidemar's children to find Falka's bastard.
Artaud Terranova
Artaud Terranova was a mage and member of the Conclave. He was a trusted associate of Vilgefortz. During the Thanedd coup he got punched in the face by Keira Metz and later threw Keira out a window,which caused the break of her leg. Later got his eyes clawed out by Philippa in the owl form before being slain by Geralt of Rivia.
Carduin of Lan Exter
Carduin, known variously as Carduin of Lan Exter, or Carduin of Kovir, was a very respected mage and a member of the Council. During the Thanedd coup, he was considered a neutral participant and survived the incident.
Radcliffe of Oxenfurt
Radcliffe was a mage, a member of the Council and a veteran of the Battle of Sodden Hill. He was also an advisor to king Demavend of Aedirn. During the Thanedd coup he sided with the North. According to Keira Metz he was among the mages, who died during the coup, but Triss Merigold later claimed that Radcliffe led the committee examining traces of teleportation from Thanedd.
Fercart of Cidaris
Fercart was a mage and advisor to King Foltest of Temeria, along with Triss Merigold and Keira Metz. He was among the survivors of the Battle of Sodden Hill. Fercart was one of the youngest members of the Council and a supporter of Nilfgaard during the Thanedd coup, where he was killed.
Dorregaray of Vole





Dorregaray is a mage and a defender of endangered species. He took part in the hunt (search, in his opinion) for the golden dragon, Villentretenmerth. He was also a spy for king Eithan of Cideris.

Dethmold





Detmold is a flaxen-haired, taciturn mage from Ban Ard. He and his brother, Drithelm, were in the service of King Esterad of Kovir. During the Thanedd coup, Dethmold sided with pro-North sorcerers and ordered to shackle Geralt. When things started to get complicated, Detmold managed to flee to Kovir. His brother was neutral and was killed during the coup,when an arrow hit him into the eye.
Istredd
Istredd was a well-respected sorcerer in the city of Aedd Gynvael with a keen interest in archaeology. As a young apprentice, he studied under Roedsklide. Isredd was deeply in love with Yennefer and even proposed to her, while she was staying in Aedd Gynvael with Geralt. Istredd challenged Geralt to a duel to win Yennefer's affections, but the witcher refused. When Geralt was leaving the city, Istredd swore to him that he would never give up on Yennefer. His real name was Val.
Xarthisius

Xarthisius was a Nilfgaardian mage of dubious note, more of a fortune-teller and astrologer at the court of Emperor. When the future emperor was still in his youth, the mage convinced him that a cure for his curse could be found in the North. The mage was later rewarded by the emperor with his own tower and astrological equipment. Later, he given the task of locating Ciri by the Emperor. The area he identified proved to be a wasteland in the Tir Tochair mountains where Stefan Skellen found nothing but scorpions and vultures. For this and other miscalculations, he was unceremoniously tossed in the dungeon. He is also responsible for locating the "false Ciri.
Stregobor

Stregobor is a Kovirian wisard and a master illusionist, as well as a staunch believer in the "the Curse of the Black Sun". He lived in Kovir for most of his life, serving under King Idi, together with the mage Zavist. There he also met Geralt, with whom he didn't part as best friends. Some time later, Stregobor was sent to Creyden, because of Queen Aridea's suspicions concerning her stepdaughter, Renfri. The wizard came to the conclusion, based on the girl's behaviour and nature, that she was indeed one of the sixty girls accursed by the eclipse. He plotted with Aridea to kill the girl, and the Queen sent the princess to the woods with a huntsman. They found the man later with a brooch pin stuck into his brain, and no trace of Renfri. Stregobor returned to Kovir, sought to hunt down the girl. In time, the hunter became the hunted, and Stregobor survived three assassination attempts before fleeing to Pontar. Renfri followed him there, too, so his next stop was Angren, before he settled into Irion's tower in Blaviken, and assumed the moniker Master Irion. For a year, Stregobor managed to live in peace, helping the people of the town, becoming 'their' wizard. Renfri still sought to kill him, but of the two of them, he survived that fateful day, telling Geralt that he would move back to Kovir.

Rience

Rience was one of Vilgefotz'saccomplices. He was a student at the school for sorcerers in Ban Ard for two years, but hey threw him out after catching him thieving. Later Rience served in the dungeons there, during Queen Calanthe’s reign. He didn’t stay there for long, because Vilgefortz bought him out after paying off the debts. In his quest to find Ciri, Rience captured and tortured Dandelion to get information. If not for the extremely timely intervention of Yennfer, Dandelion might not have survived to continue his role as Geralt's frequent companion. Yennefer's rescue of Dandelion left a permanent "impression" on Rience. While the mage did manage to escape, the sorceress' final spell made the left side of his face permanently disfigured. Rience died while pursuing Ciri across the frozen surface of Tarn Mira. When the girl attacked, Rience's own spell misfired and broke the ice beneath his feet. Almost submerged in the freezing water Rience clutched the ice for his very life when Ciri skated through his fingers, severing them and leaving him to drown in the lake.

Ortolan
When Geralt met Ortolan, he was probably the oldest (and definitely the oldest looking) mage in a world and was in charge of the experiments done at Rissberg castle. He believes that his discoveries changed the world and made the life of ordinary people better. In fact all of them were either sabotaged by his colleagues (if they were too dangerous) or used only by mages (like the famous potion which slows down ageing). He was a homosexual and his apprentice Sorel Degerlund used his sympathies to gain more respect among his more experienced colleagues. Finally he died after having heard about Sorel's death.
Sorel Albert Amador Degerlund
This young unmanly sorcerer was a true deviant who pursued his career as an assistant of famous Ortolan. He used his master's authority to gain respect among his more experienced colleagues. He commited several mass murders, but most of the mages from Rissberg castle apologized him. As he suffered from "narcissistic leanings, lack of empathy, emotional disbalance and reduced ability to distinguish between good and evil" his colleagues recommended to put him into a quarantine at Rissberg where he could both undergo psychotherapy and continue in his genetics research. However, Geralt found and eliminated him.
Algernon Guincamp
Algernon Guincamp known as Pinety is one of the sorcerers who conducted research at Rissberg castle. Along with Harlan Tzara, he hired Geralt to investigate a possible demonic possession that turned out to be staged by Sorel Degerlund. His colleagues accused him of disloyalty and he had to leave Rissberg. He decided to move to Nilfgaard and gave Geralt a fine sword from Wiroleda. Pinety had a romance with Lytta Neyd and most likely also with Sabrina Glevissig. He has collections of military figurines, erotic posters and sailing ship models and he likes fishing with an artificial fly.
Bras of Ban Ard
Bras is a mage researcher and craftsman. He was one of many human sorcerers fascinated by Loc Muinne and wanted to fathom all its mysteries. During his travels and research, he had come into possession of several quite interesting weapons. He sold these to any whose pouch was deep enough to cover the expense.
Azar Javed
Azar Javed was a renegade Zerrikenian sorcerer and alchemist who took part in Salamandra's attack on Kaer Morhen. He and the Professor were the main instigators of the raid on the fortress and were uniquely responsible for the theft of the witchers' secrets. Azar was one of the highest ranking Salamandra, but not the ultimate leader. He died by Geralt's hand during the duel in the Salamandra laboratory. Azar was specialized in the element of fire. He was famous for using the same quotes as Vilgefortz. Love for luxury,fisstech and women were his greatest weaknesses.
Abelard of Hagge
Abelard of Hagge was an alumnus of the Academy at Ban Ard. He probably replaced Radcliffe at the post of King Demavend's advisor, but it's not known for certain. He was killed by Letho along with the King and his formation during the river cruise.
Avallac'h

Crevan Espane aep Caomhan Macha, also known as Avallac'h, is an elf and Aen Saevherne who travels between the worlds of the Aen Elle and Aen Seidhe. He meets Geralt and tells the witcher about a prophecy connected with Ciri. He was nicknamed 'Fox' by the unicorns. Lara Dorren was originally intended to marry him, before she fell in love with Cregennan of Lod. He was the one who brought Ciri to the Aen Elle king Auberon, promising Ciri that she would be allowed to return to her world, if she conceived a child with the king. Eredin however claimed that Avallac'h was lying.
Albrich



Albrich is a Nilfgaardian mage. He was part of the group of mages who tried pinpoint Ciri's location for the Emperor, but with no success since the distance was too far. Later during the celebration of Adelsberg's victory Emhyr noticed Albrich with Fringilla Vigo and called them "lazy freeloaders" for their failure.
Vanhemar







Vanhemar was a Nilfgaardian mage, Cynthia's master and personal sorcerer to Ambassador Shilard Fitz-Oesterlen, whom he accompanied as part of the Empire's delegation. He died in a fight with Geralt when Ambassador unwisely left him to "finish off" the witcher while the delegation fled to Loc Muinne to attend the summit.

Me! Me! Me! I love them all, but Sheala, Yen and Philippa are my favourites. I was truly dissapointed by what reds did with the Lodge in games, but I am a huge fan of them in books. I was hoping there will be a book-lore friendly ending with the great Lodge, magicraty and saint Philippa, but, well not everything I want I get.
I had a small and half-dead hope, that in the future expansions there will be more interactions eith the Lodge members, and there will be a chance to heal and save Sheala.
And I hope Sapkowski will write more Witcher books, featuring the Lodge, It should be interesting.

Yeah,I was kinda disappointed by their treatment in the games too.Sheala,Assire and Sabrina were killed off in a stupid manner.Philippa was blinded.Fringilla,Rita and Ida were barely present and Francesca didn't even appear.Keira probably got the best treatment out of all of them.
 
It would be nice if we had Lodge ending too, if we can support all those stupid kings and emperors why can`t we have something with lodge too.
 
Love them all (Yen and Triss especially), but I have a real soft spot for Keira Metz, she's a legend, and an absolute blast to talk to in the game!
 
Yennefer NEVER was a member.

Triss is more of an ex-member. At best. At least in W3.

Well,Yen was a member.She said so herself in Lady of the Lake:
“I am still a member of the Lodge,” said Yennefer. “I have not been deprived of membership, you have not put anyone else in my place, so I have the right to vote. Certainly I know how I will vote. My vote therefore pushes the scales over and settles the matter.”

Then either add them to the poll or remove them from the list of lodge members. You're skewing the poll otherwise.

As a said evryone will vote for them and it'll be boring.Besides the poll only allows 10 options,so i can include only one more option.

That's kinda like *would introduce modern politics but remembers how it will end* ... :p

Technically ... maybe. In reality? Not really :p
 
You know, it's a shame they never followed up on Philippa's proposition to Ciri; asking her about joining (and even leading) the lodge and all. That thread was just left hanging in the end, as was the fate of the lodge in general.

Yeah,why introduce an important plot point if you're not goona do anything with it? :wall:
There should've been some closure to the whole buisness with the Lodge.

I was convinced there was going to be a "Lodge Ending" but it never came... Still confuses me..

If you don't accompany Ciri to the meeting I believe she says that she'll tell Geralt and Yen about it later, but that never ends up being addressed again. The thing about Act 3 in general is that there's an impression that more was intended but for whatever reason (be it time or resource constraints) it didn't end up in the game. This plot point in particular is just left by the wayside with no resolution.

Ciri and Yen was a members of the Lodge. One-time, but still was. I do not understand why in the games Philippa denyed it, sounded like she has amnesia, maybe Geralt infested her with it. Triss is still a member, no official statemen from Lodge was given about her excluding from it.

You're as bad as CDPR for offering people choice then making it for them. You can't throw a poll up asking for people's favourite and then not include their favourite because they'll vote for them. That's ridiculous.
