Hi all,
We are really big fans of The Witcher, so we decided to create interesting fan project. Our historical fencing group Carpe diem (Brno, Czech Republic) organized an event one month ago, based on the Witcher's world. It was the second volume actually.
We've just released first short movie from this event (link below). It's name is "Nejasná budoucnost" (It could be translated as "Unclear future", or "Future in the mist"). Story speaks about siege of the castle Scala in Lyria. Nilfgaard main army is marching to the Cintra and one smaller group was sent to secure Lyrian border castles Scala and Spalla. During the event 4 armies (Redania, Cintra, Nilfgaard and Scoia'tal) march entire day through the forest and fight by the castle ruins to get at least a small advantage over their opponents. We use steel weapons and armors to make it more realistic.
During this particular skirmish Redanian and Cintran scouts were confronted with Nilfgaard striking unit led by young officer Declan Ros aep Maelchlad. Northern forces was deceitfully ambushed by bloody Scoia'tael commandos.
I hope your fans will enjoy this video as we did during the event. If you are interested, we will be able to make another fan-movies soon, we've got enough filming materials.

Share, comment, hate, whatever you want. I'm just working on the second movie, it's going to be about regular Cintran soldiers, during the siege. Any improvement tips will be nice
