SHANI'S EXISTENCE? - death and appearance ingame (NOVEL SPOILER)

[3jack]

I've read the Witcher 3 novels and I strongly remember that Shani died.
I was not able to play the 1st witcher game but finished Assassin of Kings and WH already. I am Currentlly playing HoS as of now and It just struck me that this character died in the novel...or not?

As I remember it and correct if I am wrong, Shani died trying to cure the plauge that was caused by a rat. A rat that came with Ciri while she was jumping around in time and space fleeing that horny elf guy forgot his name (The king of the wild hunt). Anyway the rat came from a dimension of death and despair which carried a deadly plauge. When Ciri teleported the rat came with her and they ended up in a boat which docked in one of the major cities in the Witcher world. This causes a epedemic which SHANI was one of the doctors who tried to tend to this and died.

Im about 96% sure about this but please correct me if im wrong. YES I know she was already alive in the 1st witcher game since the devs placed her there as one of the main female roles. I also understand that the Witcher game series is not "directly" related to the novels etc blahblah yea i get that. I just want this confirmed. I only got bothered buy this or just curious since Its my 1st time seeing her in game.

anyone?

THIS. ok I understand now why I got confused. LOL thanks for clarifying

She didn't die. She did treat the victims of the plague, first outbreak during the Battle of Brenna in 1268. She's the one who tells Geralt that she'd heard he'd died. Maybe that's what you're thinking of.

According the lore, she died in 1340, 72 years after the Battle of Brenna. The first game takes place in 1270, the second in 1271 and the third in 1272.

and yeah i just recently saw that note that she did die on 1340 waay waaay in the future story wise. I probably was doing the reading when I was already burned out or my eyes we're tired so I might have also read it wrong my bad. Thanks doe!

She died of old age as a respected teacher / surgeon in her hometown (Oxenfurt).
She is 17 in the books and arround 23 or 24 in W3.

The one who died due to the plague was Essi and it was in the books.

yo and Shani in books is unimportant.. She just ment Dandelion and Geralt in Oxenfurt and then just mention about her death.. I dont know why she has so big role in witcher 1

Maybe because she slept with Geralt in the books and helped him (along with Dandelion and Philippa) track down Rience.

Unimportant? She isn´t a main character, sure. But unimportant? A bit of a stretch.

She helped Geralt in Oxenfurt by spying on Rience for him, there is also their quick romantic involvment (I think she was the only girl Geralt was able to sleep with without thinking of Yen), and she was at Brenna, which is a very big chapter.

If anything, she has roughly the same amount of time dedicated to her in the books as, for example, Triss has.
With the big difference that she actually helps Geralt with the small time she has with him.


Triss is pretty unimportant too. She is barely in the Saga. Sapkowsky kinda made the little drama of the two best friends wanting the same man, but quickly ended it with Yen putting Triss in her place and Geralt showing her very clearly that he didn´t want to be anything more than friends with her.

The only reason Triss has so much time in the games was because CDPR wanted to grab that drama oportunity that Sapkowsky barely touched. Because she is pretty unimportant in the Saga as well.


The most important female characters in the books are Yen and Ciri (these two are main characters), followed by Philippa.
Assire, Milva, Calanthe, Eithné, Nenneke are somewhat importantant.

Yes, it was her in that chapter.
I also liked her a lot.

I was thinking to myself while reading that chapter: "Oh boy! I think Yen has to watchout with this one!"

She looked like one who would be a start of something serious. But it got cut off abruptly.

Uh, guess again. She was in her late sixties in W3. Died in 1340, minus the game's year 1272, would make her 68 during the game.

What the hell kind of math are you doing? LOL

From 1272 (game year), to her death (1340) 68 years go by. From the game year to her death.

Do you realize what you said? LOL

My apologies.

No worries man. All in good spirits here.

lol Triss was ♥♥♥♥♥♥ important on the hill in battle, she raised CIRI at Kaer Morhen and she saved Yen and Geralt at the end

1. She ran away at the Sodden Hill battle.

2. She was with Ciri a week at Kaer Mohren, never again was she with her, and no, she didn´t raised her at all. She passed the task to Yen.

3. She wanted yet again to run away at Rivia. Yen spited her and she ended up staying. And she stood watching, doing nothing while Yen gave her life trying to revive Geralt.


Was this that you wanted to say?

week? she was there half year and yo she wanted run away but then she did amazing rain fire and saved Yennefer

Some refresh my memory but Geralt also had bangbang time with Shani in the books right? The part when she climed into his window or was it the other way around...anyway I think who ever geralt banged in the novel pretty much appears ingame as a love interest. Except he ones that died of course. Although Fringilla Vigo, who was also one of my favs didn't get enough spotlight but as expected she also gave sexual tension in the game.
