Eredins power during the witcher 3

[LilDavyy]

So they said he lost the power of time and space or wtv and yet he and the wild hunt are able to follow ciri... Secondly how come he is powerful if he is but an elf? Arent their good elves that would fight against him?

The Wild Hunt are from a different realm. They don't care about the non-humans in Geralts world.

That's why they have a navigator, a elven mage specailly trained in being able to open portals so that they travel through space and time.

He's of an ancient race of elves. If you played the game all the way through to the end, you'd notice even physical differences in them compared to other elves in the Witcher world.

Yea ik, but im wondering how come eredin doesnt have that power? like eredin can teleport but caranthir has the power of time and space... how come he is not capable of opening the portal for the aen elle to invade, also the reason they want to invade is too escape the white frost?

It's an attempt to make it look cool.

Caranthir is the only Navigator. Yet Imlerith and Eredin can teleport (or phasing or whatever you want to call). Eredin inexplicably channel magic power into his sword in an inefficient way and shoot it at you by slashing the sword, when all he need to do is point and zap like every other ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mages.

You got it wrong.

Eredin and Caranthir can travel. But not between worlds. Like sorcerers/sorceresses.

Navigators use ancient artefacts/knowledge to open portals between worlds. Without these ancients artefacts, they can't open portals between worlds. Plus, Navigators cannot open "massive" portals and sustain them long enough for an army to go through.

They need the Elder Blood for that.

Now, why are they different from the normal elves? Mostly because their world is filled with magic and Temeria isn't. They dwell into magic way more than sorcerers. Which we also suppose is why their appearances changed through years. It's also the reason why Eredin, Caranthir, Avallac'h, etc, are very strong. Especially since elves are usually strong magic-wise.

Also, the "good" elves would mostly team up with the Riders if they'd meet, because they want their land back from the humans. And also because, before the first conjunfction of spheres, the elves from the witcher world and the elves from the wild hunt world lived together. So yeah.

[Big Boom Boom]

Oh but they can open portals between world. Imlerith appear at the Bald Mountain on his own, without Caranthir (The chief Navigator) help.

Don't forget that the author does not consider the games as canon, because quite simply the games bend a lot of the lore for the games sakes.

They can travel between worlds, they need Ciri for a mass invastion, I think he plans to use her as a charger for a massive portal.

Also couldnt caranthir just demolish eredin if he has the power of time and space...I mean wouldnt he be tougher, what makes eredin king?

Legitimacy.

Eredin "inherited" the King throne after the King was poisoned by him (actually if I remember correctly it was Ciri in the book).

But what makes eredin superior? I mean Caranthir in theory has a greater power than Eredin, why is he general, what makes eredin all superior?

[KoalafiedKiller]

Same reason kings are rulers and sorcerers are not. Eredin is probably charismatic and a good leader. It's possible Caranthir has awful public speaking skills. They aren't cave men running around relying on raw strength/power for leadership.

Hmm true, but I just feel like Eredin isnt as "badass" as he should be, I mean he is king of the wild hunt and yet his general poses a bigger threat... At any rate besides Ciri who is the most powerful being in the universe of the witcher? Im guessing its eredin or caranthir or geralt?

[Kain]

Well, it's not a Kings place to be the 'strongest' fighter, it's his place to rule and demand respect, it's about charisma.

Yea but it seems to implied in the lore that eredin is almight whereas he is not, you know most characters fear eredin above all else in combat... But its weird though because he seems to possess greater magical abilities than the other generals? All the visions, he is the omen of death of whatever...Ciri wouldnt dare face eredin during the 3rd game but she faced caranthir....

You do realize that that is in the same world as where he was before. He was present at the attack and was still on the same world. And yeah dimensional travel is not the same as simply bending space in your own dimension.

[Kain]

Caranthir by far is the most badass of the bunch, by far.
