Trial of grasses

[Grid]

Does this mean yennefer managed to emulate the forgotten secrets of Reidrich. Does this mean the school of the wolf is back on recruiting children?

It's whatever you want it to be. Obviously that's the vibe going forward.

I doubt it. There was so much more to the Trial of Grasses than what Yen did. The process was so much more horrifying, painful, exhausting, drawn-out and life-threatening, so much so that Vesemir couldn't stomach the thought of rediscovering the long forgotten secrets. That's not to say it would be impossible, it's just that no one wanted to. (Until Ciri apparently in Witcher 4).

The only thing Yen used from the Trials was the table and the decoction, but she used the old Aen Elle spell to break the curse. The same spell Avallac'h used on himself in order to turn himself into Uma and hide from the hunt. Despite being an Aen Elle elf and a mage, Avallac'h was lucky to survive at all. But that was enough for some very bad memories to resurface for Geralt, Eskel, Lambert and Vesemir.

I did remember lambert whine about it with yennefer as it should be forgotten. Eskel said they would need to have a serious conversation about taking in apprentices. Geralt's avoiding the topic.

Any surviving Witcher has suffered great losses, as majority of their peers didn't survive the trials. Humans and mages almost wiped them out completely and destroyed their schools, others were killed by the monsters they hunt. So during the events of Witcher 3, they are facing extinction. Naturally, they would be conflicted whether or not to put children through agony to save their legacy or just accept it.

Eskel and Geralt had a strong brother like bond and neither remember life before the trials. Geralt is one of few that completed all of the trials (same as Vesemir). That would make it easier for them to accept what they had become, unlike Lambert who still remembers. Even if it wasn't the most ideal life, Lambert has never been able to make peace with being "taken" from his life. Especially considering Lambert lost his 'brother' in the trials.

I would also imagine it would be different being the one going through the trials as opposed to being the one putting others through it. Vesemir is the only one alive whose done both and he's leaning more towards just accepting extinction.
Personally I don't think Eskel or Geralt would have what it takes to go through with it on unwilling participants. Perhaps if they were willing Lambert might feel differently about it, but who besides Ciri would honestly be crazy enough to want it?

The devs said that we'll get to see for ourselves. You don't start the game with Ciri already being full witcher.

Yen would NEVER put Ciri through the Trial, to even assume this is kind of character assassination. She and Geralt would both know just how deadly the trial is.

Plot armor?

Too bad CDPR forgot all of this lore.
