I mean if you think about it it makes sense. After all all that lets us humans age are the limits of our ability of cell and DNS reproduction. Would our cells have higher reproductive capabilities and would our body contain more telomerase which could produce telomers, the endings of our DNS that do not contain any information but prevent that our DNS is "cut short" while copying it because that is unfortunately happening , we would live longer.
In fact, I think scientists just recently discovered a gene that could increase out cell reproduction abilities, so a "jump" in age-limitations might not be so far away in todays world. Sorceresses and Mages grow old due to their magic, and their appearance is most of the time formed by magic.
They change themselves to look attractive. Not a n illusion mind you, more like a transformation done by magic over the years on purpose by the mages themselves. I think Sorcerers and Sorceresses can become around - years old according to the books, while Witchers COULD live a little bit less long, though most die between 20 and no specifics were ever named, those latter numbers are only estimated due to the nature of their work.
As for Ciri, well, she isn't old yet, but considering she had magic abilities AND has elven blood elves grow hundreds of years old in her veins it probably means she could get very old as well. Smurfin said:. Me too, he's 90ish I think I read about it somewhere.
And a witcher has a lifespan of years. Last edited: Jun 11, So Yen is older than Geralt? Similar threads. Regis outro animation is wrong! Oct 30, Scoundrel Easter Egg. Oct 7, Upon arrival, the two left the tower they had landed on top of, and were instantly surrounded by Ofiri guards. They were arrested and taken before Malliq Nibras , the leader of Ofir, and played innocent with Geralt taking the name of Lambert.
Nibras told "Lambert" he must travel to the north, and kill Geralt of Rivia, the witcher that had slayed his son Sirvat ; until this job was completed he would keep Dandelion at the palace as a "guest". That evening, Geralt met with Radeyah , the crown sorceress who knew his true identity, despite their trickery. She told him about her reviving the maliq's wife Zaira , and about the murders that had followed of the concubines of the maliq.
The next morning, Geralt and Radeyah attacked Zaira in the palace gardens, knocking her unconscious. After discovering that she radiated a strong magically aura, they left as Maraal , the crown assassin had arrived. He confronted Geralt outside the city gates, and the two fought, with Maraal blind with fury that they had attacked Zaira.
Geralt taunted him about a possible secret relationship, and then drove his sword through the assassin's chest. The sorceress and witcher met in private, discussing the battle, when suddenly they heard a scream outside. Dayo , one of the maliq's concubines, had been killed by a djinn. Hours later, they met again in a cave outside the city, where Geralt fought off Falaks in order to collect sewant mushrooms. They discussed Yennefer before being attacked again, this time by a large insectoid creature.
They next went to the dead mage Aamad 's workshop to create Archeus' salt , a substance handy for fighting djinns. Geralt left to find Zaira, who was in the throne room, possessing Nibras. The witcher and sorceress clashed, until Geralt managed to slay her with his sword. He was arrested by the guards, and thrown into jail for her murder. The next day he faced trial, where Nibras sentenced him to be flayed alive. Dandelion defended the witcher, but suggested instead that he be locked in a trunk and thrown in the sea.
Standing on the cliff's edge the next day, Geralt was thrown into the sea but activated the magical runes in order to escape drowning. The next night, Geralt confronted Nemet , the city coroner about where he buried bodies.
They found the hole, where Zaira was lying a week deceased, before being attacked by giant crows. Following the battle, Geralt realised they had torn Nemet to pieces, so he left towards the palace alone. He met with Fathaa , who explained the curse and runes better. Before leaving Ofir, the witcher met one last time with Radeyah, revealing that he knew her entire plan to frame Geralt after cursing Zaira.
Instead of killing her however, he sent her in a magic trunk to Yennefer. The witcher then left Ofir with Dandelion, boarding a ship at the docks.
Most of the time, he could be apathetic, cynical, and threatening. Despite his outwardly cold nature, Dandelion noted that behind his exterior was hiding a fiercely loyal friend, and a man of good humour and as someone not indifferent to suffering. He was also very protective of and loyal to his friends and companions, and was willing to go to great lengths for those who mattered to him. He could be kind-hearted and caring to the people he loved.
Geralt was also shown to be extremely adept at allaying intense, and at times bleak, situations and as a man who would much sooner have everyone return home than draw their swords. His lifespan made him a world-weary man, often expressing disdain and circuitous insults to those he considered cruel, foolish, etc.
He may have risked Temeria's future to save Triss Merigold from the Nilfgaardians. He also was shown requesting Scoia'tael to spare Dandelion and kill only him. Geralt frequently showed remorse and had revelations in his life. Other times he had complete emotional breakdowns, even giving up being a witcher in general and dropping his morals at one point. The story of Geralt and Ciri became a popular saga many years, probably centuries, after the actual events had taken place.
The chief sources of these stories were Dandelion's ballads and the bard's autobiography Half a Century of Poetry. However, Dandelion was not fond of telling the whole truth, and ultimately many versions of Geralt's and Ciri's adventures were spread far and wide, including simplified and harmless children's tales, leading scholars to struggle in distinguishing those stories that were considered canon from those that seemed non-canonical and embellished. Many years in the future, the sorceress Nimue verch Wledyr ap Gwyn and her assistant Condwiramurs Tilly conducted extensive research into the matter, in an attempt to determine what had really happened to Geralt and Ciri.
After seemingly having been killed by a mob during a pogrom of nonhumans at the end of the Witcher saga , Geralt returns to life with no recollection of the details of his sudden reappearance or of the five intervening years. He is rescued by the last remaining witchers in the world and is taken back to Kaer Morhen. There, he is drawn into a complicated conspiracy concerning the witchers, their secrets, and the nefarious forces that are after that knowledge.
Shortly after Geralt's return to Kaer Morhen, an attack is launched on the fortress by an unknown organization, spearheaded by two mages. Though one mage is unknown to her, Triss recognizes the other as Savolla. Geralt provides assistance to his friends in repelling the attack, before Vesemir proclaims that the party must split up as the two mages, having unleashed a frightener in the main courtyard, have descended into the witchers' laboratory to procure the secrets they are in pursuit of.
Vesemir offers Geralt the choice of either going after the mages with Triss, or staying to assist the other witchers in defeating the frightener.
Later, Leo and Geralt find Triss in an injured state, and descend to the laboratory in order to stop the mages from absconding with the secret formulae. When confronted with the witchers, one of the attackers, namely, The Professor , kills Leo with a crossbow bolt before teleporting away, along with the mages and a sizeable portion of the witchers' writings.
During Leo's funeral, Vesemir decides that the attackers, known as Salamandra, must be tracked down and forced to pay for their transgressions.
He tells Geralt to use Temeria as a starting point in his search, as he once lifted a curse there from Foltest's daughter. Geralt pursues the mysterious Salamandra , and in the process meets many people from his past, as well as new acquaintances who either require the witcher's help or offer their own in his quest to regain his identity. Vizima is under quarantine due to the Catriona plague , and Geralt cannot enter it as he lacks the necessary letter of safe conduct.
Thus, he settles in Vizima's outskirts. During the night, Geralt is attacked by spectral hounds, known as barghests , which were in pursuit of a woman and child. The witcher manages to rescue a boy named Alvin , who levitates and recites Ithlinne's Prophecy in a disturbing voice after the attack, revealing himself to be a Source. Shortly thereafter, Geralt meets Shani , a red-haired medic hailing from Oxenfurt who arrived here to help quell the Catriona epidemic.
She decides to place the now-orphaned Alvin under her care. Geralt also meets the alchemist Kalkstein , a trader named Declan Leuvaarden , and Zoltan Chivay, an old friend from Geralt's past life. Geralt seeks out the Reverend , who agrees to assist him in obtaining passage to the city if he fulfils the contract on The Beast , a certain entity which is thought to be responsible for the barghests.
The trader Odo tasks Geralt with weeding out the echinops in his garden after a session of heavy drinking. Mikul sends the witcher to clear the local crypt of ghouls , wherein Geralt discovers the corpse of a poisoned woman.
Haren Brogg tasks Geralt with driving away the drowners from his goods by the riverbank. It becomes apparent, however, that Haren is actually a hawker , after a regiment of Scoia'tael attempts to take away the goods Geralt was tasked to protect. The Reverend then offers Geralt to deal with Abigail , a local witch, to whom Shani has now transferred her responsibility over Alvin.
The witch carries out a magical procedure in which she attempts to communicate with the spirit of the White Frost in Alvin awakened by the Beast. It confers that the Beast's appearance was caused by the sins of the local residents. Geralt returns to the Inn, wherein he discovers a group of Salamandra fighters assaulting Shani. After dealing with them, the witcher pursues the other members of the Salamandra.
Upon reaching their cavernous lair , Geralt discovers Alvin inside who was taken from Abigail's home and turned over to the group by the Reverend and his followers. Further along the cave system, Geralt and Alvin meet Abigail, who asks for the witcher's help in fleeing the enraged crowd that has amassed outside.
Geralt makes a choice, either to save Abigail from being lynched, or to leave her to the judgment of the Outskirts' residents. After deciding, he defeats the Beast and the barghests. Later, after receiving a pass into Vizima from the Reverend, or taking it from his corpse, Geralt returns to the Inn, and travels to the city with Shani.
However, he is stopped by Mikul at the gates and is turned over to the city guard. The third installment of the trilogy, like its predecessors, follows Geralt through his final adventures. Following the events of Witcher 2, Geralt has regained his memory of the past and prepares to embark on a new journey.
In the Witcher 3, Geralt is on the hunt for the only person he considers kin, Ciri. Along his journey, Geralt must face the Wild Hunt in order to protect the people he cares about. In the new open world, Geralt has the opportunity to complete quests that are both part of the main story and side quests.

Geralt, caught in a thick tangle of deceit, will need all his cunning and strength to solve the mystery and emerge unscathed.

The following is considered comics canon only and may contradict Andrzej Sapkowski 's works. She was only born around , making her surprisingly young and closer in age to Ciri than she's to Geralt or Yennefer.
That's why Triss called Ciri her 'little sister' in the games. Despite her youth, Triss became the youngest member of the Lodge of Sorceresses which proves her immense magical talent. Ciri is one of the youngest characters in The Witcher world - which comes as no surprise considering she's also called 'the Child of Surprise'. However, what might not every fan realize is that there's a difference between her age in the books and in the games. The books state that Ciri's year of birth is but The Witcher 3 made her older and let her birth year be This article wouldn't be complete without the titular Witcher, Geralt of Rivia himself.
Geralt looks relatively young, which steams from the fact that witchers age slower than humans and tend to be long-lived unless a monster kills them first.
In the show, Geralt was born in so he's fairly close in age to his greatest love Yennefer. Kath Leroy is a writer at Screen Rant. She also publishes in a number of Czech magazines. She works as an actress and appeared in feature films, short films, as well as TV series.
