sapkowski does a fantastic job with environmental descriptions, but they are often overshadowed by such lovable characters and interesting dialogue that readers often skip the descriptions of surroundings to get to conversations. truly, dj khaled suffering from success.jpeg.
each environment, each place, has such a specific vision with so many little details. each scene is a painting in prose.
thus, this is an appreciation post for some of my favorite environmental descriptions including landscapes, building, and food in the witcher, particularly from along the hansa’s journey as those are my favorite scenes…
dol blathanna, edge of the world
the marshes and dry land of angren, baptism of fire
the mountainous region of the north case, tower of the swallow
the beauclair banquet, lady of the lake
breakfast in beauclair, lady of the lake
condwiramurs’ stay in inis vitre, lady of the lake
