My Witcher OС! His name is Miklos and he is a very good boy. Unfortunately he is a devoted follower of the cult of the Eternal fire. He's soooo sweet, but he still wants to burn sorceresses ( ノ ゚ー゚)ノ
I was talking about the religion in the witcher with @yellowspiralbound and here's some art of these discussions! From left to right they are Pyr, personification of the Eternal Fire, and Pontar an OC water deity of you'll never guess! (its the Pontar ssshhh)
Just a few shots I took and considered for CDPR's Screenshot Contest previously. I did end up submitting a shot of one of these priests though. Since most people were submitting Geralts, Yennefers and Ciris, I wanted to take something different.
Thank you @tygerlyla for this wonderful NPC Wednesday idea!
You meet this particular npc on your way to The Inn at The Crossroads. His quest is called Funeral Pyres, and probably the first sidequest in Velen.
His quest is easy enough to carry. After all, those corpses need to be incinerated to prevent diseases and corpse eaters. But then after meeting Titus, the surviving victim of this priest's deception, Geralt realizes he has been burning evidence of the priest's illicit drug activities.

Yk when you're feeling particulary fine after a day of succesful human interactions that didn't blow up in your face immediately and there's something funny about a thing somebody wrote and you're feeling fine, actually, might as well send it to my friend so we can laugh about it together, but actually the thing is embedded in a pretty rich context and you just took a screenshot and cropped it so only the funny part's there and your friend actually takes these things seriously because said funny thing was on the blog of a conference we're organising so she immediately voices strong disagreement and sends this cut-out-of context thing to the main guy and he's like we gotta stop this immediately but i dont really have time can you do it? so you say yes ofc i was thinking about taking action but then you look at the previous blog posts and they are pretty similar in their informality so suddenly you start seriously questioning if it's even that serious that he compared the conference to a dead guy buried for four years but you've already sent him five messages asking him to take the blog down so now you have to delete this string of text that is the only conversation you've had with this person ever on this platform and hope he doesn't notice but you've already promised the friend and the main guy to take care of the mess the existence of which you are highly doubting now and you don't really want to cause drama but you just did cause some extensive drama amd it could really blow up, I mean the blog guy hosted you in his house without ever having seriously interacted you before based on a luke-warm reccommendation, so you really don't want to mess that up, and the main guy and friend have already been scandalized and their scandal reinforced by yourself, and you look at all of this like oh. oh. what even is the point.
