1. Of Ballads, Brawlers, and Bloodied Blades
'Faced with chaos, the people will always choose order. No matter the cost.' - Balor (The Witcher: Blood Origin) Click To Tweet
Jaskier: [to himself] What do we do, Jaskier? What do we do in situations like this? We revert to the basics.
Jaskier: This is new. For the record, I’m not not into it. Good looking man, nice boots. Am I dead?
Seanchaí (as Jaskier): [as he slaps Jaskier] Not dead.
Jaskier: I’m getting that.
'What has happened will happen again.' - Merwyn (The Witcher: Blood Origin) Click To Tweet
Jaskier: What are you?
Seanchaí (as Jaskier): I am many things. Many faces. Many places.
Jaskier: Then why do you look like me?
Seanchaí (as Jaskier): Because you love yourself. I have other faces. If you prefer.
'The ignorant are always jealous of anyone with gifts.' - Éile (The Witcher: Blood Origin) Click To Tweet
Seanchaí: We’re related, you and I. You’re a bard. I am a storyteller. Of a sort.
Jaskier: I beg to differ. You are a time-stopping, shape-shifting, probably going to eat me without salt at some point sort of storyteller. I’m just a man, with an admittedly fun hat. We’re not the same.
2. Of Dreams, Defiance, and Desperate Deeds'It's all about the little things, isn't it? When you think about it. The little traces we leave behind of ourselves. Our little tells.' - Meldof (The Witcher: Blood Origin) Click To Tweet
Meldof: Name’s Meldof. I’m looking for Talyysen of the One Eye. Big s**t stain of an elf.
Balor: [to Eredin] I can hear you grinding your teeth. Please don’t make me drown you. It would upset the other patrons no end.
'Control the story, control the world.' - Balor (The Witcher: Blood Origin) Click To Tweet
Eredin: [referring to the merchants] They still control the supply lines to the east. Hang them, and we lose access to the Dwarven steel we need for our campaigns to the new world.
Balor: What would you suggest we do? Invite them over for tea? Bake them a honey cake?
Eredin: Arrest the guild leadership. Allow the rest of them to continue trading under our terms. Starving citizens are a recipe for rebellion.
Balor: Try it. If it doesn’t work, there’s always the honey cake. Or the hanging.
'Sometimes, luck simply casts her lot against you.' - Merwyn (The Witcher: Blood Origin) Click To Tweet
Eredin: Stories can be put down with steel.
Balor: History is littered with fools who believed the very same. Control the story, control the world.
3. Of Warriors, Wakes, and Wondrous Worlds
'Every time I think I've suffered the last fool, another lands in front of me.' - Scían (The Witcher: Blood Origin) Click To Tweet
Éile: We’re f***ed.
Meldof: Come with me if you want to live.
Meldof: Of course, I was planning on watching you get eaten, till Gwen said there was something special about you lot.
'True sacrifice comes from within.' - Balor (The Witcher: Blood Origin) Click To Tweet
Meldof: And the Lark herself, no less. Thought you’d be shorter. Still, it’s not your fault.
Éile: It’s been days since we’ve had a hot meal.
Meldof: A meal shared is a meal well-seasoned, as my father used to say.
4. Of Mages, Malice, and Monstrous Mayhem'Small minds will always fear what they don't understand.' - Merwyn (The Witcher: Blood Origin) Click To Tweet
Balor: [to Eredin] I gave you everything you wanted, and still you betrayed me.
Light: Now you’ve transformed, what will you do with such wonderful Chaos?
Balor: I’m going to take what I’ve always deserved. Everything.
'Isn't it amazing how unscary something is when you can see its a**hole?' - Uthrok One-Nut (The Witcher: Blood Origin) Click To Tweet
Merwyn: A bright future lies ahead. Regretfully, not for you. You’re a sellsword and Ghost Tribe. So you see why I can’t let you go.
Scían: You will honor our agreement.
Merwyn: Honor? From the legends that I’ve read, your Ghost Tribe was honorable above all else. And yet here you are, a betrayer, selling out your fellow warriors for a bit of metal! A disgrace to your ancestors.
Merwyn: Take her to the square. Behead her with the sword that she betrayed her friends for.
Scían: I’ll haunt you for eternity.
Merwyn: And place her head on the city gates as a warning to malcontents.
Scían: May your womb rot, and your name be forgotten.
