Witcher Schools: School of The Griffin - Witcher Lore - Witcher Mythology - Witcher 3 lore

What is the school of the griffin? In this video I try my best to explain the history of the school of the griffin. I will go over prominent members and their history, the school of the griffins effect on the witcher games, George of Kagen, Jerome Moreau and many other school of the griffin witcher's!

A quick disclaimer - A lot of these videos use information from the witcher wiki, in some cases I do read directly from the pages, I do always make sure to include my own thoughts and other information I know myself, but I just want to make sure everyone is on the same page here. Even though I use information from the wiki, I do still create the videos, with time, effort and a lot of editing! The idea behind the lore videos is to present to information to you guys in a fun and more interesting way then you guys having to get the information from pages and read it yourself. If anyone isn't okay with this I apologise, but since day one I have always said where I get the information from. Thank you for reading.

What I learned by looking up is that the Griffin school focused more on magic and less sword fighting as they made an advanced form of yrden that could hold a monster for hours and short teleportation and many other advanced signs

[@WitcherGeorge]

[@alphacentauri3069]

I’d like Griffin armor if it didn’t make Geralt look like he’d spent too much time at the Vegalbuds

[@dragoneer59]

It's a breastplate form of armor (just like real armor). That curvature served to deflect arrows from penetrating and could also help to deflect blows from swords. If you look at him from the rear, the rear side of the armor is flat. The front is curved for the reasons I said, and well, you''re fighting is all wrong if you're taking blows from behind. ;)

[@nag7254]

I agree with you, because its whole bulge in normal armor improves the deflection of blows, but this armor in mainly made out of leather making the bulge completely useless

[@Boddah.]

If you dye it Red and black it looks better.

[@MrKrystal64]

​@@dragoneer59 it goes with the stats bonus of 50 resistance to almost all damage type and bonus to sign damage I think. So lore wise it makes sense

[@wardeni4806]

What I gathered from the lore is basically: Griffin School = Magic specialisation, somewhat knightly and heroic. Possibly linked to Toussaint. Cat School = Swordsmanship specialisation, ties to the elves. Wolf School = No specialisation, a sort of "jack of all trades" school. Viper School = A school focused on gathering monster lore, a sort of "knowledge is power" -sort of school. Bear School = Similar to wolf school, except they wear heavier armour and tend to not get along with each other. Manticore School = Alchemy specialisation, founded somewhere in Zerrikania or elsewhere in the east.

[@dovahkiin_brasil]

The Manticore school also don't posses much influence outside of it's homebase

[@andrescalvo2536]

The griffin school is in Kovir and Poviss

[@Makarosc]

Crane School = wear diving suits and specialize in hunting sea monsters with projectile weapons

[@cool06alt]

Griffin school is also the only school that behave more like knightly order, being formed by first generation witchers from the time there is only single unified witcher school led by Alzur himself. Another point is that the entire school is geared toward preparation and intelligent planning, it is said in the new lorebook that the final test of Griffin school witcher is either taking the egg of griffin in stealth or reciting in full memory a magical book known as Liber Tenebraum. So this guy is pretty much green beret style super nerd.

[@cool06alt]

So far Wolf and Griffin witchers are the one that filled with relatively normal and rather sane individual. Most other witchers are just straight sociopath crazed killer that only care about highest bid contract. Even the bear school

[@gphjr1444]

I love the Griffin on my first new game+ I tried a paladin build putting most of my points in signs and sword play. Wish we could get a prequel set 500+ years prior to Geralt when all the schools were in their prime.

[@88cryingwolf]

gphjr14 me too! If CD red ever makes another Witcher game I’d want a prequel set during Witcher prime time where u decided which school u start out with.

[@rjw4149]

I REALLY hope they do. Imo if they do i think it could be much better then 3, which would be tough to do

[@briansouthparkstudio1357]

or have the schools reemerge remember that the unseen elder says the portals will be opening soon in 100 to 300 years witchers have really long life spans remember that geralt is like an 100 years old himself. and when the portals reopened not only will the unseen elder be able to go back home like he wants but the monsters will be able to come though again

[@piratebunny173]

In the books the Witcher doesn’t tend to carry both swords at once and not all monsters are weak to silver. Like vampires. Vampires are not weak to silver. Regis talks about this in the books. He only needs his silver sword for specific monsters. Cursed beings for example: the striga. So a dragon could most definitely be killed by something other than silver. It’s mostly a game mechanic added to the witcher games. Otherwise we would rarely use the silver sword at all.

[@shadowwright3232]

Metallurgy 101: Melting point of steel 1510 degrees Celsius (2750 degrees F), melting point of silver 961.8 degrees Celsius (1763 degrees F). If I had to fight a dragon, then I think I'd be taking the steel. ;)

[@emiraydn5965]

Shadow Wright Also most Dragon scales would be to hard for silver swords.

[@rjw4149]

Shadow Wright im pretty sure dragon fire would melt steel like butter in the microwave

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Ryan Williamson a lot of the Relic "steel" swords in the Witcher 3 are made from Dimeritium. This could possibly be an alloy similar to Timascus (titanium that's been forged and folded multiple times to create layers, forming a superior metal). As it's implied in the game that Dimeritium is superior to steel, and much lighter (Just like titanium).

[@-bandit-2287]

In one of the books Geralt openly said that there is no such thing as a "witcher's code". There is a general consent about some things, but no one ever bothered to actually compile a code of conduct from that. He explained that it can make dealing with people sometimes easier, since a code is something that's respected. He can say that his code forbids him from doing something instead of saying that he doesn't want to do something. It's not something he makes up on the spot to behave however he wants to, though (although he admitted of sometimes hiding behind the code). He actually set some rules for himself and tries to stick to that. You might be better off calling it 'principles' instead of 'code'. Geralt said in the books that HE doesn't hunt dragons, but that doesn't really mean another witcher would be against it.

[@theArab__]

-Bandit- Geralt in general doesn’t hunt animals near extinction, tends to drive them away and killing them as a last resort

The gryphon school is probably my favorite simply due to their emphasis on magic and being battle mages. Magic is so powerful but the magic schools are far too strict and difficult. We need some middle class wizards!

[@josephmchugh4040]

The one big gripe I have with the Witcher games is how all monsters are vulnerable to silver swords. In the books not all monsters were weak to silver, some were weak to steel or specifically meteorite steel. Also, anyone else think it's odd that you use silver swords on the wild hunt? They're not really wraiths, they're elves and you don't use silver swords on normal elf enemies like scoatel.

[@WitcherGeorge]

It is quiet strange, maybe silver swords have more of an affect against creatures that have experienced the conjunction of spheres? Unlikely, but I guess they had to make the game mechanics not to complicated so, they went for the simple one sword does one thing and the other does one thing haha.

[@bryanskscion2229]

The elves of the wild hunt are magically imbued to be bigger and stronger in the witcher 3 game but why would silver swords do anything to them other than being sharpened pieces of metal.

[@joselazo9799]

CDPR made an incredibly smart move changing a lot from the books, so it could better translate on game. If all the rules were followed from the books, the game would have crashed; much like it did with the more faithful, but still different, TW1. The books might be great, but as a 100% faithful game they wouldn't be anywhere near as good as CDPR's Witcher series.

[@MisterVicePresident]

I always questioned why Geralt uses a silver sword against the Wild Hunt and Gryphons, but I guess a lot of monsters like necrophages could have the argument made about them that their origins lie in magic, and if silver is anti-magic or something it might make sense. Gryphons are classified as hybrids so maybe their origins lie in magical breeding, and the wild hunt has arguably been enhanced by magic (otherwise they'd just be normal elves). Yet vampires don't really seem magical in that sense though, just from a different world.

[@Spartacus114]

Serious answer: because in the game you fight the wild hunt elves along with their hounds, which would certainly be weaker to silver. So to keep you from having to constantly switch back and forth they just made wild hunt vulnerable to silver

[@HaragothNAR]

[@luke342w]

The Griffin witcher in Toussaint is also referred to as a surprisingly sociable, friendly guy. In my mind, I drew some parallels with the vampiers, in regards to how different witcher schools prefer to react in regards to socializing with "normal" people: - Griffin witchers are like Regis and, like him, break almost all stereotypes about them; they're fair, friendly, truthful and sociable - Bear witchers are like Orianna(just without her abuse of kids for blood); they are somewhat sociable and friendly, but they're secretive - Wolven witchers are like Dettlaff, when he is calm; generally hold more to themselves and are very direct, but also fair and truthful - Cat witchers are like the Unseen Elder(sans his immense power and abilities); they're extremely solitary, very aggressive and very quick - Manticore witchers are like the Novigrad vampire; very prone to internalized self-hatred and (as a result, maybe?) to religious nonesense(and religious extremism, I guess)

[@biolaregeek6194]

You said that you didn't know where the Griffin witcher school was located but wandering around in the game I came across a castle in the far south of Velen near the Crossroads. It has a marker called The Last Bastion. The majority of the castle is buried underground but to me it resembles Kaer Morhen. Seems to me to make sense to have a witcher school in the north (Kaer Morhen), and one in to the west in Velen (Last Bastion). Then maybe the cat was in the South near Toussaint? I haven't read the books yet so could be just a castle that suffered in a war in one of the books but I like to think it's a witcher school.

[@bikusad9226]

Bioware Geek the Viper is in the South in Nilfgaard and the Manticore is in the southeast in Zerrikania. The bear is probably skellige. The cat is an exception, because it's an offshoot of wolf (aborted mutated wolf students). I checked out that place and you could be right re griffin.

[@shadowwright3232]

The lighthouse plot is from a classic novel titled 'Jamaica Inn'. The bit about silver; Silver has been long known to be a metal that cleanses evil probably in part because of it's actual anti-biotic and anti-fungal properties. People who do not have a good understanding of what disease is or alloy allergies will come up with a 'just so' story to explain why something works. In Myth and Folklore, silver has long been associated with wounding creatures of ill intent and/or tainted by evil. The Wild Hunt has a reputation for being 'unseelie' (unholy). 'Seelie' elves may not have been willing to indulge in certain practices that their 'unseelie' counterparts would (like wanting to hold Ciri hostage for the remainder of her days after lying to her that they would release her after she had become pregnant by one of their number) , which could explain the Wild Hunt's vulnerability to silver over other elves. The Wild Hunt in mythology is oftentimes led by Oberon, King of the 'unseelie' court, and they hunt humans for sport.

[@WitcherGeorge]

Ah good point about the anti-fungal properties, I actually own a pair of socks that use silver as a way to prevent athletes foot etc. But I think that putting if you put too much thought into it, it doesn't really make a lot of sense, I think the best thing to do, is just accept that silver works in the way it does, because the plot requires it to.

[@petezombie3060]

In regards to Witcher's not hunting dragons, an interesting thought. The image of Witcher George fighting a dragon, the image looks more like a basilisk than a genuine dragon. Basilisks referred to as lesser dragons, not "proper dragons". Perhaps the story is referring to Witcher George fighting a Draconid, which a Basilisk is a member of, and that basilisks are usually green.

[@cool06alt]

Hi George, do you know that there is new lore on witchers, particulary the favorite witcher school of Griffin. Just check the A witcher's Journal PNP rpg supplement. There is even good information regarding the period known as Golden Age of Witcher, it is basically the 2nd generation of witcher when the unified order of witcher collapse. The era is also coincidence with the incident between Lara Dorren (ciri ancestress) and the human mage that led to the elven-human conflict. What a fascinating game it would be if it set in this era!

You do more dmg at a gallop and you hardly ever get hit. I killed the cockatrice at crows perch at lvl 5 by doing that. The griffin school are 100% the most intelligent witchers lol. They wear proper armor, they fight intelligently, and they kill dragons lol

"Lambert, Lambert, what a prick." Love that little ditty.

[@WitcherGeorge]

Not bad

[@donlee_ohhh]

Great post. Thanks for doing these.

[@WitcherGeorge]

Glad you like it man!

[@l0tusb3rry]

About the monster series I'd love to learn more about giant centipedes or anarcno..idk, the gigant frealy lightging past spiders

[@zfuria8952]

of all the places i havent been in TW3 i actually have been to the light house and read the *journals or confessions of the wither gorge*

[@UrkkiTheMan]

Yeah, didn't have to read the notes. Just listened to this

[@thecakeisalie652]

It is hinted that Jerome Moreau was killed at the end of his fathers experiments. The audio crystal hinted that the father said sth like: I cant save my son, he was dead when he got mutated as a child to become a wittcher. I guess the cruel farther killed his son afterwards.

[@dchevron77]

Really enjoyed the schools series of videos!

[@WitcherGeorge]

Thank you man!

[@nanfredman1991]

Griffin: the perfect school for me! And thank you for all the (fannish) lore.

[@WitcherGeorge]

?

[@nanfredman1991]

I meant "fannish" in a good way, as in, "taking a lot of trouble to go in-depth and be thoughtful about something more casual players might pass over." Okay, I'll stop before I swallow my foot up to the knee.

[@johnmaxwell8279]

something thats worth mentioning ab how signs are handled and lore: I think other witchers shouldnt be allowed alternative sign casts since thats quote on quote being better magic skills, which are native to griffin school. why Geralt shud be allowed then? in the books (I think the forth book) when Geralt and Yen go to that ball thing on Thanedd Geralt was talkin to idk which sorceress who mentioned his magic capabilities and that he was more suited at least for the griffin school. also he has background since it was hinted his mother was a healer that visited him once in the books. dont see why other witchers wud be equal to him in that sense also dont remember alternative signs be used in the books so yeah. thats a wee bit controversial I agree

[@WitcherGeorge]

Helitrop was one I think

[@hitrapperandartistdababy]

Im pretty sure you can see Geromes Body in some kind of aparatus in the fathers workshop

[@lanzpat0725]

we should have a witcher school that specializes in all of the school, like have their guild like "The elite witcher" or something like that.

[@micktompson101]

Amazing video is everything I was waiting for

[@WitcherGeorge]

Michael Kazmierczak thanks mate

[@xj770HUN]

Griffin school for the win!

[@orkooskar]

Great video but I feel one correction is in order. The tapestry depicting George in Kaer Morhen is showing him fighting a cockatrice, not the dragon he is most famed for.

[@WitcherGeorge]

Ah thanks man!

[@williamthev919]

at 13:46 I wouldn't have the gull to let that griffin get that close

[@JeremieCampeau33]

Could be cool to see a witcher game where you created your own witcher and choose the school where your character his from

[@99Pierogies]

id say the griffen school is in or near Toussaint. the more noble attitude, knowing that one of the griffin witchers is from there. makes sense i think

[@Apollo890]

The School of the Griffin's base is Kaer Seren which is located in the Dragon mountains between Kovir and Poviss. Until mages destroyed it with an avalanche so they could steal the school's magic texts.

[@Eagle9725]

Wow, 3K subscribers?! Nice work!

[@FoxBullet]

I understand that Witchers only use one handed weapons so they ca use Signs with their free hand...but what if the Griffins discovered how to dual-cast/combine Signs? As in, making a SERIES of hand gestures or two simultaneously to combine Sign powers? A Yrden that unleashes an Aard pulse, or combining Aard and Igni into a more powerful flame?

[@malakaispears6461]

I thought the story about the painting of the Witcher George was he lost his silver sword and had to slay the dragon with his steel sword.
