The Nithing

In Skellige Geralt met a desperate and broken man named Lothar. Someone had cast a powerful curse on his son, causing him to slip closer and closer towards the grave with each passing day. The witcher knew he had to lift the curse before it was too late.

The witcher discovered the curse had been cast by the local herbalist, Jonna, with whom Lothar had once shared his bed. Once again it was proven - something which I, dear reader, know all too well - that man knows no greater enemy than a woman scorned. Geralt was able to save the man's son, but the spell demanded a victim. The disease moved to Jonna, dragging her into a painful and premature death.

Geralt managed to convince Lothar to return to his one-time love. He had to abandon his beloved son, but in doing so he saved the boy's life.
