Usurper's Bane Campaign Wiki


Vatt’ghern, also known as Witchers, are humans who have undergone extensive physical and mental conditioning and mysterious alchemical mutations.

The Transformation

The centerpiece of becoming a Vatt’ghern is the Trial of the Grasses, a dangerous procedure involving the ingestion of specialized mutagens. Those who survive emerge with inhuman strength, reflexes, and senses. In the Usurper’s Bane campaign, these mutations are often “Abyssal-stained,” drawing power from the dark magic of the Great Raven.

Characteristics

  • Yellow Slitted Eyes: A hallmark of their predatory nature, granting superior vision in darkness.
  • Predatory Grace: Unnatural speed and coordination that turns swordfighting into a mathematical certainty.
  • Resistance: Enhanced resilience to poisons and toxins.

Notable Vatt’ghern

  • NeCola: The company’s lieutenant and most prominent Witcher.
  • Wilfried: An Ancestral Vatgern who continues his mission in spectral form.
