Geralt consults with a lawyer, Codhringer, trying to discover the identity of the unknown mage trying to capture Ciri. At the same time, Yennefer takes Ciri from the Temple in Ellander to Gors Velen. Yennefer plans to enroll Ciri at the Aretuza school of magic on Thanedd Island, while attending a conference of mages there. While Yennefer is talking business with a dwarven banker in Gors Velen, she allows Ciri a day out to see the city, escorted by one of the banker's young employees. While viewing an exotic menagerie, Ciri inadvertently provokes a disturbance, and uses a magic amulet Yennefer gave to her in case of emergency. Doing so draws the attention of the mages Tissaia de Vries and Margarita Laux-Antille, the former and current (respectively) headmistresses of Aretuza, out hunting for truant students temporarily evicted from their quarters to make room for the visiting mages. Yennefer of Vengerberg (Polish: Yennefer z Vengerbergu) first appeared in the collection of short stories, The Last Wish, featuring in the short story of the same name. She is a powerful sorceress, is a mother figure to Ciri, and becomes Geralt's lover. As an avid reader of fantasy, Sapkowski said he was sometimes bored and disgusted with stories in which the hero could easily have sex with any woman he wished, so he created Yennefer to "complicate things a little" as a woman character who refuses to be a fantasy cliché. [14] In the Polish 2002 film and 2002 TV series, she was played by Grażyna Wolszczak and by Anya Chalotra in the Netflix series. The series was suddenly plagued by an onslaught of Murderously Superfluous Blah-Blah-Blah-ing (MSBBB™) so ferocious I momentarily thought I'd been reincarnated as a sleeping pill.
