Law of surprise12/31/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() However, one of the suitors managed to stab Duny and Pavetta's sorcerous abilities suddenly broke loose, sending furniture and people flying and threatening to collapse the castle itself.Īfter Geralt and Mousesack silenced Pavetta, Duny, now presenting himself as Prince of Maecht and a son of Akerspaark, regained human form as it had struck midnight. This caused an uproar and the queen's vassals and the would-be suitors tried to attack Duny, with Geralt and Mousesack trying to protect Duny. After a long and heated exchange, Duny was fooled by Calanthe into removing his helmet before midnight, exposing his monstrous form, yet Pavetta stated her approval of Duny nonetheless. Although Princess Pavetta was expected to be married off when she was 15, Duny had already started seeing her a year before and they secretly fell in love so when the queen hosted a feast for Pavetta's birthday, he took the opportunity and announced that from her birth, the princess had belonged to him, and that he had now come for her.ĭuny then declared that Pavetta was to be his through the Law of Surprise he'd enacted when he rescued Calanthe's deceased husband, the former King Roegner. In 1237, while prowling Cintra's forest region, he ran into a wounded and helpless King Roegner and after saving him invoked the Law of Surprise.ġ5 years later, he presented himself before Calanthe during Pavetta's 15th birthday and the princess' would-be suitors in Cintra. Journey to Cintra Īfter some time, Emhyr finally arrived in the North and used the moniker " Duny, Urcheon of Erlenwald". He met with an astrologer Xarthisius who led him to the North, "beyond the Marnadal Steps", to look for a cure for his curse. In his escape, Emhyr counted on a few loyal acquaintances for help while hiding at Ardal aep Dahy's place. Despite this, Emhyr survived and learned the sorcerer hadn't even done a thorough job on the curse: every night Emhyr regained his human form. Having no more use for Emhyr, he was then released into the woods with dogs set on him. This served as a way to break Fergus and force him to grant legitimacy to the coup, though the plan failed and the Usurper killed Emhyr's father. He was publicly favorable to the Elder Races, in stark contrast to monarchs of the North.Īt the age of 13, Emhyr's father Fergus var Emreis, the emperor of Nilfgaard at the time, was deposed from his title, imprisoned and tortured after a coup led by an influential aristocrat only known as the Usurper.Ī sorcerer named Braathens, under the service of the Usurper, turned Emhyr into a humanoid hedgehog form, partially as a joke, as the word "Eimyr" in Nilfgaardian dialect meant "urcheon", an old name for a hedgehog. ![]() He was ruthless toward traitors and moved towards his goals with great determination. He chose his people well and crushed many plots against him. Emhyr var Emreis was an intelligent and brilliant ruler. This led to the outbreak of two wars against the Northern Kingdoms, both of which he lost. His rule of Nilfgaard was highly aggressive, often pursuing expansionist policies similar to those of his predecessors. He also became the King of Cintra after marrying a false Cirilla in 1268.
