Description

This one was made as a present for a very special person and a great friend of mine. :)

Iorveth
 (Iorweth in the original Polish) is an elf, a well-known hater of humans, responsible for burning many human villlages and civilian deaths, and was the commander of the last Scoia'tael commando to be broken during the second war with Nilfgaard. One of the elves under his command was Echel Traighlethan who was captured by the Redanian Secret Service and brought to Drakenborg to be hanged.

Developer comments[edit]

Comments about Iorveth from the CDPR developers Jan Bartkowicz (Story Writer), Artur Sliwinski, (Story Writer), Arkadiusz Borowik (Story Writer) and Jan Marek (Concept Artist) taken from the "Dev Diary 3":

The main hero who decided to lead the Scoia'tael elves is one: Iorveth. The elf Iorveth, who's leading a Scoia'tael unit, is, in my opinion, a cool example of how we approach classical fantasy archetypes. Here's an example of the classical elven archetype, found in fantasy, like in Tolkien's books. All elves are born beautiful, they are noble and usually have ornate, complicated armour. These sort of things. People are used to such stereotypes. We, however, have a world that somehow leaves it's stamp on characters. Including Iorveth, whose natural, innate beauty was taken away from him, who was terribly disfigured.

He's an elf fighting in guerrilla units. Actually, he doesn't have a legendary mithrill armour or something like that. He's got a donkey jacket he stole from someone, armour looted piece-by-piece from humans he killed…

I won't speak much of Iorveth - he was best described by Vernon Roche at the beginning of the game: "a simple son of a *****"
