Is Ciri sterile?

Answered by Frank Schwing

To answer the question of whether Ciri is sterile or not, we need to consider the information provided in the Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski. In the books, it is made clear that Ciri did not undergo the witcher mutations, which were necessary for male witchers to become sterile. However, the books do not explicitly state whether Ciri is fertile or not.

While Ciri’s fertility is not directly addressed in the books, there are some clues that suggest she is indeed capable of bearing children. One of the most significant pieces of evidence is the fact that Emhyr var Emreis, the ruler of Nilfgaard and Ciri’s biological father, made her his heir and intended her to become Empress of Nilfgaard. This decision implies that Ciri is capable of continuing the royal bloodline and producing heirs to the throne.

Furthermore, it is worth noting that Ciri’s relationship with Geralt of Rivia, her adoptive father figure, is portrayed as a strong emotional bond. In the books, Geralt frequently refers to Ciri as his “destiny” and shows a deep sense of protectiveness towards her. This suggests that the possibility of Ciri having children and creating a family is an important aspect of her character arc.

It is important to remember that the Witcher series is a work of fiction, and the author deliberately leaves some elements open to interpretation. While the evidence suggests that Ciri is not sterile, it is ultimately up to the reader to draw their own conclusions based on the available information.

Although the books do not explicitly state whether Ciri is fertile or not, there are indications that she is capable of bearing children. The decision by Emhyr var Emreis to make Ciri his heir and the strong emotional bond between Ciri and Geralt suggest that her fertility is an important aspect of her character. Ultimately, the question of Ciri’s fertility may be left open to interpretation by the reader.
