for years, fans have speculated about teh exact age of Geralt of Rivia, the iconic monster hunter from Andrzej Sapkowski‘s the Witcher series. while it was known that he possessed a somewhat extended lifespan due to his Witcher mutations, the exact number remained shrouded in mystery. That is, until the release of sapkowski’s latest Witcher novel, Crossroads of the Crows.
This new installment offers a definitive answer to Geralt’s age,revealing his birth year and placing him at 18 years old during the events of Crossroads of the Crows,which takes place in 1229. This means that by the conclusion of the book series in 1268, Geralt is only 57 years old.
His age is surprisingly youthful compared to some commonly held beliefs. In fact, he is only a few years older than Queen Calanthe and was around 40 years old when Ciri was born.
Comparing Canons
Interestingly, Geralt’s age differs significantly across various Witcher adaptations. The Netflix series, as a notable example, portrays him as considerably older. according to their timeline[[[[[[[[1], geralt was born in 1160, making him 106 years old by the end of Season 3.
Moreover, the show depicts Yennefer as younger than Geralt, contrasting with the books where she was born in 1174. Even CD Projekt Red’s popular video game, The Witcher 3, presents a slightly different picture. In the game’s early hours, Vesemir mentions that Geralt is “nearly a century old,” with the narrative set in 1272.
It appears that the canon age established in Sapkowski’s novels places Geralt firmly within the realm of middle-aged, debunking the notion of him being an impossibly ancient Witcher.
