Featured Welsh Content
Like other games in the series, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt features many Welsh culture and language references.
Elven Speech is largely influenced by Cymraeg, with location names including Kaer Morhen, Gwenllech, and Kaedwen referencing the Welsh language.
The sword known as Teigr comes from the Welsh word for “tiger”.
Main character Geralt’s nickname, “Gwynbleidd”, has clear Welsh inspirations, meaning “White Wolf”. Although this would read incorrectly in Cymraeg, the influence is clear.
Characters such as Cerys an Craite, Cahir Mawr Dyffryn aep Ceallach, Mairwen Rhosyn, and Cledwyn make use of Welsh names and reference Welsh naming conventions.
Some characters are voiced with distinct Welsh accents, including the Crones, the witches of Crookback Bog.
The character Ewald Borsodi is voiced by Welsh actor Matthew Gravelle.
