The conjunction of the spheres and the multiverse of the sorcerer explained

Set primarily on a continent simply called The Continent, the world of The Witcher is full of magic and monsters – but that’s not how it started. It is attributed to an event long ago, a disaster commonly referred to as the conjunction of the spheres.

This concept is mentioned a lot throughout the series, especially in the final episodes of season 2. The effects of the conjunction are present in all parts of the world and will be the basis for the show to split off. The Witcher: Blood Origin. But it’s rarely explained in detail on the Netflix show, so here’s what you need to know about the conjunction of the spheres for The witcher Season 2.

What is the conjunction of the spheres?

The event is only vaguely understood by characters in the world of The Witcher. But the common belief is that all worlds (other spheres of existence) collided. and with them monsters and other beings hatched into the world. This is how magic – or “chaos” – came about and gave people the power to become magicians. Without the conjunction The witcher was perhaps a much more mundane world. The slow revelation that The Witcher is a fantasy tale about the effects of interdimensional travel is an adorable one.

It is this influx of monsters that eventually leads to the creation of the witchers and is certainly the catalyst for much of the story. (Where would we get our handsome monster slayers without them?) Each of these strange creatures is trapped in a world that is not their own. Some, like unicorns, can even move between dimensions at will.

But while the existence of the conjunction is something everyone can agree on, the events around it are still full of mystery. Nobody knows whether people came to the continent from another part of the world or whether they were brought into the world through the conjunction of the spheres.

The last witcher novel, The lady of the lake suggests that people have fled a world they had already ruined; Given their destructive nature, that’s not hard to imagine. The Elves, or Aen Seidhe, also seem to have got away with conjunction, and their civilization precedes the most ancient of human structures and cities. The continent’s dwarves and gnomes seem ahead of both them and humans.

Why the conjunction of the spheres is important

The “elven world”, which was hundreds of years earlier, is more than just the basis for The witcher Outsourcing in progress, Blood origin. While some beings slipped into the continent’s universe, some ventured into others. Some elves, the Aen Elle, left their world to be independent and undefeated. The Aen Elle see themselves as the true last bastion of their culture, untouched by human cruelty. They were able to move freely between the worlds before the cosmic shift of the conjunction, but after that they were isolated in one place.

But they still have some power. From these elves and their world comes the wild hunt, which appears on the continent as ghosts and ghosts and abducts people to serve them as they search for a way to enable their people to move en masse between the universes.

Traces of conjunction exist in the world of the Netflix show in the form of monoliths, impenetrable structures made of black stone that are considered channels for the energy that opened their world to others. The magician Istredd made them the focus of his studies, even going so far as to serve under Nilfgaard in order to gain access to them, but even he hardly seems to understand their meaning.

Istredd’s pursuit of knowledge brings some answers into play The witcher‘s second season, which explores more about how the monoliths work and what they could mean for the fate of the continent. It primarily focuses on Ciri’s connection with them and what kind of power she may be carrying.
