women of the witcher + queer hcs: pansexual carthia "cantarella" van canten

[slutty-credence]

All sex scenes are better if you do them with a flower crown. Censored because we know how tumblr is nowadays...

[crimsonherbarium]

Whilst drinking away some of her gold at Novigrad's most prestigious inn after a particularly lucrative job, Carthia van Canten finds herself unexpectedly tied up in unfinished business.

Alternately: Revenge is a dish best served cold, and paired with a glass of Nilfgaardian cherry cordial.

Cantarella

Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Cantarella

[herbaalba-art]

Cantarella was a poison that was rumored to have been used by the Borgias (among others). It was most probably a variation of arsenic or cantharidin powder (made from blister beetles, which were also used as an aphrodisiac).

Corruption

@cake-shop-rarepair-bingo

Prompt: Corruption

Challenge: Write for a pairing that has under 10 works + Write for a pairing that has no fic in English

Fandom: The Witcher (novels) Relationships:  Carthia van Canten/Vattier devRideaux  Rating: Explicit Content Warnings: No warnings apply Summary: One last time Carthia van Canten has to use her sexual talents to get what she wants from Vattier de Rideaux, the Head of Nilfgaardian Intelligence

Corruption, deception and deceit have been at the heart of almost everything she has done in the last couple of months, and she is thoroughly tired of it. Very interesting months at first, she has to admit, and worthwhile in every respect. Just a look at the elegant dressing table with the intricately carved ivory jewellery box confirms it beyond doubt. It is filled with precious rings, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, broaches and whatnot, all gifts from her rich lover. Still, she is more than glad that tonight will mark the end of her special assignment, be the very last time she will use her body to corrupt the man. When Assire var Anahid first approached her, she was not sure at all if she would be able to do it. However, seducing Vattier de Rideaux with her undeniable beauty and natural talent in sexual matters was almost laughably easy. How on the continent could the intelligent Head of Imperial Intelligence be so gullible? Even after months of her spying on the Nilfgaardian Spy Master, he is still convinced that his gorgeous, golden-haired Cantarella can barely count to three and has no understanding for nor any interest in anything he is telling her. Without fail, whenever the Viscount visits his mistress instead of going straight home to his wife after an important meeting - which happens quite frequently - he would unload all his worries and frustration onto her, tell her everything, from the Emperor's invasion plans and war strategies to the mess with the mysterious disappearance of Stefan Skellen and his entire unit. The poor trusting fool even brings his briefcase with top secret maps and documents to her place. How ridiculously simple it is for her to peruse the classified material while he is sleeping soundly after she has slowly, deftly and skilfully supplied him with sexual bliss. And all the while he has falsely assumed that his talented, young lover is not capable of reading maps or understanding any of the documents. Only because she is not older than eighteen and speaks little and seldom. The oaf probably supposes that she is not able to read at all. What a massive mistake to underestimate a beautiful woman. Men remain simple, Carthia van Canthen - also known as Cantarella - suspects.

world building cause twn doesn't pt. 2: nilfgaard!

pt. 1 on the northern realms here

okay i'm making this because 1 witcher netflix is the most convoluted and confusing thing i've ever seen and does literally no world building and 2 special interest make autism brain go brr.

about this series

this is gonna be a multi part series about the witcher universe but this is all about nilfgaard!

ciri's timeline in twn encompasses the entirety of the first northern war, beginning with the attack on cintra and ending with the battle at sodden

the show ended in 1264 when we saw geralt meet ciri

this is just covering the human portions of nilfgaard. i'll talk about elven allied groups like the scoiatael later.

colour code cause i fucking love colour codes - already happened/introduced, probably s2, important background info, stuff that might be in the prequel, extras

background

the witcher takes place on the continent, which is mainly divided between south and north

the north is a collection of many kingdoms while the south is basically just nilfgaard and its many territories, dependencies, provences, and vassal states.

some of these conquered areas include toussaint, vicovaro, nazair, and mettina

nilfgaard loves invading the north. a lot. like this is the driving force of most of the plot in the witcher.

basic info

nilfgaard an insanely powerful absolutist monarchy, ruled by an emperor who has a huge collection of talented mages, spies, commanders, and advisors

as of ciri's timeline in twn, the emperor is emhyr var emreis, or, to those on more intimate terms with him: the white flame dancing on the graves of his foes

[ID: middle aged white man with slicked back shoulder length greying black hair. he is wearing a black dress with a red and black embroidered shirt underneath. he is wearing a gold medallion around his neck, has black leather boots, and is holding a silver goblet. end ID]

emhyr is crazy important, both as a character and to the politics of the witcher. he's also a member of the house of emreis, which i'll go into detail on in a bit.

he is also a major walking spoiler, so i won't talk about him in the context of twn or the books

nilfgaard is divided between the "heart" of the empire, also known as lower alba or simply nilfgaard, and the conquered territories, dependencies, provinces, etc

for all of nilfgaard's imperialism, it does allow these areas to retain a lot of their original cultural identity, to the point where someone from vicovaro would not really consider themself nilfgaardian

this works out because nilfgaard would not consider a vicovarian nilfgaardian either

lower alba

lower alba is the home of "real" nilfgaardians, and is also where the capital city is located

theres a bit of racism and racial purity here: lower albans consider themselves superior to the rest of humans due to their elven ancestry

this elven ancestry is also why nilfgaard is far more sympathetic to nonhumans than the north and uses a language similar to hen llinge (elder speech)

there are a LOT of notable albans, so i'll just keep it to the important ones and my favourites: carthia van canten aka cantarella, morvran voorhis, stefan skellen, the house of emreis, and vattier de rideaux

the capital, known as the city of golden towers or simply nilfgaard, is home to the imperial palace, where the emperor spends most of his time

i say most because there is also a summer residence at loc grim palace

now that we know the basics of the core empire, let's visit the other territories!

toussaint

the duchy of toussaint is one of the most important nilfgaardian states, and definitely the most beautiful. it's main economy is in wine

toussaint actually has no secret service or military, something quite rare on the continent. it does however, have a large system of knights errant that love chivalry

the capital is beauclaire, which is where the duke/duchess live

as of twn, its ruler is the duchess anna henrietta. i'll let you all make your own assumptions about the lovely annarietta

also for some reason in toussaint, people have 2 names that are smushed together. so anna henrietta becomes annarietta, sylvia anna becomes syanna, carolina roberta becomes caroberta etc

annarietta is also distantly related to emhyr, her great grandfather is the half brother of emhyr's father

the most notable toussaintois are the mages fringilla and artorius vigo

here's fringilla in twn. [ID: young black woman in a long sleeve grey-blue cloak. her hair is pulled back and she is looking slightly up and to the right with a blank expression. end ID]

vicovaro

"THERE ONCE WAS A MAID FROM VICOVARO..."

okay vicovaro is vassal state near the southernmost part of the empire, but we know it more for the people from it than what it actually is

there is an actual ruler, but the state is largely controlled by two key houses: the var anahid family and the dyffryn family

the capital is vicovaro, but the houses have their own land. we don't really hear about the var anahids, but the dyffyn house controls dyffra

notable vicovarians include assire var anahid and cahir mawr dyffryn aep ceallach. cahir in twn is right there.

[ID: young white man in black armour. he has an angular face and brown slicked back hair. he is scowling]

mettina

okay mettina is a bit confusing since it is the shared name for three different places. the first is the administrative unit mettina, which includes the provence mettina (2) and the provence maecht. in the provence there is also the capital city mettina (3).

tor lara aka the tower of the swallow is in mettina, and not much else tbh

maecht was the home of duny (that little man) for an unspecified number of years

[ID: young white man with dark curly hair. his face is dirty and sweaty and he is frowning slightly]

"wait! i thought duny was the urcheon of erlenwald, and that's in cintra!" don't... don't think too hard about duny. he lived in mettina for a while and took a trip to cintra where he met pavetta.

ebbing

for all intents and purposes, ebbing is an autonomous state, although nilfgaardians do have a hand on the wheel

includes salm, a technically sovereign provence, but is de facto dependent on ebbing

ebbing is most notably home to stygga castle, the one time fortress for the school of the cat, and bounty hunter leo bonhart

also, roegner of ebbing, pavetta's father, is from here

nazair

nazair is kinda the least important of the more important nilfgaardian dependencies

it was independent for a while but was conquered by cintra under queen calanthe and then nilfgaard under emperor emhyr

its main industries are cinnabrite and silver, both luxury goods

the only mildly important nazairi is becca of nazair, ciri's 6 times great grandmother

other minor areas

alba, toussaint, ebbing, and vicovaro are really the only important nilfgaardian areas, although mettina and nazair are mentioned quite a bit. borders change a lot, especially with an imperialist power, but this is the general list of nilfgaardian areas as of the first northern war

regions - daerlan (notable for military), eiddon (owned and ruled by alban spy vattier de rideaux), liddertall, magne, rowan, ruach, slopes (home to haern caduch, the bear school fortress), tarnhann, winneburg, and ymlac

provences - angren provence (contains dol angra, a profitable trade route), cintra (1264-1268), etolia, gemmera, geso, mag turga, mettina (contains kingdoms mettina and maecht), and nazair

vassals - cintra (after 1268), ebbing, toussaint, and vicovaro

tl;dr: the most important part of nilfgaard is lower alba, which is surrounded by many dependencies including toussaint, vicovaro, nazair, and mettina.

thank you for reading! i'm definitely gonna make more parts and will link them here when i do!
