Aen Elle
The elven world where Ciri was imprisoned and nearly forced to bear a child to its king.
The Aen Elle are elves who live in a world of their own, to which Ciri portalled through the events of The Tower of the Swallow. In The Tower of the Swallow, Ciri is lured to the tower, which leads to her imprisonment in the world belonging to the Aen Elle. There, an attempt is made to force her to have a child with the king of the Aen Elle in order to harness her powers, although she is able to avoid this. Ciri escapes with the help of unicorns, but not before learning that elves have massacred humans on the Aen Elle world; after traveling through time, she is reunited with Geralt and Yennefer.
