Aen Elle

Lore & Background

The only specific detail offered regarding their nature is that they inhabit a separate reality accessible via unstable portals created by Ciri after the Thanedd coup.

In Their Own Story

Ciri's time with the Aen Elle began after she fled the Korath desert and joined the gang known as the Rats. Following her capture by Leo Bonhart and subsequent escape, she found herself in the world of the Aen Elle. The central conflict during this period was not a battle of swords, but a struggle for bodily autonomy; the source states she was going to be forced to procreate with the King. The narrative confirms that Ciri successfully avoided this forced union. Following her escape from the Aen Elle realm and further time travel, she was reunited with Geralt and Yennefer.

Reader's Guide

The text confirms their world is a destination reached via unstable portals.

Did You Know?

• Ciri arrives in the Aen Elle world via the Tower of the Swallow (Tor Zireael) and is immediately captured by the Aen Elle—she does not flee there after escaping Bonhart and the Rats' hideout.
• The Aen Elle's plan was for Ciri to mate with the King of the Wild Hunt, Eredin, not Avallac'h, though Avallac'h was involved in the scheme.
• Ciri escapes the Aen Elle realm by using her powers to travel directly through time and space to the battle at Stygga Castle, where she reunites with Geralt and Yennefer—not after a separate time-travel journey.
