Faith Symbolized

Faith Symbolized is a quest from Chapter 1 in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

Journal Entry
Our hero was searching for items representing the virtues and horrors of war. They were necessary to lift the curse that forced the wraiths of soldiers, killed in battle between Kaedwen and Aedirn, to fight an eternal battle against each other and the living who strayed onto the haunted battlefield. Talking to Zyvik, Geralt learned that a priest, carrying a miraculous medallion, took part in the battle. This item protected the holy man from the rain of fire and, doubtlessly, had supernatural properties, which could have been the symbol of faith sought by the Witcher. The medallion now belonged to Henselt and Geralt decided to approach the issue diplomatically. He knew that if he angered the King he could kiss the medallion goodbye. The diplomatic way led through Dethmold.

Unfortunately, Dethmold was not willing to help the Witcher aquire the medallion. He thought Geralt would do his best to demonstrate his prowess by lifting the curse placed personally on Henselt. He was probably right - the sorceror understood that the grateful King would part with his amulet without grumbling.

The Witcher finally managed to lift the curse from the King. He almost got the medallion from Henselt when kingslayers appeared. The assassination attempt spoiled the capricious monarch's mood and the medallion was once more out of our hero's reach. While the would-be murderers were at large, the Witcher had no hope of aquiring it.
