Journal Entry

 * This town in the North of Aedirn was founded by dwarves who established mines in the surrounding hills. As was their custom, they carved their homes and community edifices directly into rock formations, granting Vergen a unique architectural style. The town was an important trade center, one of the roads through it leading into the country's interior. Humans had also attempted to settle in the area, but the disturbances that plagued Pontar Valley left most of their villages burned and in ruins. Nevertheless, when we arrived in Vergen it was teeming with humans in addition to its mainly dwarven population. Saskia's peasant rebels and a group of Aedirnian nobles had made camp there and promptly begun to measure each other with menacing glares. Meanwhile, all the groups that had assembled in the area were mistrustful of Iorweth's Scoia'tael, who strove to keep to themselves with unmistakably elven aloofness. Truly, if not for Henselt's army making camp nearby, the whole rabble would have been at each other's throats in no time.


 * If Geralt chooses Roche's path during the end of chapter I:


 * Despite the defender's unparalleled valor, the hastily recruited units of peasant militia, poor knights and Scoia'tael partisans could not stand against the hard won experience of the Kaedweni veterans. Vergen fell after a heroic defense, though the victory cost the attackers dearly.


 * If Geralt chooses Iorveth's path during the end of chapter I:


 * Units of peasant militia, poor knights and seasoned dwarves fought heroically side by side, forcing the Kaedweni veterans to pay for every inch of ground with blood, yet the conclusion of the conflict seemed foregone. However, Iorveth brought Scoia'tael reinforcements just in time to turn the tide of the battle. Vergen won its independence with courage, steel, and the blood of the fallen.
