Talk:Triss Merigold/@comment-85.29.117.128-20180810144032

Triss Merigold is in fact dead and Lytta Neyd is alive.

In the battle of Sodden Hill the two were so badly burned that they could not be identified. Lytta Neyd was then restored with Triss Merigold's appearance.

The real Triss Merigold never appeared anywhere in the Witcher series.

Clues:

1. At the end of the second book, when Geralt is visiting the Obelisk, his thoughts about Triss says that they only liked each other. But in the beginning of the third book, Blood of Elves, when the sorceress arrives at Kaer Morhen she is clearly thinking the time when she seduced him. This sorceress is Coral and this seducing refers to Season of Storms book.

2. In the sixth book, Tower of Swallows, after Yennefer disappeared from Skellige, the sorceress comes looking for her. There is small piece of text where Crach mentions that "her lips are like coral"

3. Witcher 3 had several clues:

a) If you ask "Triss" to stay in Novigrad, she'll comeback and takes Geralt to watch ships. Coral and Geralt watched the ships in the book too.

b) hydromacy: in the book Coral used it to track Geralts stolen swords and in the game she uses it to track Philippa

c) the compressed figurines: after uncompressing the nobleman, "Triss" mentions that Corals taste has gone worse after sleeping with the nobleman. This refers to her romance with Lambert

4. From the Witcher 2:Assassin of the Kings, first chapter we learn that tattoo removal is alchemical mixture. In the book Blood of Elves after the trio leaves Kaer Morhen, the sorceress suddenly becomes extremely ill. This is mostlikely because she removed the tattoo.

5. And the most obvious... The hair and eye color change... CD Projekt Red didn't butcher any canon when making the games. Its just Corals natural colors.

I recently made youtube video about this, username Raudo Testoman. Im sure you can look it up.
