Scoia'tael



Scoia'tael - non-human guerilla also known as the Squirrels. They fought against all humans in the Northern Kingdoms, because of racism and discrimination of non-humans. Most of the Squirrels were elves, but some of them were halflings and dwarves. Scoia'tael were divided into commandos comprised of several or a dozen fighters. Bigger commandos were rare and formed only during battles or for special tasks (e.g. during the Thanedd Coup. The best known formation was the Vrihedd Brigade, commanded by Isengrim Faoiltiarna, which used silver lightnings as its symbol. Scoia'tael were allied with Nilfgaard and used by Emperor Emhyr var Emreis for diversion, as well as support for the Nilfgaard army. Scoia'tael could be recognized by squirrel tails attached to their caps or other parts of clothing. In exchange for their support, Emperor Emhyr var Emreis gave the elves Dol Blathanna as their own, independent state, and made Enid an Gleanna its queen.

 * Zoltan Chivay is in the Outskirts in order to meet a Scoia'tael friend of his by the name of Hoog. It's possible that Haren Brogg sold him out to the guards, though.
