Chireadan


 * see also Chireadan (witcher) for the character from the movie and TV series.

Chireadan is an elf from the Redanian city of Rinde, a tavern owner, and a cousin of Errdil. He was in love with Yennefer and a witness to Yennefer's fight with the Djinn in Rinde ("The Last Wish"). This later infamous fight was actually the ruin of Errdil's tavern. His love for Yennefer is considered unusual as elves do not normally consider human females as attractive as their elven counterparts. He was also counted among the guests at Geralt and Yennefer's wedding in Coś się kończy, coś się zaczyna (Something ends, Something begins), so obviously he managed to deal with his feelings.

In Chapter IV, at the Lakeside, Chireadan, an elf among Toruviel's ragtag group recognizes Geralt. It seems he knows the witcher from somewhere before, but of course Geralt has no memory of him. This previous encounter, which is not described in any further detail, is a reference to the "The Last Wish".

He is also a sharper, and thus one of the available dice players. He can be found any time, day or night to play. During the day, he is typically sitting at one of the two campfires nearest the Elven Cave. At night, he will be sleeping in the cave, but does not complain at all about being woken up just for a game.
