Falka was an quarter-elf and an outcast princess of Redania.
Biography[]
Falka's Rebellion[]
After her father, King Vridank, spurned her half-elf mother, Falka gathered a group of followers to foment a bloody uprising to take the Redanian throne by force, as she viewed as her rightful inheritance. During her uprising, she committed a number of crimes, including buring the city of Mirt and killed the mages who were there. She also had both of Stregobor's hands cut off. However, her uprising eventually failed as she was captured and sentenced to death at the stake.
Even after her death, she left behind a controversial legacy. Some viewed her plight as little more than proof of elves' malice and their intent on revenge, while others as Istredd, saw it as girl abandoned by her family and was only trying to recover what rightfully belonged to her.
Persuading Ciri[]
Many years later, she appeared as a vision to Ciri as the young girl wandered through the Korath desert. Falka remarks how both of them have many similarities: both are princesses, deprived of their rightful inheritance, but with the power to change something. Falka created a whole scenario, to do what she wanted and she wants Ciri to do the same. She encouraged her to draw magical power from fire to heal the unicorn. She also urged Ciri to become one with the fire and take what is rightfully hers, but Ciri, realizing this would mean the death of her loves, refuses and relinquishes her magical powers.
