Geralt's company

"Do you really wish to know?" — Spoilers from the books and/or adaptations to follow!

Geralt's hansa (or “party”) consisted of Dandelion, Milva, Cahir, Regis and Angoulême .

It was declared in Riverdell, as a symbol of its members' commitment to the cause of finding and rescuing Ciri. Whereas up to this moment the companions considered themselves or each other more or less a rag-tag group of free agents, from this point on they became a unit, a singular entity with a common goal, supporting and depending on each other, under Geralt's leadership.

Dandelion left the hansa when choosing to stay in Beauclair with his beloved Anarietta, claiming to have found his ideal.

The rest of the party, with the exception of Geralt (and Dandelion), died during the assault on Stygga castle.

Trivia

• Each of Hansa'a members had their own purpose to follow Geralt:
  • Milva wanted to deal with her regrets, she felt she had neglected her unborn child.
  • Cahir fell in love with Ciri and hence wanted her safety.
  • Angoulême wanted to pay off her debt of honour.

• Cahir explains that the word Hansa (or Hassa) derives from the Nilfgaardian phrase "aen hanse" meaning "gang"
