Quick Answers
What is the significance of Lara Dorren's relationship with Cregennan of Lod?
Lara Dorren, an elven sage, and Cregennan of Lod, a human mage, share a tragic love story that is significant in the Witcher universe. Their relationship was one of the first unions between the two races, elves and humans, and is often depicted as a tale of legendary lovers. However, their love story ended in tragedy when Cregennan was murdered by humans, an event that led to much treachery and scheming, and is often cited as the root of the hostility that exists today between the two races. Their daughter, Riannon, was adopted by the queen of Redania, making them ancestors of the character Ciri.

What happened to Lara Dorren's daughter after her death?
After Lara Dorren's death, her daughter Riannon was miraculously spared. She was rescued and adopted by Cerro, the Queen of Redania. Despite being the product of a unique relationship, Riannon's beauty and grace, coupled with the title and dowry of a princess of a powerful kingdom like Redania, made her highly sought after by suitors. Riannon later took in and raised Falka's daughter, neutralizing Lara Dorren's curse. Unfortunately, Riannon died young, at the age of thirty-five, due to grief, distress, and great sadness, likely related to the near-simultaneous death of two of her children, Amavet and Adela.

What is the controversy surrounding the union of Lara Dorren and Cregennan of Lod?
The union of Lara Dorren, an elven sorceress, and Cregennan of Lod, a human wizard, was a source of great controversy for both their races. Their love story is often portrayed as a tragic tale of legendary lovers who formed the first union between humans and elves. However, their relationship was not well-received by their respective communities. Some elves, jealous of Lara's attention towards a human, treacherously killed Cregennan. This event sparked much hostility and tension between the two races, which continues to exist today. After Cregennan's death, Lara gave birth to their daughter but died soon after, leaving their child an orphan. This tragic story further fuels the controversy surrounding their union.

What is the connection between Lara Dorren and the character Falka in The Witcher series?
In The Witcher series, Lara Dorren and Falka are connected through their descendants. It is suggested that Fiona, who was initially believed to be Falka's daughter, might actually be a descendant of Lara Dorren. This implies that Lara Dorren's bloodline, which is of great significance due to her Elder Blood, could have been passed down to Falka's lineage. However, the exact relationship between Lara Dorren and Falka is not explicitly stated.
