The School of the Crane is a witcher school established after the Second Conjunction, somewhere in the lands of Eastern Coast of the Western Continent or the adjacent seas.
Characteristics[]
Skilled in both swords and early guns, the Cranes prove to be the best remedy to monsters of the air and the sea which can be encountered on long routes between Cherdian and Novigrad.
While expecting to fight a sea monster, a witcher of this School prepares a long rope, one end of which they binds to the mast of a vessel and the other to a close-fitting protective suit covering their whole body except for hands, feet and the head. When not expecting to fight such, they prefer to wear no significant armor, just belts for swords and guns.[1]
Notes[]
Crane School Putnam by Yama Orce
- The school first appeared in Volodymyr Arenev's short story Wesoły, niewinny i bez serca ("Cheerfull, Innocent, and Heartless") for Tales from the world of The Witcher, a Witcher short-story collection by Ukrainian and Russian writers. It was later mentioned in The Witcher: Old World as an easter-egg.
- While the School doesn't belong to CD PROJEKT RED's The Witcher franchise as of this moment (the Old World appearance was an easter-egg), CD PROJEKT RED's lead concept artist Yamandu Orce, in consultation with other developers, has drawn an art of Witcher190/Piemsito's fan character Putnam Pitch, the School's fanfic founder. This doesn't mean that the character is canon (the artwork was commissioned) but the drawing itself is probably the closest to how CDPR would imagine the School's equipment.
