Toruviel was an elf and one of Filavandrel's subjects.

Biography[]

Capturing a witcher[]

Toruviel helped restrain Geralt of Rivia and Jaskier after they were apprehended in the mountains trying to force Torque into leaving. Restrained and defenseless, Toruviel repeatedly struck Geralt and Jaskier. Geralt waited until she got close enough, and he headbutted her, causing her to fall back and devolve into a coughing fit due to her illness. They were then joined by Torque and the king of the elves, Filavandrel. Torque had been stealing goods, such as medicine for Toruviel, for them ever since they were forced out of Dol Blathanna. This came as a surprise to Jaskier, who had been under the impression that the elves willingly left to return to their "golden palaces," when in reality they retreated to simple caves. Unfortunately, they couldn't allow Geralt and Jaskier to leave in fear that Posada would learn that they had been stealing, causing the humans to attack, which would undoubtedly result in casualties on both sides. So, to avoid war, Filavandrel insisted he must kill them. Geralt advised them to rebuild elsewhere and grow in numbers, and Toruviel added up that a new generation of elves who wish to fight had arisen. She told Filavandrel that she'd rather bring war to the humans than live cowering from them, and so Filavandrel took her and Torque's advice and decided to let Geralt and Jaskier go.[1]
