 | No! I will not give in and I won't be swayed! I am the "Fourteenth of the Hill"! I am not a little frightened girl from a dark Maribor Tower anymore... |  | |
| - Triss Merigold | |||
Triss Merigold of Maribor is a sorceress and known as the "Fourteenth of the Hill" because she was erroneously thought to have been killed during the Battle of Sodden Hill. She is friends with Yennefer and the witcher Geralt of Rivia, but is also in love with the latter. Triss took care of Ciri at Kaer Morhen
for some time and is like an older sister to her. It was through her
intervention that Ciri was not inadvertently given harmful elixirs as
the witchers were planning on subjecting her to the Trial of the Grasses
as a last resort in an attempt to control Ciri's growing magical power.
This would have either killed Ciri or made her a mutant, meaning she
would become barren and unable to bear children like every other sterile
witcher. Triss was a member of King Foltest's royal council along with Fercart and Keira Metz, as well as a founding member of the Lodge of Sorceresses.
She is a skilled healer and carries with her many magical
potions, but she never uses them on herself because ironically, she is
allergic to potions. She is also quite a powerful mage, certainly when
it counts most. She wears an amulet - sapphire overlaid with silver.
