the hanza is so real though because they formed a whole team of heroes… like, heroes of legend, and yet, practically nobody gave a fuck. at least from their time. the most acknowledgement they ever got were people commenting how weird and strange their group was.
everyone either didn’t recognize them at all or was like who are these losers. even THEY were like who are us losers? no recognition, no titles, no statues, no plaques. and then they just become a little appendum footnote fun fact sidebar tangent marginalia related to the legend of the witcher girl ciri and the witcher geralt. that are only really remembered because one of them has a severe chronic condition called “being a writer” and decided to keep a gay little diary for posterity. otherwise? no one cares.
and no one knew! nimue had to literally send in her specialest soldier (aka recent graduate intern) to dream up what the hell these guys were doing because no one else cared enough before apparently to hire an oneiromancer
even they formed themselves, and immediately were like wow, we look stupid as fuck and everybody’s goong to laugh at us. they just completely accepted their mission was doomed from the start and they were probably all going to die. and then they did.
