I break my silence.
Soooo what would be the role of the lodge in the witcher 4 ?
What we know (general)
1) the lodge will have amnesty in Nilfgaard.
2) Ehmyr hates mages (distrust) and have a very strong policy against them.
Philippa :
1) has a plan (of course).
2) knows how Emhyr feels about mages.
3) probably will try to get rid of him .
4) wants to reform the lodge (new sorceresses ?)
5) will certainly try to reach Ciri again .
What could've been :
1) cut content from the witcher 3 : Yennefer betrays the lodge and Nilfgaard plans to execute them -> will it happens in the witcher 4 ? Will Yennefer really betrays Margarita (who did nothing wrong) ? And will Philippa be stupid enough to fall into a such obvious plan ? I really don't think so but who knows ? I mean they did killed Assire in a stupid way (sleep well little angel, we miss you). I'm scared.
What could happen :
1) Nilfgaard will continue its expansion and Kovir will feel threaten by it (although it is neutral in terms of geopolitic).
2) Ciri is in Kovir : she will be involved and will have to follow a path she dislikes.
3) If Triss is in Kovir with the mages, she could form a kind of resistance against Nilfgaard.
4) This mages resistance could reach the lodge and they could try to take down Nilfgaard from both the inside and the outside.
5) one of the dilemma could be : Nilfgaard or the Lodge ruling the Continent ?
6) The Lodge defends the interest of magic before everything, it could lead non magical people discrimination.
Something that intigues me/I have no idea what it could mean :
1) Philippa seems interested by the Sun Stone : why ? The Sun Stone is known to be a sort of portal between the world of the Wild Hunt and the Continent : what would be her interest ?
What could be interesting but won't happen [probably] :
1) Philippa, Rita and Fringilla being trapped in Nilfgaard, trying to reach Kovir with a full quest in which we see them struggling : i would love to see more vulnerable/human moments with Philippa.
2) the reunion between Cynthia and Philippa : she spied her and tricked her by sleeping with her in the witcher 2 -> their reunion would be INTENSE. I can imagine Emhyr saying "Lady Eilhart, I guess i do not need to introduce you to Cynthia" and Philippa struggling to not be vulgar in anyway : "indeed." (Translation : THIS BITCH).
I CAN'T WAIT.
(Don't get me started with the rumor of dlc).
