Episode 7 of season 3 of ‘The Witcher’ focused almost entirely on Ciri after the events that occurred at the end of episode 6. In this episode, Ciri is in survival mode after getting herself lost in Korath after the incident at Tol Lara. That was when she started seeing different visions while trying to survive the desert, and one of the things she saw was a girl named Falka. So, who is Falka in ‘The Witcher,’ and why did Ciri use her name?
Falka encourages Ciri to use fire magic, even when the latter knows how dangerous it can be. She is desperate at the time, so she uses it, but once tapped into the power of fire magic, there is no going back. Moreover, in the end, Ciri discovers that someone else has been captured in her place and sent to King Emhyr as her. No one really knows what Ciri looks like, so no one will look for her if they think Ciri is already in Nilfgaard.
Here is what to know about the history of Falka, and what this twist could mean for future seasons of « The Witcher. »
Falka is often referred to as ‘Bloody Falka’ because she killed her family and started a rebellion Hiftu Quasem as Falka in « The Witcher » season three, episode seven. Netflix
According to « The Witcher » novel lore, Falka was a former princess of Redania, the first-born daughter of King Vridank of Redania and Beatrix of Kovir. However, when her parents got divorced, Falka and her mother were sent back to Kovir while Vridank married another woman, called Cerro, and had two more children.
Is Ciri Related To Falka?
In The Witcher Season 3, when Falka appears in Ciri’s vision during her stay in the Korath desert, she reveals to her that Ciri’s life isn’t much different from hers, and maybe history is repeating itself. While Falka had to kill her own family to get the power she deserved, in Ciri’s case, the death of her family sent her on a journey to recognize her powers. Throughout The Witcher Season 2 and Season 3, we keep hearing that history was going to repeat itself, and in a way, it does. Stregobor believed that Yennefer, much like Falka, would bring doom to Aretuza, just like Falka burned Mirthe to the ground. However, in the present timeline, Aretuza and the Brotherhood get destroyed, not because of Yennefer or Ciri but because of Vilgefortz. So, if Falka and Stregobor’s concerns regarding history are true, then will Ciri become a power-hungry monster who is going to bring about the end of the world? If we follow the book “Time of Contempt” and the prophecy mentioned in it, then yes, we do have our answer.
