Triss's Wedding in The Witcher 3 Revealed

In the Witcher 3 quest, "Ashen Marriage," Geralt assists Triss Merigold and her fiancé, Castello, with their impending nuptials in Novigrad. His tasks include ridding the canals of monsters, procuring alcohol, and selecting a wedding gift for Triss. The gift's significance is noteworthy; a memory rose, a callback to The Witcher 2, evokes a strong emotional response from Triss, unlike more mundane presents.

However, unforeseen complications arise when Dijkstra exposes Castello's connection to witch hunters. This revelation reveals Castello is acting under duress, blackmailed into the engagement to protect his daughter's secret from a previous marriage.

Geralt faces the decision of whether to reveal this truth to Triss, either privately or alongside Castello. Regardless of his choice, the wedding is called off. Triss's reaction varies; she is either disappointed in Castello's deception or grateful for his honesty, concluding the marriage was premature.

This plot development held potential for enriching Geralt and Triss's dynamic and furthering the character arcs of supporting figures.
