Uma Main Characters

Journal Description

When Geralt encountered a misshapen midget at the Bloody Baron’s court, he didn’t think much of it. Yet when he heard a similarly deformed being had washed up on Skellige’s shores in the same boat in which Ciri and her mysterious companion had sailed off shortly prior, he connected the two at once. It was clear this rough-hewn hunk of flesh was the key to finding Cirilla.

Geralt learned that, prior to arriving at Crow’s Perch, Uma had briefly been the possession of Donar, jarl of Hindarsfjall. At some point, however, Donar sold Uma to a merchant from Novigrad, who thought the strange little creature would make a wonderful jester. This must have been the same merchant who then lost Uma to the Bloody Baron in a hand of cards.

We all breathed a sigh of relief to learn that Uma’s twisted body and mind were no cruel joke played by nature, but the result of a curse. Now we needed only find a way to lift it…

Geralt didn’t know exactly what the deformed being that had sailed to Skellige in Ciri’s boat was. He had no doubt, however, that it was somehow tied to her fate - and just might be the key to finding her.

It turned out the diminutive freak had spent some time in the possession of Donar, jarl of Hindarsfjall. Later Donar sold him to a Novigrad merchant who thought he was perfect material for a top-notch jester.

Based on Skjall’s detailed description, Geralt was able to recognize the creature at the Baron’s castle as the very same deformed midget Skjall saw on Hindarsfjall.

Sadly, it was impossible to communicate with this “Uma” (as the creature had come to be called). He seemed to dwell in a world all his own. Yet Geralt knew only Uma held the key to finding Ciri. Even if no pertinent information was forthcoming from the creature’s lips, surely further investigation would squeeze some solution out of this riddle.

Though Yennefer and Vesemir agreed Uma was suffering from a powerful curse, they could not reach a consensus about how to go about lifting it. Sharp words were exchanged before Vesemir stepped in and announced that before Yennefer did anything he would try one of the traditional witcher methods.

All that was left to the others was to wait.

Though Vesemir’s method had worked to disenchant the famous Swan of Poviss, it brought no breakthrough here. Vesemir did, however, succeed in confirming that Uma’s body was a sort of magic prison in which some other being was trapped.

Yennefer’s method did not prognosticate a high chance for Uma’s survival - yet was now the only remaining option for lifting the curse.

The ritual succeeded beyond their wildest expectations. The person cursed inside Uma turned out to be none other than Avallac’h, a powerful elven Sage the witcher had met before.
Sadly, there was no communicating with Uma. The gnarled twiglet lived in his own miniature world. Yet Geralt knew Uma was the key to finding Ciri. Even if no pertinent information was forthcoming from the creature’s stunted lips, surely further investigation would squeeze some solution out of this riddle.
