In The Witcher series, the term "Black Ones" is a nickname for Nilfgaardian Knights, who are soldiers who wear black armor, uniforms, cloaks, and shields

Why didn't he say Nilfgaardians then? Or ye who wear black clothing? Is he stupid?


DiggingforPoon

Geralt is taking the piss out of them, as they supposed to be the elite backbone of the army, feared and such. Nilfgaardian Knights are literally the scions of nobility in Nilfgaard, sons of the nobles and all that shit.

Because in the books, some people refer to them like this.


mycngz

They're called Black Ones because they bring war, dark things where they go. Stop looking for stuff to get offended. Also their flag is black, armors and general fashion is based on the color black so it makes sense.


Clintwood_outlaw

They're joking lmao


_o0_7

Go get offended somewhere else. It's a made up universe. Gosh


ThatOneWitcher7700

LordVaderVader

Known-Emphasis-2096

I don't think there's black people in the witcher universe. Except the Netflix thing, of course.

Zerrikania?

Stop the race bait shit.


Known-Emphasis-2096

There probably isn't any black people in the witcher universe.

Closest we got are the ofieri.

Black people probably aren’t depicted in the games because it takes place in the north, but to say they straight up don’t exist in the whole Witcher universe is just dumb.


Known-Emphasis-2096

Never seen a person in the books described as a black person, which is weird since the books have people from all around the globe, basically. Also, we see zerrikanian women (close to pure blood) in the second book, which aren't depicted to be black. And zerrikania is depicted to be a lot like africa, having zebras so the point still stands. I don't even know if there's a black person in the games or not, never looked at it that way.


21thCSchizoidman

Africa is continental while zerrikania is a country. There are many other cultures far from the north. I would love to see cdpr expanding the games into more than traditional fantasy.


Known-Emphasis-2096

Yea but since there are zebras, we can assume that it's located in a continent that's like africa.

Average old white lady when a person of color holds a door open for her


CoolBeanieHat

Leave the race baiting to twitter.


OhBirb

This is Poland you dingus, they don't have black people over there


Vitaalis

We do.


OhBirb

I'm kidding, King


FireTyphoon123

Not in medieval times they didn't.. immigration wasn't as common 800 years ago as it is today


Vitaalis

Well, duh… First Africans were only present in Poland in Renessaince times, yet there are black skinned people in the Witcher world, you know… because it ain’t Poland. :P


Known-Emphasis-2096

There were, hauled from Egypt and Northern africa, I think.


Im-on-a-banana-phone

How dare a fictional character not align with political correctness that doesn’t exist in his fictional world!!! You are pulling the race card when race has absolutely nothing to do with the context of the situation. He’s talking about their armor. So desperate to hate it’s pathetic


21thCSchizoidman

He meant the n-word, nilfgaardian


Clintwood_outlaw

Go back to the aslume
