If you watch any movie or series of any genre, there will be at least one symbolic thing, place, or even an expression. For instance, Netflix’s Original show The Sandman has three tools for the Lord of Dreaming that give him the power and a sense of identity. In the same way, the historical epic drama, The Witcher, starring Henry Cavill, has several symbols. One of them is the medallion for the three symbolic entities. As another season is on the way, Henry sends out his gratitude in a surprising way.

The Witcher is based on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. As the viewers know, the medieval-inspired landmass known as the Continent, The Witcher, unveils the story of the legends of Geralt of Rivia, Yennefer of Vengerberg, and Princess Ciri. All these legends have their own symbols representing their strengths. So, the question arises: how did Cavill surprise everyone with his sense of gratitude? Let us give you the answer here.

Henry Cavill sends out a symbolic gift as a token of gratitude

Working with the crew and actors for such a long time connects one another very well. Therefore, when they wrap up shooting, it makes them emotional to say goodbye. Millie Bobby Brown also spoke about how tough it was for her to say goodbye to the cast and crew of Stranger Things. However, Superman has his own way of expressing his feelings for his colleagues. Here, look at his gesture.

Geralt of Rivia sent out these medallions and a card for the cast and crew of the show. The medallion is representative of the three major characters: Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri. On the card, Cavill thanked everyone for their determination and dedication while wishing them a well-rested break. Fans of the show and actors appreciated this thoughtful gesture. But for those who don’t know what this medallion is, here is a little more about it.

What is this medallion?

The medallion is a vital part of both the series and the original books. It is the symbol of a Witcher’s profession and identity of which school the Witcher comes from. It gives them the strength and power of sensing any supernatural elements available around them. Each of these characters has different symbols, i.e. Geralt has Gwynbleidd, Ciri has Zireael and Yennefer’s symbol is The Obsidian Star.

Gwynbleidd is an Elder Speech term for The White Wolf, a name many call Geralt throughout the show. Geralt uses the symbolic pendant to detect any monster or magic around him. It strengthens him while creating an aura around him to protect himself. As for the story of the book goes, Zireael is an old gwyhyr sword forged by gnomes in Tir Tochair, and is given to Ciri as a gift. If you watch the whole show, you’ll realize this symbol is certainly a perfect suit for Ciri. And last but not the least, Yennefer’s Obsidian Star necklace. It differs in the game from the show. In the show, the necklace is asymmetrical and has eight points. However, it’s symbolic of her magical power and representative of her character.

How thoughtful it is of Cavill to send it to everyone involved in the show! If you haven’t watched the show yet, watch it here before the third season arrives in 2023. If you have already watched it, tell us your interpretations of other symbols from the Netflix Original in the comment box below.
