The result was a bit cataclysmic for the world of the elves. Multiple worlds crossed through to each other, scattering species like seeds as they merged.” Planes of existence began to cross skies warred with skies. As Blood Origin’s narration puts it: “The fragile veils between worlds had been ripped apart. Unfortunately, the shattering of the monolith released shattered space and time itself, triggering the Conjunction. During the final battle for control of the Elven empire, the sorceress Zacaré (Lizzie Annis) merges Syndril’s (Zach Wyatt) power with that of the evil mage Balor (Lenny Henry) to shatter the monolith and stop Balor’s chaos magic. The Witcher: Blood Origin shows us the event more fully. It’s also how magic - or “chaos” - came to exist, giving humans the power to become mages. and with them monsters and other beings slipped into the world. But the common belief is that it was when all worlds (other spheres of existence) collided. The event is something only vaguely understood by characters in the world of The Witcher.

This concept gets mentioned a lot in the series, and is at the root of many of the core conflicts explored in Netflix’s The Witcher. It’s accredited to a long-ago event, a cataclysm, commonly referred to as the Conjunction of the Spheres. The world of The Witcher, set primarily on a continent simply called The Continent, is full of magic and monsters - but it didn’t begin that way.
