Here's some lore about Geralt's origins and life before the events of the novels. I know it's long
and more fitting for a blog but I guess it could help someone who's into RPing or is just puzzled
by the mystery of Geralt's early years we are told very little about and wants to know where and
when he was born, who his parents were, when were the last witchers trained etc. Most of info is
from the books and material by Sapkowski and part from the old Wiedzmin comics in Polish.
Breakdown:

First witchers were created by sorcerers Cozimo Malaspina and his apprentice Alzur some 300
years before the events of the books. (Season of Storms and LW). Mages probably lived in one of
the towers with fancy bedrooms in Kaer Morhen.

Geralt of the novels is in his 50s by the end (Interview with Sapkowski from 2001) ,probably born
around 1212 but before 1218 (in the games unnecesarily changed to near 100 for some reason,
in the books at least Nenneke and Mousesack are older than him because Nenneke says he
remembers him when he wasn't taller than her elbows in the Voice of Reason in Last Wish and
there is nothing to suggest she was abnormaly old).

Geralt's parents were a healing sorceress from druid circle of Mayena called Vissena and
mercenary called Korin and their first adventure and battle with Koschey is described in the story
"The road of no return" (that in my opinion should be included into the Last wish). Korin was killed
by vrans before Geralt was born, and it is implied that Visenna as a freelancing sorceress didn't
want a child to burden her and left him with the druids (he was probably born at the circle in
Mayena making him Geralt of Temeria ;D) where he met young druid in training called
Mousesack (Ermion in games, info from Sword of destiny and semi canon comics).

At some point in his childhood Geralt spent some time in Ellander temple of Melitele. (Voice of
reason, LW) While it is unknown why he was taken to witchers it is unlikely he was a child of
destiny because he himself doesnt thinks so and only Moussesack say that. (SoD and Matter of
Price) Also despite Geralt saying otherwise, his mother gave him the name.

All of the witchers in the series except Vesemir were trained after massacre of Kaer Morhen
(which happened 50 years before Triss was born according to herself in the Blood of elves) when
survivors of the wolf school tried to rebuild.

Witchers during Geralt's training were in serious decline trying to recover from the Sack of Kaer
Morhen, so he newer saw the "glory days". Since witchers were few it seems training under
Vesemir was far less brutal than it would've been otherwise with much more fratrenising, though
Eskel and Geralt got an occasional disciplinary spanking for their mischiefs Vesemir also told
them stories and fairytales during the long nights like the one Geralt retells to Ciri in Sword of
Destiny.

What caused utter ruination of witchers was the fact they were too eficiant. They almost
exterminated monsters and thus their purpose of existance. Sorcerers from outside were envious
of secrets witcher mages held in Kaer Morhen (probable reason of the massacre), priests saw
them as blasphemers, druids as a violation of nature and common folk as people who steal
children and often rob and kill innocent folk for supplies (one good thing old TV series has done is
to portray some witchers actually doing this. It certainly makes sense some of them were
desperate enough once kings stopped funding them and their numbers dwindled). In the end all
these factions convinced already paranoid king of Kaedwen that having a witcher fortress and a
millitary order of dubious allegiance in his territory was a liability his political enemies could use
and once he turned and stopped his patronage on which witchers depended the faith of the wolf
school was sealed. Sorceresses turned Cat and Wolf school on each other and then king of
Kaedwen forced their select best trainees to fight for his patronage in a tournament on which he
killed them all except Geralt who managed to escape and return to Kaer Morhen where only
Vesemir and few of the youngest were left.

Triss says that last witchers in Kaer Morhen were trained 25 years before the plot of blood of
Elves meaning around 1240 or 1241. One of those last ones was probably Lambert. Massacre of
Ielo in 1241 and bad publicity witchers got from it was probably what ended them and perhaps
death of their last mage who knew how to do the mutations. Vesemir was only a fencing
instructor.

Witchers seem to have had some sort of hierarchy and governing body or at least court that
judged whether someone should be declared a renegade and if deemed as such ,they probably
sent other witchers to kill them (conversation with Brehen in Season of Storms)

First "monsters" Geralt killed were bunch of robbers he met on the road near Kaer Morhen trying
to rape a daughter of a travelling trader . After he spectacularly killed one of them ,instead of
showing gratitude Geralt craved for, trader fled in fear and his daughter puked. (Matter of Price).
Earliest romances of Geralt implied in the books were one with an unnamed Priestess of Freya
that taught him that bogus "spell" he said to Gjinn in LW and Morren Eithne mentions in Saga. In
the comic while he was trainee he also bangs a she elf called Aideen and a sorcerress (of
course :D) April Wenhaver.
First Geralt's adventures in short stories happen during 1240s. Books come.
