Deidre Ademeyn

Deidre est le personnage principale dans le mod « Le prix de la neutralité ». Elle a eu la malchance de naître pendant un éclipse totale.

Deidre Ademyne est l'enfant surprise d'Eskel. Elle est devenue, selon Vesemir, l'« enfant inattendue » d'Eskel quand ce dernier a sauvé la vie de son père, le prince de Caingorn à l'époche. Reconnaissant, le prince à promis à Eskel "ce qu'il trouverait mais auquel il ne s'attendait" une fois rendu chez loi. Ceci, en fin de compte fut la grossesse de las femme, et donc Deidre. Pour ce fait, Eskel et la fille partagent un lien spécial. Par exemple, Deidre dit qu'elle n'a qu'à penser d'Eskel pour savoir où il est en tout temps. Elle dit qu'ils son liés par le Destin.

Deidre est héritière des titres et biens de son père qui est mort de la syphilis récemment. Son frère, Merwin Ademeyn, serait deuxième en ligne, mais il ne la pense pas digne du rôle. Pour s'assurer qu'elle ne sera pas l'héritière des titres et biens, il a engagé un sorceresse puissante.

La sorceresse, Sabrina Glevissig, dit que Deidre est atteinte de la malédiction du soleil noir. Sabrina veut la tuer et examiner son cadavre afin d'apprendre la « vérité » de la malédiction du soleil noir pour le Conseil des Mages.

Deidre was born during an eclipse, and this is why she is considered to be affected by the so-called Curse of the Black Sun. She appears completely normal, but she does emit an aura which has apparently been increasing in power over the years. This aura prevents magic from being used in her presence, and this includes witchers' signs as well as spells cast by other magic users. Deidre herself says that her aura also dispels previously cast spells when she is present.

From Merwin, we hear a sad tale from Deidre's childhood. It seems that at the age of 12 she was raped by a charlatan claiming to be a mage. Actually, he claimed to be an altogether different kind of specialist: an oneiromancer, or diviner of dreams. This "mage" claimed that he needed to spend a night in Deidre's chamber as she slept. He would mix a brew designed to amplify her dreams. The old man could barely walk, had a beard down to his waist... Deidre's family suspected nothing.

He seemed to do as he claimed he would. By morning he was gone, but several valuable items had also disappeared from Deidre's chamber, including her favourite mother of pearl comb... Only the laundresses in the outskirts saw the miscreant, claiming that he fled as if chased by demons.

The prince ordered a search, but it was too late. Her father, who had hired the mage, refused to believe her claims of rape, saying that the cheat was an old man... And the bed linens betrayed nothing... This caused Deidre to flee assisted by "a young stable boy described as "an excessively broad-shouldered oaf". This could have been Roben, a man later described as a lover of both Deidre and Sabrina Glevissig, depending on whom you believe.

A search party was organized to find the youngsters, but they had disappeared without a trace. A week later, folk inhabiting the area where he was found claimed to have seen a young girl and boy ride through on large wolves... the stuff of fairy tales. The charlatan was ultimately found dead, having had his "manhood" removed. The implication being, of course that Deidre extracted her revenge most violently.

After some time passed, Deidre returned to the castle. From then on her father ordered the dogs set upon any mages that approached, assuming that any true sorcerer would surely manage to avoid a few bear-hunting hounds... And then Sabrina appeared.

Deidre can be found inside the walls of Kaer Morhen where the witchers have taken her in. She camps in the inner courtyard, accompanied by her faithful companions, Beann'shie and D'yaebl.

Entrée de journal

Selon la magicienne Sabrina Glevissig, Deidre Ademeyn a été touchée par la malédiction du soleil noir qui en a fait une mutante malveillante et cruelle.

Merwin Ademeyn admet qu'en tant qu'aînée, Deidre est l'héritière légitime de tous les biens et titres de leur père. En revanche, il revendique également qu'elle a perdu ce droit et que le fait d'être devenue une abomination cruelle lui interdit de gouverner.

Deidre est devenu l'enfant surprise d'Eskel quand le sorceleur a sauvé la vie de son père. Pour le remercier, le prince de Caingorn promit à Eskel toute chose inattendue qu'il trouverait à son retour chez lui. Eskel et la fille sont unis par un lien spécial, certains diraient même qu'ils sont liés par le destin.

Notes

• Deidre has a special affinity with loups et chiens, stories of her are littered with references to them. She wears a silver brooch with the profile of a wolf's head on it, and she is always accompanied by two black wolves, Beann'shie and D'yaebl.
• Deidre is very similar to Renfri from the short story « Le moindre mal », the similarities going even as far as Deidre quoting, word for word, the latter.
• As a name, Deidre is another form for Deirdre, a noble beauty destined for tragedy since her birth in Irish legends.
