Breza is a village (or remains thereof) which was raised probably somewhere in Lower Sodden, but possibly Brugge. The elder was Hector Laabs, a reasonable man compared to the village priest. Geralt and his companions stumble upon the makeshift camp only to have the residents try to extort money from them. When they demand to speak with the leader of the village, they come upon a scene which became the basis for the "lynching" of Abigail in the computer game. However, in the novel, the young woman about to be lynched was not a healer, but rather an unfortunately mentally deficient young woman who could not defend herself in any way. She was saved from her fate by Geralt, Regis and Zoltan.
