Geralt's hansa (or “party”) consisted of Dandelion, Milva, Cahir, Regis and Angoulême . It was declared in Riverdell, as a symbol of its members' commitment to the cause of finding and rescuing Ciri. Whereas up to this moment the companions considered themselves or each other more or less a rag-tag group of free agents, from this point on they became a unit, a singular entity with a common goal, supporting and depending on each other, under Geralt's leadership. The rest of the party, with the exception of Geralt (and Dandelion), died during the assault on Stygga castle.
