Gwent: Playing Innkeeps Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Quest
Group: Secondary Quests
Location: Novigrad
This quest will appear in your journal when, after an audience with the Emperor, you leave Vizima Castle and reach Velen for the first time.
It is an innkeeper's job to tend to his guests' needs. Usually this takes the form of serving strong drinks and listening to tales of loves lost and wounds received. Yet at times a patron will wish to play a hand of gwent, which is why all good innkeepers keep a deck at the ready at all times. And the excellent ones - they keep excellent decks, full of top-notch cards that can provide an evening of challenge and excitement to even the most refined gwent player. Geralt was determined to win some of these cards for himself.
