In the novels, there is some speculation that Vesemir might be older than Kaer Morhen itself. There are a handful of witchers left at Kaer Morhen - Eskel, Lambert, Coën, and their mentor and Vesemir - who are all introduced in Blood of Elves when Ciri and Geralt return there for the winter. The home of the School of the Wolf is described as a fortress in ruin, following events that occurred long ago in response to the ever-present conflict between magic, mutants, and humans - especially the humans that populate the Northern Kingdoms. Sitting high in the mountains of Kaedwen, Kaer Morhen is an ancient keep that first appeared in Sapkowski's Blood of Elves, though there is mention of it in The Last Wish, which, though set long before, was published afterward.

Nightmare of the Wolf writer Beau DeMayo explained to CBR that the lore was always paramount during the writing process, saying, 'That was very important to me, that this feels like something that is always bowing at the altar of what Sapkowski created.' And audiences can see hints of that in several ways throughout the anime feature film. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, on the other hand, explores an era in the Continent's history that Sapokwski's novels only ever mention, with few details ever provided as to the how and the why of certain events. Longtime fans will know that Netflix's show takes liberties with the source material, to the point that it isn't always faithful to the lore of Andrzej Sapkowski's fantasy world. Netflix's The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf does not bridge the events of The Witcher Season 1 and 2, per se. Rather, it provides background and context for Vesemir and Kaer Morhen, which are both set to appear in the live-action series when it returns this year.
