Kaedweni Camp - Overview
Kaedweni camp is a pretty large war camp with a lot of points of interest. This section covers them all up and any quests related to them are further explained on their pages.
1 - King Henselt
This tent here is the residence of King Henselt, the ruler of Kaedwen. He's set out on a war campaign against Upper Aedirn and Vergen stands on his way. During Act II, he's in the focus of most of the main quests, including
The Assassins of Kings,
The Blood Curse,
Faith Symbolized among others.
2 - Count Tybalt
Count Tybalt is a knight of the Flaming Rose. Once you meet him, he'll immediately accuse you as a killer of Siegfried and Jacques De Aldesberg (Grandmaster from the first game) and charge to attack you. There's nothing else to do with him other than beat him and thankfully, no one else interferes during the fight.
3 - Dethmold
Every king is supposed to have a sorcerer/sorceress advisor and King Henselt is no exception. Dethmold is his royal advisor and as such, plays a prominent role in this act as well. Quests that include him are
The Assassins of Kings and
Conspiracy Theory among others.
4 - Sile de Tansarville
You can discuss various topics with Sile, including the Wild Hunt, Triss, her rival Dethmold and her reason for staying in the Pontar Valley. Her involvement in the main quests is somewhat reduced in this act though she lends you a talisman which can get you safely across the mist in
The Blood Curse.
5 - Adam Pangratt
This veteran mercenary is the arm wrestling champion around here. You'll be able to fight him after defeating all the other contestants during the quest
Bring it On: Kaedweni Camp. He'll also be able to provide you with lore on the battle of Brenna along with some details from a mercenary's life.
6 - Upper camp gates
This gates will be closed until you're about to finish the quest called
Prelude to War: Kaedwen. Once you finish touring the camp with Zyvik, gates will get opened to let you see the king.
7 - Elven prisoner & guards
When attempting to speak with the prisoner guards will stop you and tell you that they don't trust you enough. The guard can also tell you where they found the elf and under what conditions. The prisoner plays a role in the quest
The Assassins of Kings later on in the chapter.
8 - Drunk soldier

12 - Sven
Sven is the foolishly brave son during the quest
The Butcher of Cidaris. You'll be able to fight alongside him in a match versus Letande Avet and his mercenary helper.
13 - Cantina
Cantina, as always, is everyone's favorite place. There are several quest starting in here, most notably

15 - Blacksmith Lasota & Zyvik
This blacksmith has a few interesting diagrams to sale, most notably either variety of robust meteorite swords (
Diagram: Robust Yellow Meteorite Sword,
Diagram: Robust Blue Meteorite Sword and
Diagram: Robust Red Meteorite Sword). Choose whichever one suits your style. They are the best silver swords until very late in the act, making that sword over there not worth chasing first. Materials are rather common and you can buy silver sword from Lasota. The end producs are
Robust Blue Meteorite Sword,
Robust Yellow Meteorite Sword and
Robust Red Meteorite Sword. You might also notice a diagram for draug's armor, but don't let it fool you: you can't craft it until Act III and there are much better armors available there from the start. Lasota is also the best dice player around, as demonstrated in the quest
Poker Face: Kaedweni Camp. Zyvik will also stay here once you meet him in front of the gates and he gives the side quest
Lost Lambs.
16 - Tournament arena
