| abstract | - Borch Three Jackdaws is introduced in the short story Granica możliwośc ("The Bounds of Reason"). He was a knight accompanied by two Zerrikanian women, Téa and Véa, to whom he referred as his "weapons". He never carried conventional weapons of any kind, saying that he could not, but never elaborating. Geralt met him after slaying a basilisk, during which Borch intervened before the folks who hired the witcher could pilfer his bags. He invited Geralt back to a nearby inn, using the opportunity to question the witcher on his personal philosophy and was pleased to learn Geralt didn't hunt dragons, because, as Geralt explained, they don't threaten humans; rather, it is humans who hunt them. He debates with Geralt the possible existence of a golden dragon which would be a mutant but is rebutted when Geralt reluctantly states "Mutants are sterile, Borch. Only legends permit what nature condemns. Only myths can ignore the limits of what's possible." Borch wasn't keen on killing Myrgtabrakke, the dragon of Barefield, and later adopted her baby, for in reality, Borch was a huge golden dragon by the name of Villentretenmerth with the ability to change shape. While Geralt and Yennefer were still unaware that the dragon was actually Borch, Yennefer asked Geralt to kill it so that she might try to concoct a medicine from the carcass that could cure her infertility. Geralt refused which did not sit well with the sorceress at all. Knowing what it meant to Yennefer and having spoken to Dandelion, Geralt decided that he must try and kill the dragon for her. However, due to events, he never goes through with this.
