I've watched every episode of The Witcher up to S4E2 and I have a few questions: Who are these characters? What do they want? Where are these scenes taking place?

Does… anyone… feel oriented watching The Witcher? Because we cut to a candlelit council of… some faction wearing nice capes. They are allies? cousins? sworn enemies? And then smash to Geralt trudging toward a place the show refuses to name. Ciri is… running? Training? Abducted? Yennefer appears, disappears, reappears with a new plan that I do not understand.

Should I feel confident that the people in the red silks and the people in the blue silks aren’t actually the same people in different fancy rooms? Because at this point I’d love a chyron that says where and who they are. In fact, I would love it if before anyone said anything they simply announced who they are first. I need geography. And goals. And… AND conversations where somebody doesn’t say “as you know” before launching into a lore dump.
