Bloody Baron is a main quest in Velen. Hendrik's notes say that Ciri stayed with the Bloody Baron, the self-proclaimed ruler of Velen. Geralt rides to Crow's Perch, the baron's seat, to ask about her. The baron did meet Ciri, but he wants something in return for the rest of the story.

Choices
The welcome at Crow's Perch depends on The Nilfgaardian Connection. Geralt may have fought the baron's men at the Inn at the Crossroads. In that case the guards refuse him at the gate. He must then sneak in through the cave and the old well.
If Geralt kept the peace at the inn, the guards let him in. Some of them ask for 15 crowns first. The sergeant then leads Geralt straight to the baron.
