Ladies of the Wood is one of the major main quests in Velen. Hendrik's notes spoke of a witch, and Geralt learns that they meant the Crones of Crookback Bog. A trail of treats leads him to an orphanage in the bog, run by a woman called Gran. The Crones want a favor before they say anything about Ciri. They had planned to hand her to Imlerith, a general of the Wild Hunt, but she escaped the swamp.

- Gran is Anna Strenger, the baron's missing wife. A mark burns on her hand that Geralt recognizes.
- The Whispering Hillock starts during this quest and must be finished before the Crones talk.
- Bringing the news of Anna back to the baron moves Family Matters forward.
