What is "reynevan"

Reinmar of Bielau called Reynevan, is a fictional character created by a Polish fantasy writer Andrzej Sapkowski. He is the protagonist of the Hussite Trilogy, which comprises the following three volumes: Narrenturm (The Tower of Fools), Boży bojownicy (Warriors of God) and Lux perpetua (Ceaseless Light).

During his studies in Prague ( Bohemia) Reynevan of Bielau learned medicine and wizardry and became a doctor and magician. He is also a herbalist, or a “herb doctor”, skilled in the harvesting and collection of medicinal plants. The action of the trilogy takes place in the Lands of the Bohemian Crown (mostly Silesia and Bohemia) during Hussite Wars (1419–1434) and is centered on Reinmar's search for people who had murdered his brother, Peter von Bielau, also known as Peterlin. Reinmar's interests constantly put him into trouble and he is frequently attracted to women, which is the cause for even more distress. Among Reinmar's peculiar companions are Szarlej and Samson Miodek, who are comparatively unlucky.

Reinmar is considerably different from Geralt, Sapkowski's most popular character – unlike his predecessor he is very naïve but also quite winning.
