The Nilfgaardian garrison is to the northwest of White Orchard. The easiest route to reach it is by heading along the river bank in a westerly direction, following it northwest into a small swamp (watch for wolves and drowners). As the brick edifice looms at you from the hill ahead, pass under the archway of a broken bridge, past some exercising troops, and under a second archway. Dismount at the small jetty and climb the wooden steps. You’re met by two brusers manning the gated entrance. A brief chat, and you’re allowed through.
Once inside the gates, head southeast toward the ruins of a brick tower, and speak to the garrison commander. It seems he may have some knowledge of Yennefer’s whereabouts, but he’ll only impart that information if you agree to rid the area of a troublesome griffin. Agree to this quid pro quo, and be sure you ask the following before you leave:
About a specific herb in the hunt for the griffin.
