A refugee hoping to cross into Oxenfurt in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt

A Refugee from Velen in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

These refugees hang out in Refugee Camps, hoping to find a way to escape their war-torn land and reach a city in which they can find a job and start over, such as Novigrad and Oxenfurt.

Unfortunately, King Radovid has ordered the borders closed and noone can pass without a Transit Pass. Shady Merchants sell those passes for exorbitant prices which most refugees cannot afford.
