History
Ancient history
Originally the site of a vrani settlement, the inhabitants died out either due to climate change or elven expansion after the Age of Migration. There, the Aen Saevherne began to learn and teach the art of magic through generations.
Training of Sources
Following the first landing of humans, Loc Muinne's first encounter with the expansive race was Geoffrey Monck, a Chapter member of the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, who brought several young children identified as Sources to be trained by the Aen Saevherne. Among the children was Agnes of Glanville, who after training, became the first female human sorceress.
Sack of Loc Muinne
Several years after Monck's successful expedition, the forces of Marshall Milan Raupenneck of Tretogor carried out a pogrom in Loc Muinne and Est Haemlet, killing all of the elves, regardless of age or sex. This began an elven-human war, ended with the massacre at Shaerrawedd.

Journal entry
Note
- If Geralt spared the young Aryan La Valette during the Prologue, the two meet again in Loc Muinne, where Aryan has decided to attend the summit of the mages. Aryan also mentions the disappearance of his half-sister Anaïs, saying she has been kidnapped. If Geralt previously sided with Iorveth, he would not know what Aryan is talking about, nor have the opportunity to help the child. Aryan does not make any mention of his younger half-brother, Boussy, who also disappeared (on Roche's path, it's learned he was killed in a plot by the Temerian nobility).
