Is it "Witch" for male characters as well?

Yep. There's no gender distiction noted for that title, similar to the Jester Festival "Empieror".
Men can wear the Glenmoril Witch robes
Men can wear the Witch hat.
Men can get the Witch title.

I now suspect that "Witch" is a gender neutral job description in 2nd Era Tamriel.

Enjoy!

Witches are male too.

Exactly. In some old school rpg/fantasy lore the difference between witch/ warlock/ sorcerer/wizard was not by gender but by type of magic.

Didn't know it. In Russian there are different words for females and males specialized in witchcraft; "ведьма" and "ведьмак" or "ведун". That's why I expected to see a "Witcher" for males. Anyway, I want this title for my Argonian Maiden, so it doesn't really matter.

Can I save up the Writs and do them after the festival to get the Witch Title or do I have to do it during the Festival ?

Good question. I’m saving up my writs to see if I really have to choose one or if I can get 2 titles out of my rng luck. At least do it on the last day of event.

For what its worth, in English, "Witcher" is currently rather heavily associated with another video game series based off a series of novels featuring one Gerald of Rivia, so I doubt ZOS wanted to mess with potential copyright issues.

rabidmyers

if you take a look at the info on the plunder and dremora skulls it mentions warlocks alongside witches

dont see why zos can't do what they did with the emperor/empress title and make male toons have a Warlock title

honestly i consider this a very good idea and SHOULD! happen

IRL witches are cursing your offspring for that comment

If you can do this with the New Life writs after that event's over, I see no reason why you couldn't do the same with these writs after this event's over. The achieve is based on number of writs done, not WHEN the writs are done.

If you want to, you could also buy the writs for 1 ticket each at impresario. You can get 2 tickets everyday.

LOL, that's just ridiculous. I doubt, that CD Projekt RED is so greedy. In Kingdom Come: Deliverance there is a perk "Witcher", and there was no lawsuits about it. Eight save us from such copyright laws.

A male witch is a male witch, there isn’t a technically correct term for a male witch.
Some would say ‘wizard’ but that’s a totally different ’species’.
During the witch trials a witch was a witch and gender didn’t matter, which is probably what they’re going for.

I agree with you and I think it would be great to have a separate title of warlock or similar that anyone could use too. The more choice players have the better for role playing.

character based same as every achievement/title in the game

The house ownership ones (Lord/Lady and so on) aren't exceptions?
