⸺  Biography

Vassral, meaning: vessel or vassal. The Vassrals joined with a secluded cult clan for both survival and out of conviction, recognizing the dawn of a new era within the clan’s pacts and practices. They pledged themselves, their future generations and arcane prowess to this clan in exchange for protection and a place to call home. This family’s prized possession is the command of the arcane, with vast pools of aether to draw from as well as an innate talent for magicks. From their bloodline sprung forth a many powerful mage, and Yehn is one of them.What she is not is cruel. To disregard kin's life in order to strengthen her own—a practice too often deemed as the beating heart of the clan's survival—is the most bitter taste on her tongue, a festered wound in the very fabric of her soul she has attempted to cleanse and stitch countless times. When hope diminished to a flickering candle, a lord from the Thirteenth bestowed his blessing upon her, and she left behind a life of endless cruelty perpetuated through generations.This world, this life she, now lives in is a fascinating stranger to her, one she wants to get to know with all that it has to offer. To seize all that she had missed and live to the fullest of her potential—that is her dream. Never again will she be shackled. Never again will she watch those she cared for be treated as expendable. She is, at heart, a cataclysmic wildfire that softly slumbers. It takes but a spark to unleash her wrath.For now, she is focusing on building the foundation for the home she wants to nurse. She found work at the Botanists' Guild in Gridania and sometimes lends a hand to the Conjurer's. Her insatiable curiosity for the odd and occult has helped her make unusual friends, and made her usual friends grow wary. To study, to feel, to know the world around her—to bask in all its wonders, unafraid of peril—has become her new quest.

  arcana & alchemy    : her favored passionsYehn comes from a family that prides itself on producing countless generations of powerful mages. Her magical talents are innate, and she has spent the majority of her life perfecting her magicks. Through a planisphere much like those used by astrologians, she channels black magic with ease. Alchemy, too, is a beloved craft, especially potion-brewing and poultice-mixing. Ask her about eft tadpoles.  employment    : in search of...Having left the sheltered life at her clan, Yehn has to, for the first time ever, work and earn money to make a living and provide for herself. Even though she is well-versed in the more scholarly-type occupations, she can learn quickly and is willing to try her hand at new endeavors. All she needs is to be given a chance.  occultism    : toeing the lineYehn won't deny that she has a rather passionate interest in all things macabre. Voidsent, especially, intrigue and interest her. She is fascinated by what they are, what they represent—about both her world and theirs—and by how misunderstood they are. That not everyone shares her enthusiasm on the topic, she knows, and is careful with whom she talks about it.  new life    : starting anewQuite recently, Yehn has run away from left her clan to start a new life far away from their negative influence. Much of the world around her is new; she tries her best to blend in by studying those around her and mimicking their behaviors, but keen eyes will notice that she regularly misses subtle social cues.
