Yen'sal

Intro
Yen'sal is the archivist at the Wending Archives in the town of Wending.

Description
Yen'sal is a half-elf. They appear fairly young, although their elven heritage makes it difficult to tell. They have long, purple hair which, on first meeting, was pinned into a loose bun using several quills. They wear a monocle.

Yen'sal is extremely proud of the Wending Archives and is very pleased by any compliments about them.They value knowledge very highly and are frustrated by the preponderance of inaccurate myths and legends about Wending, especially when such superstition is responsible for muddled or absent factual records. They are also curious and excited by the discovery of new knowledge.They enjoy meeting other academics, especially fellow historians. While they don't think much of the "shallow pursuit" of showy magic exhibited at the Wendingsfael festival, they seem to respect the discipline of spellcrafting as a way of 'adding knowledge to the world.'

Background
Yen'sal's family dates back to (or close to) the founding of Wending, but Yen'sal is the only one still living in the town.

"The Wending Way" (2x2)
The party visited the Wending Archives and met Yen'sal and Alfred. Yen'sal helped Ignatious research the history of Wending and explained a little more about the Wendingsfael to the group.

"Wendingsfael" (2x4)
The party returned to the Archives to research the Sanctuary of Mayadine. They explained the situation with the destroyed sigil (though they did not relate that they had entered the Sanctuary, instead claiming that Vangdondalor was the only one who had directly seen the sigil) to Yen'sal, who was excited by the prospect.Yen'sal asked the party to return if they discovered any further information.

"The Broken Sigil" (2x6)
The party discovered that Yen'sal had gone alone into the Sanctuary of Mayadine to investigate the sigil for themselves. Ignatious followed after them - invisibly - while the others waited outside the Sanctuary for Aspen Watch.

It seemed that Yen'sal had become lost and was having difficulty locating the sigil, which they told Ignatious they were seeking out of curiosity. They admitted that they were not dissuaded by the taboos about entering the Sanctuary.

Family
Yen'sal describes the archives as having been build up by their family over "a couple of generations.

They have at least two siblings, including Vali, who is Alfred's original owner, and one sibling who briefly studied in Daelin and whom Yen'sal describes as "a little flighty."
