A burly, battered man of ruthless courage
and a hearty, jovial (though false) manner,
Yorel is a veteran warrior in the service of
Zhentil Keep, who has served as a ser-
geant of the garrison at Voonlar and at
Yulash several times for differing guards-
captains and Lords, as Zhentil Keep has
taken and re-taken those places over the
years. If Zhentil Keep's war-leaders plan a
guard-in-force for a valuable CARAVAN, or a
raiding or reconnoitering patrol in the
area, and want a cautious veteran warrior
rather than a reckless adventurer, Yorel is
called upon to lead. He secretly dreams of
founding his own hold, taking a wife and
having many daughters and at least one
son to be proud of, and bear a coat-of-
arms proudly as he founds a line of Lords
to stretch down long years, and to be
loved by his subjects, not feared. Yore! is
wise enough (16 Wisdom) to know that
this will probably never happen, although
he's now on the lookout for a chance to
make off with a lot of money somewhere
far away and a little warmer (such as
Tethyr, say, or the lands west of Vilhon),
but he's not yet bitter. Yorel is an expert in
the art of warfare with relatively small
bands of men, especially at reading an ene·
my's movements and correctly anticipat·
ing future actions from them, and knows
the Inner Sea's northern terrain as few
men alive do, as well as the druids and
rangers active in the area, perhaps. Yorel is
presently captaining various patrols and
special raids for Zhentil Keep in the south·
ern Moonsea/northem Dalelands area.
