Though she appears no more than 30, Yaphyll has remained young through the use of an amulet of perpetual youth. Once an imperialist and ally of Lauzoril, Yaphyll has recently switched sides, joining her good friend Lallara Mediocros as a supporter of Szass Tam.
Yaphyll is dedicated to Szass Tam as her rightful ruler. She acts as a moderating influence on Mediocros, keeping her on track when important things must be done. She is also useful due to the fact that her support of Szass Tam is not widely known, allowing her access to many potential rivals who might not otherwise associate with her. Her assistance in secretly opening the gates of the Imperialist Red Wizard Nyklos Thrannul to Szass Tam’s undead legions was invaluable to his cause and greatly appreciated by Tam’s vampire followers.

Yaphyll, the zulkir of Divination, is an ally of Lallara and one of the few people who can focus the abjurer’s attention on important topics at critical times. She avoids danger by knowing about any plots against her before they come to fruition. She wears a magic amulet that protects her from penalties for aging and makes her appear to be thirty years of age. She has spies in every enclave, often giving the weaker ones strong protective items to ensure both their survival and their loyalty.

Yaphyll was a slender woman, somewhat short for a Mulan, sometimes having a humorous impish expression on her face. She looked as being in her early 30s but was known for maintaining her youth through magic. It was rumored that Yaphyll had an amulet of perpetual youth. Like every zulkir, Yaphyll had masked her true prowess showing off as a cute lass with a light heart and irrepressible sense of humor. Any rival should have realized though that to rise through high in the hierarchy of her order, Yaphyll possessed a ruthless heart and adamantine will as well.
