An eccentric at best, Yurien was a collector of things both amazing and wonderful. She had a passion for exploring the unexplored and was very fond of any unique talismans she could lay her large hands on.

Coming over one night alone, he asked to see the Tome of B'iis, a prized possession of Yurien's as it contained vast amounts of insight within it's pages, but not unlimited. Once one read through the entire book, it was useless, it's knowledge granted.
