Dramatis Personae: Y

Yarblek

Nadrak merchant and drunkard from Yar Turak, an old friend of Silk, who meets the party on the way to Rak Cthol along the South Caravan Route and helps them quite a lot over the next several years. Owner of Vella.

Yarblek was sitting cross-legged on the carpeting at the back of the tent, with a large black keg conveniently beside him. "Come in. Come in," he said brusquely. "Close the flap. You're letting out all the heat."

"This is Yarblek," Silk said by way of introduction, "an adequate merchant and a notorious drunkard. We've known each other for a long time now."

"My tent is yours." Yarblek hiccuped indifferently. "It's not much of a tent, but it's yours anyway. There are cups over there in that pile of things by my saddle - some of them are even clean. Let's all have a drink."
