Full name Class Nationality First appearanceMagic's Pawn Yfandes is the Companion of Herald-Mage Vanyel. Vanyel was Chosen by Yfandes after Tylendel threw himself off the tower, and Vanyel stumbled away. Once Vanyel collapsed, he felt Yfandes in his mind for the first time. Yfandes shielded Vanyel for some time while his mind and emotions were in turmoil, and his magic was out of control. Since Yfandes waited ten years to Choose, Heralds took Yfandes' Choosing a Herald to have a certain significance. Even Herald Mage Savil expressed surprised disbelief, as well as being deeply concerned about what the Choosing meant for both Yfandes and Vanyel.
