What qualities did Yerin have that made the Sword Sage take her on as a disciple?
This gets into spoiler territory, because I will be answering that question thoroughly in the series, but suffice it to say that she was born strong. And she demonstrated that at an early age.
Did Yerin get another sword arm when she advanced? I didn't see any explicit mention of it one way or another.
No.
Yerin vs. Simon
Yerin wouldn't get absolutely smoked against no-mask Simon, but I do think she would lose. We haven't fully seen her go all-out yet, so it's closer than you might think, but she doesn't have the raw strength Simon does. Yet. Simon (the commenter on this blog) is right about Yerin's master: the Sword Sage would toy with Simon (the character) until Simon's powers ran out and he lost.
What would happen if Eithan tried using his Madra dissolving technique on Yerin's Blood Shadow parasite?
I'm not sure if I can answer this.
Yerin vs. Simon with only steel
Yerin. She's trained longer with the sword, she would be physically weaker than him but not so much that she would be overwhelmed, and she can do crazy magic things that Simon can't.
What is Yerin's ideal date if she ever wanted to go on one?
Nice try.
Will, is Mercy lowkey more of a badass than Yerin?
Maybe, maybe not.
Why could Yerin read London's Unsouled badge if she never heard of the concept and can't read?
The Unsouled badge has a single symbol from the old language on it, and it's established in Blackflame that Yerin can read and/or recognize some of those symbols, because they're used in cycling manuals.
As a followup Will, I'd buy that if Yerin said "Empty?" which is what the character means but she said "Unsouled?" She didn't know what that concept meant and there were definitely none in the Heaven's Glory school. So, did she see other Unsouled and that's how she knew?
She said she’d never heard of that concept before reaching the Valley, not before meeting Lindon.
How did the Sword Sage plan to get Yerin to Lowgold in Sacred Valley without dying and giving her his remnant?

What is your view on a possible Lindon x Yerin romance?
All of the reasons listed in this conversations are reasons why I don’t like writing romance. It’s usually out of place and unnecessary, and you have to take time out of the plot to write it. Plus, it’s entirely based on emotional interactions, and emotional/relational interactions are what I have the hardest time writing. They’re my greatest weakness.All that said, a well-executed romance makes the whole story better. I don’t dislike it as a reader, it’s just hard as a writer.So what I’m trying to do is lay the foundation for a romance by creating two likeable characters who care for each other and have spent a lot of time together. Which is the groundwork a lot of stories don’t do, and why a lot of romance sub-plots fail.
But if Lindon X yerin does happen i would hope it would be really unhealthy awkward because neither of them know what a relaionship really is.
Frankly, this is the part I'm struggling with. Because neither Lindon nor Yerin are well-equipped for a healthy relationship, pairing them with anyone is going to result in significant emotional conflict.
Which, for most stories, is great! Organic character conflict is awesome. But it also takes time to do it justice, which means I'll be cutting space that would otherwise go toward The Sacred Arts Adventure Hour and spending it on Lindon And/Or Yerin's Love-Time Troubles, which is a...steep transition to make 6+ books deep in a series. So...working on it!
How old is yerin, I am under the impression she is about Lindon's age.
She’s roughly Lindon’s age, but she doesn’t know exactly. She didn’t track time during her time with the Sword Sage, so she could be 17-19 as far as she knows. EDIT: I didn’t account for enough time passing. 18-20.
so what's yerin's bra size?
Having never picked out a bra myself, I don't fully understand bra sizing. Therefore I'm going to go with the safe answer and say I don't know.
What about Yerin with Valinhall powers VS. Calder with Valinhall powers?
Man, that's a cool question.I'll still give it to Yerin, for the reasons stated above. Calder has training in fencing and experience using a saber, but it's not like he was trained as the disciple of a wandering swordsman.If they can use their previous powers, Calder being a Reader adds an interesting dimension to the Valinhall powers, but it doesn't touch having an Iron body on TOP of the ability to call steel, plus Striker and Ruler techniques.
If all of your protagonists had to take the SAT's and the GRE's, who would score the best? Who would score the lowest?
For everyone on his list, we have to assume that they don't get questions that are impossible for them to answer. Like questions relating to Earth's literature or technology.
Yerin would score the worst, as she's illiterate and would have no idea what to do with the tests.
Simon would be second-worst. His parents only cared about his education until the events of the HoB prologue, when he was eight years old. After that, the only math skill he exercised was counting, and he rarely wrote anything besides his name.
Calder is next up. He received a noble education, thanks to his mother, but not early in life. He would score better in math than in English (assuming we translated the fictional Imperial language he actually speaks into English), and his scores would be decent in both categories.
Leah would do better than Calder, but not much better. She's extremely well-educated, but to the limits of her time period and world.
Lindon's education is more suited to standardized tests; he actually learned math and linguistics (obviously he's not speaking English, as none of these characters are) from textbooks, and while his scientific education is either not applicable to our tests or is downright wrong even by Cradle standards, his mathematical and language skills are solid.
Shera would do the best. Gardeners got a great education and she has a well-trained memory and a precise mind. She would score higher than any of my other protagonists.
...if she could be bothered to finish the test.
Will those powers eventually affect Yerin or will she be able to access them as she advances?
Maybe, maybe not!
Word of Will response to :That's a different take on it than I had. At this point, I'm not considering Lindon's personal growth as much as his team's. You've got the sword master with what I assume will eventually be 6 sword arms sticking from her back, the strategist with no outstanding combat strength, and I'm thinking Jai Long and Jai Chen, as well. Overwhelming destructive power was actually missing from their group. Besides that, Lindon's second core is the air of mystery and the unexpected for me. Curious what he's really able to do with it later.
"You've nailed my thought process. My priority is to balance his eventual team more than Lindon as an individual."
What is Yerin’s favorite color?
If Yerin fought against Shera, who would win?
1.) If you asked her that, she would have no idea what to say. But it's lavender.
2.) In a straight-up fight? Yerin. But if they were given orders to find and kill one another, probably Shera.
I was quite disappointed at Kelsa disappearing from the story given she was probably my favorite Unsouled character :p
Early on in development, I had considered having Kelsa traveling with Lindon, and Yerin's character being a guy. But I couldn't justify Kelsa's presence, really, and I thought Yerin worked better as a woman. So Kelsa got left behind.
That's...certainly not the last we'll see of her, though. Spoilers.
Will we find out what Eithan took from the Ruins on Yerin’s behalf? Also Will we learn about the black scripted stones Lindon took from the ruins?
I thought he lost those stones. Did he not? I have a file specifically to keep track of Lindon’s inventory, so I’ll have to check.
