Yulassetar Crade

Recent developments and context

• After the evacuation from Orithena to a military-run beach camp nicknamed "New Orithena," Yul sits with Cord, Gnel, Sammann, and Erasmas as delegations bound for a major mathic gathering arrive to secure evidence and testimony. Many wish to ask them what they saw, and travel to Tredegarh is discussed.
• Engagement: Yul proposes to Cord with a plain metal ring he forges from a loop cut out of the visitors’ parachute rigging; he hammers it to size at the campfire. Cord announces the engagement and the group celebrates.
• Rig status: Companions recall the wreckage of Yul’s rig flying past during the Orithena events; Yul does not comment. This remains an inference rather than a confirmed statement.

Between Orithena and the Daban Urnud

• Public attention and debriefs: Yul and Cord are flown by aerocraft for interviews, then lodged in the capital. After media attention intensifies, they are moved to quarters near Tredegarh and later to a remote military site; he jokes there is “no hiking” in the new environment.
• Role as witnesses: He sets simple rules for interviews (no repeating already-answered questions), pushing officials and staff to organize their process.

Delegation to the Daban Urnud

• Selection: In recognition of their visibility during the Visitation at Orithena, Yul and Cord are chosen to join the Arbran delegation aboard the Daban Urnud.
• Arrival and reunion: In the ship’s Core he reunites with Cord and Erasmas in microgravity. When a speelycaptor attempts a staged narration, Yul launches from the wall and body‑checks the man away, quipping about “conservation of momentum,” which earns chuckles from nearby soldiers.
• Opening ceremonies: He accompanies the delegation through transfers to an Urnudan orb where funeral honors and peace formalities are held around an elliptical water court. He notes that certain glass‑walled pavilions are effectively “aquariums” where local staff work without breathing gear.

Devices and security

• Issued device: Yul is given a small pill‑like item described to him as a delegate “tracking” aid. Upon learning privately that such devices are weapons tied to the “Everything Killers” contingency, he discreetly hands his unit to Erasmas. Cord follows suit with hers.

Founding at Saunt Orolo

• Site work: On the rubble island in the new crater‑lake dedicated to Saunt Orolo, Yul welds a tripod from scrap steel to suspend a cornerstone—cut as a cube from a fallen rod fragment—and manages the drop sequence beneath it. Moments before release, he pulls a bystander back to safety.
• Crossing the gap: With a fallen gantry serving as a partial causeway from shore, Yul is known to swim the remaining stretch and tow small boats in.
• Marriage: During the inaugural observances that follow the stone’s setting, Magister Sark officiates the union of Cord and Yul on the island.

Relationships and affiliations (updates)

• Cord: spouse; they travel and operate as a pair, later joining the delegation together and, at Orolo, marrying during the cornerstone observances.
• Ganelial Crade: cousin (“Gnel”); their ties are warm despite differing outlooks.

Description and traits

Practical, protective, and physically confident under pressure. Handy with welding and field fabrication, a strong swimmer, and quick to intervene when needed; adapts well to zero‑g and keeps a dry sense of humor when dealing with media and ceremony alike.

Current status / location

Present at the crater‑lake site dedicated to Saunt Orolo during Day Zero of the Second Reconstitution, assisting with construction on the island and shoreline. Newly married to Cord.
