Warden Yrame

Line 46:

}}

{{name}} is the [[warden]] of {{favilink|Joppa}}.

== Character ==

Warden Yrame is a member of the [[Fellowship of Wardens]], and the warden of {{favilink|Joppa}}. She has four legs, "great horns", and "rime-veined hands." She is straightforward in her speech and isn't the warmest greeter for the village, stating she "en't here for chat" and stating that if the player makes trouble that it's "my work a-split you open like a croc." She does give some well wishes to the player though when told about certain quest activities though, like [[What's Eating the Watervine?]] and [[A Canticle for Barathrum]].

== Combat ==

Warden Yrame begins neutral to the player but will become hostile if the player attacked her or any [[villagers of Joppa]] within view of her, or if she witnesses the player stealing from one of the village's containers. She can also be made hostile if the player's [[reputation]] with the Fellowship of Wardens falls low enough.

=== Equipment ===

Warden is always equipped with {{favilink|chain mail}}, {{favilink|leather boots}}, and a {{favilink|vibro blade}}, which comes slotted with a fully charged {{favilink|chem cell}}. The vibro blade is a [[Vibro weapons|vibro weapon]], meaning its {{PV}}[[PV]] matches the {{AV}}[[AV]] value of the target it is being used against. It deals {{Heart}}{{dice tooltip|1d10}} damage.

Besides weapons and armor, Yrame also always possesses 3 {{favilink|waterskin|plural}} with varying volumes of {{favilink|water}}.<ref name="Object"><code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code></ref>

=== Skills ===

Yrame possesses three skills, [[Long Blade Proficiency]], [[Bow and Rifle]], and [[Endurance]]. Endurance grants her the [[Shake It Off]] skill. This allows her to more quickly recover from being [[dazed]] or [[stunned]], and reduces the damage and duration of [[poisoned|poison]].

=== Mutations ===

Warden Yrame possesses {{favilink|Multiple Legs}} at mutation level 6, {{favilink|Horns}} at level 8, {{favilink|Freezing Ray}} at level 9, and {{favilink|Regeneration}} at level 6.<ref name="Object"/> These together make her very fast and extremely dangerous both in melee combat and in ranged combat, and thus she is very hard to flee from once made hostile. Her Regeneration increases her [[HP#Losing and Gaining Hitpoints|natural regeneration]], occasionally cures her of status conditions, and allows her to regrow lost limbs.

== Traits ==

Warden Yrame always begins the game loved by the [[villagers of Joppa]]. She will never be hated by them, [[fish]], or [[dromad merchants]].

== Water Ritual ==

The player can perform the water ritual with Warden Yrame to trade secrets with her, or recruit her as a companion. She does not offer to teach the player any skills.

== Tips ==

* Yrame has powerful offensive mutations such as [[Freezing Hands]] and [[Horns]], as well as a {{favilink|vibro blade}}. This makes her a decent partner if the player manages to get enough Warden reputation to recruit her.

== Trivia ==

Warden Yrame was added to the game in the [[Version_history#207.31:_Spring_Molting_beta|Spring Molting]] update. Prior to this version, the warden of {{favilink|Joppa}} was a creature called Warden Ualraig. Yrame shares many similarities with Ualraig, including mutations and equipment. In comparison to Warden Yrame, this older iteration of Joppa's warden was less developed as a character. He only had only one line of dialogue:

{{Qud dialogue

|text=Ain't dey wishin' the heart keep pumpin'? Move 'long if dey do.

| title=Warden Ualraig}}

{{Qud dialogue:choice|

{{Qud dialogue:choice row|tonode=end|text=...}}}}

His description was "Big Ualraig shifts his weight between his hind and forelegs. He shakes dander off the chipped surface of the great curling horns that splay from his temples. One hand holds a purring blade. The other, lame and frostbitten, reminds us that while Mother Nature may bestow splendid gifts upon her children, she is still sister to Cruelty."

Regarding the changes to {{favilink|Joppa|possessive}} warden in the [[Version_history#207.31:_Spring_Molting_beta|Spring Molting]] update, Caelyn Sandel, a writer for Caves of Qud, has stated that in writing Yrame she intended to "ensure that the interpretation of her as the same person as Ualraig would remain valid"<ref name=caelyn2>Discord Message by Caelyn Sandel in the official Caves of Qud Discord:"it was my intention in writing Yrame to ensure that the interpretation of her as the same person as Ualraig would remain valid.
