Notes
- She says multiple times in the game that she belongs to the "Order of the Word", even though such an order doesn't exist, and she actually belongs to the "Order of the Quill". This is most probably a developer oversight due to a late stage of development change in name.[2][3]
Behind the scenes
Yearling's name and her job of collecting books may be a reference to Yearling Books, an imprint of the publishing company Random House.
