Named for the yew tree that grows on the cliff above the cove, and the particular scrape of its roots against the shell-bed when the tide draws out.
Power
Shellcraft — you can shape sediment and shell hash into solid forms, but every creation crumbles after a day, and you feel each grain you used crumbling in your own bones.
