Yin Jia

Yin Jia is a legendary figure in Voranth, and even beyond the borders of that great empire. A mysterious woman at the heart of the court of the Twin Emperors of Voranth in Tianjing, Yin Jia is claimed to have already been alive when Nuwa's Prophet was burned at the stake. By such reckoning already over 500 years old and far past the natural lifespan of a human woman, Yin Jia is the object of many legends, rumours, and superstitions. Though the existence of Yin Jia and her presence at the court are not disputed, some claim that her longevity is the result of consorting with borderworld demons, while others say that Nuwa has gifted her with eternal life. Another theory goes that Yin Jia is actually an identity that has been adopted by different people at different times. Whatever the truth, Yin Jia is certainly one of the greatest sorcerers in the known world.
