Background. Yin and Yang used to be Dragonborns of great power and prestige. They were siblings, with Yang being the younger female Cleric and Yin being the older male Sorcerer centuries ago. After they both died killing a powerful force of chaos, both their souls were sucked into two twin blades, after which they lost most of their memories and came to be known as Yin and Yang due to their power, sentience, and opposing powers. |
