==Description==
Yali is a deity whose influence has grown immensely over the years as strife constantly seems to plague the halflings.  Those seeking love, happiness and a good life often invoke Yali.  Yali is the younger sister of Weselayn and together their influence brought an era of great success to the Halfling people.  Yali herself is somewhat coppery skinned from the sun and has short, raven colored hair that is slightly curly.  Her eyes are a dark jade and she has a slight build for a Halfling. 
==Basic Beliefs and Dogma==
Love your family and your home.  Enjoy life and spread happiness and your family will grow and prosper.  In times of strife, families will turn to Yali for happiness and joy - a thing Yali says everyone needs in troubled times to keep a happy and healthy home.  Yali enjoys children and encourages her followers to have children .  Children are the future, says Yali, and they can bring happiness to a home better than most things.  Reversely, Yali hates those who would prey on or harm a child and encourages her followers to persecute such people as the danger to the home that they are.  Enjoy life, love deeply, laugh often, and keep your children safe.
