The Yerhva

The Yerhva's exterior design

## Description

The Yerhva is an automaton designed by Charlie Montague and voiced by Fia Zborowska that is set up in a form of a trivia game. It asks Colt 10 questions and promises to reveal the secret of its provenance if they get all the answers correct. If all questions are answered correctly, a recording of Charlie Montague plays, telling them about where they found the Yerhva, and they will also get a Gone Commando Trinket.

Most answers can be gathered from the How Well Do YOU Know Blackreef documents.

If visited during the morning, there are two Eternalists inside the building, attempting the game.
