Yen-Wang-Yeh is a faithful bureaucrat, and he does his job with maximum efficiency - which is probably why he's such a humorless blood. See, he categorizes the spirits of the primes who worship the pantheon, and then sends them off through portals to their just rewards. It's up to him to make sure lawful and good spirits go to Mount Celestia, while a berk who follows evil ends up on the right Lower Plane.

'Course, whenever Yen-Wang-Yeh travels to Mechanus to present his records to the Celestial Bureaucracy, many spirits end up breaking free and roaming about in places they shouldn't. The deity's assistants just aren't up to doing the job on their own, and the sods often gen replaced (though Pao, a human Godsman who keeps excellent record of each spirit's assignment, serves his master well).

The Palace of Judgement is a huge, sprawling affair, filled with offices, cubicles, and paperwork. Ogre magi and other fell beasts serve as enforcers and examiners of the spirits, and no visitor's allowed to walk around without an official guide (or guard). The realm is stultifyingly boring, though, and it gets so bad that the petitioners often make a break for it.
