More fun to have Paarfi be revealed as Pel.  Using a Yendi instead of
Sethra means you could get some *really* baroque speculations going
trying to figure out exactly what plot publishing 'Paarfi's romances'
are meant to advance - on Earth or Dragaera.....  

Besides - remember that speculation about how Paarfi is still alive,
considering some of what he's written and the duel-happy nature of some
of the noble Houses?  Remember, no-one knows where a Yendi lives, which
argues that a Yendi is also the most logical choice if you're looking
for someone who can remain anonymous despite having very good sorcerors
trying to find out who he is so they can deliver their critiques in
person.

And the really obvious point - Paarfi and Pel both begin with a P.
