According to WoB: "There are three races on Yolen. There's humans, there's Sho Del, and there's dragons" (Arcanum Unbounded release party, November 22, 2016). Remember that the original Shardholders were all Yolish, including Leras, Ati and Rayse (Preservation, Ruin and Odium), who were all human. Hoid is also Yolish and was once a human.

If you're wondering what a Sho Del is, they "fill the same niche in the fain ecosystem that humans fill in the normal one", whatever that means (fain are comparable to parasitic plants). Ambition's Shardholder, Uli Da, is the only Sho Del we know of.

Currently, the population of Yolen is small enough that "it is a number that you could count to reasonably" (Calamity Chicago signing, February 22, 2016), and as the only known inhabitant is Frost, a dragon, it's possible that all of Yolen's current inhabitants are dragons, although the above WoB states that there are three races on Yolen, present tense.

No.

For example Hoid (and all the original vessels) are from Yolen.
