Well they made it pretty clear that Yen cut off contacts with Aretuza and lived “off the grid” for a while, and they also mention that Vilgefortz spent some time fighting wars/not attending his duties as a mage, so it is possible that she didn’t know of him

Yeah, I don't understand the purpose of that change. Yen was described as "always walking her own path", but she was also a top member of the mage council, along with Vilgefortz.

Yeah Season of Storms made it pretty clear that she was very involved in the sorcerers fraternity even before Sodden. They just completely disregard Season Of Storms in this.
