Personal history

Alvis Drealf was born to herbalists parents that frequently ventured into the Flaxen Fields. The did live in Yclarta proper, but where on the outskirts of the town and in a nearby forest. While he respected his parents work he himself was not a great herbalist like they were. When it became clear that Alvis would not be following in his parents footsteps they decided to send him off to a school near Dragon's Ridge. Hoping that he might find his way in the world.
It was at this school that Alvis discovered his aptitude for magic. He studied with some of the masters and was very capable of using magic to solve problems. Being near Dragon's Ridge Alvis had heard the stories of how difficult it was to pass through the mountains. During Alvis' time people still went along the mountains the long way because of the heavy fog that stayed around even when the sun rose which made safe travel through the mountains impossible. Alvis thought of the problem for a long time and how he could help guide travelers through the fog easily. Alvis also studied the fog and tried to burn it away through various means.
Alvis noticed that magical fire seemed to keep the fog at bay a little longer than something like a torch lit with flint and steel. He created a spell to allow the fire to be contained in a lantern without oil. He found that he had to concentrate on the flame in order to keep it into existence, but it seemed to burn away the fog. As he walked further into the fog would slowly fill in behind him, but it was a start. Alvis went back to the school and revealed to his masters what he had discovered. They went back with him to the base where the fog was and he showed them in person. He proposed that they place several posts inside the mountain and have wizards maintain the flames throughout the day so travelers could make it through the mountain safely. It took many talks and trial runs, but eventually Alvis established what would be known as the fog burners group. They would maintain the flames along the mountain pass in the day and they were also hired as guides for both day and night travel since it was they who could conjure the flames that burned the fog away.
The lit path allowed for merchants to travel through the mountains and supplies traveled more quickly throughout Senmir.
