History

I'vau has taken to travelling throughout Annexea to study with foreign and domestic herbalists in the interest of discovering new herbs with medicinal or esoteric properties. He is often found speaking to village herbalists and physicians about local plants, animals, or minerals which they source locally. He is compiling a personal catalogue of source ingredients, as well as recipes when he can get them. He goes on such an expedition about once every three years, and takes several months to visit as many new places as he can before returning home to reflect upon his newly gained knowledge.

His motivation in these travels is predominantly profit, as a wider selection of recipes and ingredients offers him the chance for more valuable products. He sees the risk of travelling personally as worth it to get his information first hand, saving time trying to experiment with vague descriptions or misinterpreted recipes he might obtain working through middle-persons. To further fund his expeditions, he sidelines as a trader in the exotic ingredients he collects.

I'vau has earned himself guild credentials in the Herbalists and Alchemists Guilds in the nations of Aralia, Kythus, Tabras, Quzonia, and Waejir. He is only considered a licensed physician in Aralia, the nation of his birth.
