Iryuu

Rock wizards in The Crystal Highlands of Armaria claim Iryuu's methods are unconventional, but a work of pure genius. The truth is, Iryuu just really loves toast. On the day of their biggest trade negotiation, they were running late, a piece of berry jam toast in hand. A misstep on the crystalline path sent the snack flying, smearing a perfect purple streak across a dormant monolith. As Iryuu frantically tried to wipe it clean, the rock began to hum, emitting a soft, warm light that soothed agitated magical energies. The buyers, a council of mages, were astounded. They mistook the breakfast mishap for a bold, alchemical demonstration and awarded Iryuu a contract making them wealthier than they'd ever dreamed. They've since adopted the lantern-on-the-head look, finding that if they act eccentric enough, no one questions why their most valuable trade secret smells faintly of burnt sugar.
