Aviyon, the great wanderer

Write about a person who lives on in myth. How do their fabled acts differ from their real life?
Eviyon, the great wanderer. Is the persoon who visited all of the Kadi clans during the cold age, who brought wisdom, who mapped the routes and who started the tradition of exchanging small envoys with resources.
When the climate got colder during the time of chiefs, the once bustling trading routes between all the dwarven clans became harder and harder to travel frequently, especially during the colder months. Eventually they only travelled during the brief summer months, and became more and more self sufficient out of necessity. Eventually, the clans stopped travelling all together.
After a massive volcano eruption, the clans nearest were hit hard by a volcanic winter, cutting their harvest short. Driven by hunger and the desire to bring back necessary goods, they send out an envoy to the nearest clans. Bringing all they could spare to trade for food. Once they arrived at the new clan, they found that they too were in need of things. So they agreed to send envoys after every volcanic eruption between the clans.
In their quest to become self sufficient however, they also forgot the locations of some of the clans. One person really wanted to connect the tribes again: Aviyon. Eviyon was convinced that only through cooperation the clans would survive the changing climate. Eviyon's. Parents were attacked by wild beasts while on the road. She was only a small child back then, and she was riding in the cart when it happened. She hid and her parents tried to fight off the beasts. But these animals they had never seen in this region before. Probably Driven south by the changing climate, her parents did not know how to fight it and were fighting a losing battle. As their strenth was waning, a traveller from another clan saw them and grabbed his .. bow.. and shot one of the beasts, precisely in its weak spots near .. .. the leader.. He made a strange sound that scared off the other beasts. He quickly tended their wounds, gave them some herbs against the venom and brought them back to their home. There they recieved more care from the village and eventually recovered. But only partly. Her parents would be unable to properly walk or work anymore. Aviyon was given to the care of another family as her parents could no longer provide for her. The village helped where they could however, giving food, firewood and such. Aviyon didn't know the name of the stranger, he introduced himself as .. Nagreadi .., meaning stranger. And said that he came from the .. northern ... Kadi clan. As she was given so much help by others, she wanted to give something back. Especially to the stranger that helped them on the road. Without his help, skills and knowledge, she and her parents would have never survived.
So she committed herself to learning to fight using the .. bow? .. a weapon unique to her clan. And she tried to learn about all the plants and herbs in her area. Learning about building techniques, hunting strategies, tending wounds, recipes and many more essential skills. She tried to master it all, but soon discovered she was impatient and couldnt master all the skills fast enough. So she would draw or write down in such detail, a dedicated Apprentice of the trade would be able to use it to learn the skill from it. She would make 3 copies of every scroll. One to give to the care of the village .. protector/teacher .. One for herself to study, and one to eventually give away to another clan. There hadn't been any contact between the clans for over 100 years, as the volcano lay dormant for an unusually long period, apart from this one stranger. Aviyon had a particular knack for botany and mapmaking. So she started to map out the region surrounding her clan. And asked all of her village clanmembers where they had travelled and if they could explain the route. Once she became the age of .. 50 (dwarves live up to 200 years) .. She wanted to set out to find the clans by herself. But when she was only 35, the volcano erupted again. Violently after it's long dormant period. And the village harvest was cut short by the volcanic winter that followed. Forced by hunger Aviyon left, along with a few others to find the nearest clan that wasn't hit so hard, to see if they could trade for some food. Aviyon mapped the entire journey and eventually they reached another clan. They had some food to spare and gave it to them. Abiyon asked if they needed anything in return, and discovered that they needed completely different things than what she had been studying and writing. :( her companions travelled back with the food but Aviyon stayed; obsessed by all the new things she could learn here, and things she could teach them. Over time she discovered that many of the needs the other clan had, were solved by the skills she taught them, albeit indirectly. So she kept on learning, and writing, and took on a few followers. Where Aviyon excelled in botany and mapmaking, she took on only followers .. And.. who outskilled her in other respects. So that she could not only teach them, but they could also teach her. .. .. After 5 years of teaching and learning, the volcano erupted again. Even though no hunger drove her this time, she felt the need to travel again, and share her skills and knowledge further. Torn between the desire to go back home, and to find the nagreadi, she set out again with her followers.

Tldr; she learned all the botany and maps of the world. She wrote down all other skills. And she travelled from clan to clan sharing this knowledge. Triggered by each volcanic eruption, she travelled and shared. She depth of knowledge she brought made others follow her. Example. And each clan would train a few of their clan members with skills and knowledge, and send them out every time the volcano erupted. Aviyon became not just the name of a person, but of a profession: the one who learns and writes down skills to share.
