The Makers and the Threaders
Within the Alvian schools of magic, there were two main philosophical doctrines. One school was dedicated to infusing magic into objects. They were called the Makers. The artefacts they constructed could be everyday objects or more powerful, offensive, and defensive ones, such as the rods of powers (powerods).
The other school was more interested in working with the magical fauna, flora and entities that had colonised Alven following the opening of the portals. They call themselves The Threaders. Much of the magic they made was based on the plants they used for clothes and potions. The Threaders could also bond with animals, and it was said that some could also shapeshift.
Some powerful Alviars had even worked out how to summon entities or objects from other planes, but these were rare and tended to have their own cult or following being seen as 'superhuman' by their compatriots. These mages were extremely powerful and rare. They tended to be seen by humans as demigods and avatars of deities.
When the Alviars disappeared from Alven, myths and religious practices were built around them. They were celebrated as 'the Ancestors', and many shrines were built in their honour throughout Alven in the third millennium of the clans' history. Their myths became intertwined with the Earthling's myths and religion. The word 'Alven' is derived from 'Alvia', the original land of the Ancestors.
