As a Court Tutor, Belvan led a very regimented life.
He would generally wake up at the second crowing of the rooster in the morning and personally go to the kitchen to enjoy his meal, then head to his study and laboratory, where he would stay for an hour. Afterward, he would pray alone, beseeching Hiris to bless his research to go smoothly while also asking God for his own safety. For a long time in the prayers of this alchemist, the two Divine beings kept to their respective roles without interfering with each other.
After his prayers, Belvan would start two hours of reading, during which time he might enjoy a glass of malt liquor, depending on the situation—sometimes it was honey wine, but never grape wine, which wasn't a favorite among Dwarves.
