Eadaioir

Type: Silkmonger

Eadaioirs are traders in fairysilk, a rare and magical kind of silk which they can only get from the realm of Faerie. It is expensive, magical, and costs the silkmonger something profound to be able to sell. To gain the power to sell it, they must make a deal with the powerful fey who have a monopoly on it. There is no way to learn to use it otherwise; it requires the person make a deal that costs them part of their memories, history, soul, True Name and identity, body or blood, skills, emotions, anything about them that should not be salable and will cost them dearly to depart with.

Once they have made the deal, they gain one magical ability - the ability to sell fairysilk, which is somehow forbidden to anyone else via powerful magicks - but they can buy others. Most eadaioir buy abilities that allow them demonstrate the magic of fairysilk and wield its properties as well, which costs them even more. And then they spend their lives trying to buy back what they lost. Some of the abilities they usually have are as follows:

• Fairysilk trader: the ability to sell or trade it is bound to them magically.
• Glamouring drape: if they drape it over their shoulders, they may glamour themselves.
• Impressive ripple: they can ripple the silk and make it more appealing to those who wish to buy it.
• Spun armor: they can wrap themselves in it and wear it as a +7/+7 armor.
• Dance of the worms: they can dance with a sheet of the silk and expand it, summoning more of it magically from the worms who make it.
• Choking bind: they can tie some of it in a knot and twist it to choke someone from a distance.
• Color change: they can shake it to change its color.

There are many other things they can do with it if they pay for it. Some, however, do find ways to wield its powers once they have paid for some abilities without paying for new ones.

Smeach

Type: Moneychanger

Pronounced "smahck". Smeachs are moneychangers who use magical fairy metals to swap out and trick people. To find and use fairy metals, they must either luck into them, trick or make a deal with a powerful fey to get them, or study and learn the lore of them to be able to find and use them.

Smeachs are usually people who work as moneychangers or in financial situations in Faerie or fey regions, but who come to the local regions for some reason (often for scamming the wrong person). Their money is still valuable and legal tender, but it often has powers over the ones who use it, making them... controversial at best. But it also means desperate or greedy people often come to them. Their magic not forbidden, but it is frowned upon.

To learn to wield the lore, even if they gain the magic in a quick way, they still need to learn about fey metals and how they work. They also need a source of the metals. Some gain these metals with their deals, but most have to earn, buy, trade for, find, inherit, or otherwise acquire it in their backstory. Some of the metals they may have include the following:

Tradalai

Type: Trader

A fey trader who collects magical debts. These traders gain their ability to take esoteric debts in a deal with a powerful fey being, taking on a debt of their own, agreeing to give up a certain percentage of debts to the fey in exchange. The percentage ranges from 1/7 to 6/7, depending on how badly they haggled.

To gather magical debts, a tradalai must have things worth trading away. They gain this from their fey benefactor, an initial magical service they can offer someone, and for which they must charge something abstract and powerful to start things off. Then it becomes a matter of making good trades. The tradalai keep books that seem mundane, but which have invisible ink that keeps records of the esoteric debts. People come to them to for mundane things, magical things, or abstract things. They gather abstract and magical things - True Names, years of life, memories, stories, abilities, etc. - stack up and give them great magical power.

During character generation, they will roll 2d4 to see how many things they have, then a d100 enough times to pick out what they end up with. If they roll a power they already have due to their species, they may reroll. If they do this three times in a row, they simply don't get a power for that roll.
