A weekend at the Arena features competitions of a much more savory flavor. Until Monday's coliseum matches are announced, talonok grillmasters delight their audience with acrobatics and aromatics alike. But it's not all kosher, even if it is tasty. Some chefs use Showman's Arowana to communicate their next bets secretly - a flash of scale here, and there a flick of fins under acutely angled sunlight... It's practically interminable and thus, perhaps you begin to see, quite profitable.
It's true the Ringscale Arowana is not an humble fish, but did you know some Ice clans even consider it holy? Before crossing the Reclaimer's Glacier, drakes drink a strong, oily tea made from three of its golden scales. These represent the dawn, the day, and the dusk of one's life. Savor it now, while you can. The Reclaimer's journey is always longer than the day it's undertaken...
Once, a young mith doctor was ambushed by Death Seeker-s more enterprising than she. Her Florist's Satchel was abandoned on the tundra where it froze, forgotten for millennia. But the wares within included a rare and powerful seed, and long after the mith's time, the seed rooted, broke ice, and headed for the sky. Those who seek its medicine must scale its newly minted crown, where among its thorns and fruits that same old satchel still hangs on high...

Anything can happen in Arcane country, which makes security a highly lucrative concern. Even the quaintest little shoppe can be made a spectacle of itself, warped by the proprietor's own lofty hopes and dreams. The Islet's Archives is one of the more notorious clients in the industry for two reasons: 1) It's a library and 2) It's well maintained. Go figure, right? It makes more sense if you're native - or so the natives say.
In its raw form Infused Crystal is Fool's Gold, dearly desired then cast away by disgusted prospectors. Naturally, a mineral gets ideas about itself and its worth, and there's no dissuading them unless you've got the astral touch. Naturally, a mineral finds itself attracted to the Islet's magnitude and, naturally, the resident Archivist employs them as torches.
Among juicy scrolls and even juicier students, they absorb their surrounding stories, thoughts, and energies. Those positively influenced emit a pinkish incense when doused, which is captured for visitors' safety and amusement. You can buy Encapsulated Mist from the gift shop on your way out, but please do only think happy thoughts when reading by crystalight...
