They were selling tail hairs from unicorns and small pieces of horn. Small skeins of elf hair, and the shells of dragon eggs. Where did they get these? From bushes where hairs naturally were lost to shedding, places where pieces could be found where horns were scraped due to sharpening. From brushes after a being brushed their hair and threw the loose hairs from the brushes into leavings, and the shells were gathered, politely of course, by asking to clean the nest after the young had hatched and no longer needed them. -- Anon Guest
Charms were a common trade item amongst the roaming folk. They were easy enough to make, and the associated sales pitch simple enough to allow money to exchange hands. Of course, some were more honest than others in the making. For every gross of folk declaring their charms worthy for warding off all woes, there was one who listened to their potential customer and made the charm to fit.
Of the two varieties, the latter was more effective, but the former was more popular.
Raisel didn't mind. She much preferred to be honest, reliable, and kind. She much preferred to listen, and provide what her customers needed. She had some more generic ones, for protection against ill will, or to ward off disease, but some needed to be tailored and used in special cases.
