I didn't know where to type this but I wanted to share it somehow and maybe reflect on it while I'm doing other stuff. And it came across to me that Tasselorns, possibly in my own world, are really into the business of trading and merchant systems. Bigger, stronger, Tasslorns work as mercenary companies that protect cargo or wipe out bandits or get hired for manual labor that can't be done with regular workers (like hunting beasts in the wilderness or wiping bandits ahead of exploration teams). There's also the merchants who have a strong trade connection with the trading community of silks and the northern giants. When traveling to the northern giants, they have to send word for a guide before they can travel to the cities there as only guides are able to show anyone the way to their territory. Without one, an outsider couldn't get pass the illusionist's cape over the city and would get lost and die. Shayura are the only ones that can see the city beyond the illusion but even then, they can't know exactly where the city is.

The northern giants has a rare currency made from a special rock that can reform itself into tokens or coins when pressed together like clay, but when the coins are torn apart, they revert back into their original crystal appearance as if untouched. For Tasselorns, this material is extremely valuable and sell for A LOT if they can get their hands on the vines where these giants mine them from. When Tasselorns sell the material back to their blacksmith, they can make powerful weapons that pierce their natural magic defenses or builds to it. Once the weapons are crafted, used by mercenaries, broken, then brought back to the blacksmith, the blacksmiths will sell the broken tools and weapons to the traveling merchants who return the items of this magical material to the northern giants for money. It's not completely useless to the giants. In fact, it's the opposite! The material stone they used for the weapons has gained spiritual energy through memories and emotions of the ones using them. Even the blacksmith's memories and feelings get absorbed into the material and gives it experience, making it more valuable. Once a wave of the material is cycled through the community and returned to the northern giants, it might reach a stage where it physically changes due to so much memories and emotions. This causes it to become a valuable glitter-like stone that can be worked into legendary masterpieces for the nobles of the northern giants.

As for the stone, I still need to polish how it exists and why it exists. But I do know it's floaty and glowy and has unusual mild levitation purposes.
