Fantasy Ikea - A vast and echoing hall presided over by a fairy lord turned legitimate merchant (or so they claim!), this oddly sedate bazaar’s household goods – carefully labelled in Old High Elvish – are apparently wholly mundane, though their purchasers often discover unexpected features later on. While it’s relatively safe as fairy markets go, mortal customers are advised against eating the complimentary meatballs.

Fantasy Lowe’s - Originally the headquarters of a dwarven crafting guild set apart from their fellows by their affinity for working in wood rather than stone, this establishment has since grown into a sprawling combination lumberyard and trading post whose workers spend as much time advising on outside projects as attending to their own. Oddly, the guild’s membership is nearly exclusively female, a fact that non-dwarf customers often miss on account of the beards.

Ok, now imagine that these spiders have largely been domesticated for their incredibly valuable silk. They help make clothes, rope, textiles, even ARMOR. They’re almost treated like carnivorous cows in the regions that can support them. They might even name these girls the classic names like “Bessie”. They’re great mothers and produce many young; useful for trade and… even food if you like The Crunch.

People in this world are hardly afraid of big spiders the same as we’re hardly afraid of big dogs. Wary of wild ones, but not scream and cry terrified. Smaller spiders…it depends. Would you be scared if you suddenly saw a tiny cow crawling on your wall? The only type of spider people collectively fear are the hunting types: the ones that don’t spin webs, and instead attack their prey with brute force and a much stronger venom.

These large domestic spiders are incredibly lazy. They’ll sit in their webs and wait for their handlers to put their food on the web. Unless you get tangled, they don’t see you as food. This makes them great guards as well. They build traps for you. The venom isn’t deadly to humans…but can still be used as a weapon or in medicine. They’re just so damn useful that millennia ago, people put aside their instinctual fear just to get those sweet benefits.
