Rhoswen, a fairy merchant, lives on the enchanted plane of Annwyn. To purchase the items that overflow from the leathery saddlebags of her gryphon steed, one must find her and ask about her wares.

Rhoswen's Wares

Cone of black flora incense - 50gp
Shaped like an elongated triangle, this multilayered incense cone is black as night. Fragile to the touch and easily crumbled, the pungent aroma of black flora is heady and intense in this compact form.
Cone of mint chocolate incense - 50gp
Shaped like an elongated triangle, this multilayered incense cone is a two-toned mesh of green and brown. Fragile to the touch and easily crumbled, the mouth-watering and appetising smells of chocolate and mint are heady and intense in this compact form.
Ccone of Annwyn nights incense - 50gp
Shaped like an elongated triangle, this multilayered incense cone is an ever-changing display of colour. Fragile to the touch and easily crumbled, the heart-pounding and exciting scents of Annwyn at night are heady and intense in this compact form.
Cone of vanilla incense - 50gp
Shaped like an elongated triangle, this multilayered incense cone is subtle shade of cream. Fragile to the touch and easily crumbled, the comforting and delectable aroma of warm vanilla is heady and intense in this compact form.
Cone of apple incense - 50gp
Shaped like an elongated triangle, this multilayered incense cone is a screaming shade of red. Fragile to the touch and easily crumbled, the sweet fragrance of country apple is heady and intense in this compact form.
Polished jade pipe - 500gp
A long ivory stem extends from the jade bowl of this exotic-looking pipe. The stout bowl is perfectly oblong and has been rubbed with a fragrant resin that causes an aromatic scent to waft through the air when smoked. A trio of knobs are whittled into the base of the long stem, ensuring a good grip on the polished stone.
Miniature crystalline brazier - 250gp
A trio of slender golden legs supports the rounded, crystal bowl making up the bulk of this miniature brazier. With a high lip running the circumference of the crystal, the centre of the brazier is surprisingly deep and hollow. Engraved on all sides of the crystal are images of fairies in flight. A steady hand has gilded the pictographs with gold and a rainbow of shimmering, jewel-like colours, causing the artwork and brazier to glitter like a priceless treasure when illuminated.
Garland of periwinkles - 100gp
Intense purplish-blue flowers nestle amid a sea of glossy green leaves woven into a garland. Flowering white buds offset the magnificent colour of the periwinkle blooms, and an absence of wilting in the petals suggests they were just picked for this decorative purpose. A slender silken thread runs through the entirety of the garland, keeping the fragile circlet together.
Fairy-shaped amber vial - 300gp
Tawny, golden amber has been meticulously excavated from the shores of Tirfo Thuinn and manipulated into the shape of a fairy. Almost entirely translucent, the interior of the gem statuette has been hollowed out to be filled with a variety of liquids by its owner. Rich, dark cognac colours shade the arched wings as they rise stately from the slim form of the fae that makes up the body of the vial. The shapely female physique possessed by the vial is modestly adorned in flowing robes that have been stylised to ripple around her feet, creating the illusion of the fairy being in flight. Clutched between her hands is a silver stopper shaped into a flowering rose, preventing the liquid inside the vial from sloshing out.
Pewter goblet - 500gp
This heavy silver-grey goblet demands attention in its sheer uniqueness. A scalloped, fluted stem carved into the likeness of a goddess-like nymph upholds a brimming petal-shaped cup. As fine as any statuette, the life-like, moving images of dragons, fairies, unicorns, and gryphons parade upon the chalice upon a flowering rose vine that wraps around the circumference of the goblet. The magical designs are accented, and perhaps given birth, by the effervescent liquid shimmering inside. A dozen motes of light zip and zing from the interior of the goblet and burst like miniature fireworks in the air.
