 Unique services in Urbo Ĉielarko.

 

    Urbo Ĉielarko hosts a number of goods and services beyond what one would normally find in lesser cities. A growing list of some of these rarities follows:

    Beignets by Dierdre.

    

        An entrepreneurial Witch known as Dierdre runs a popular and pricey beignet stand that sells a limited number of fritters each day. Each one of these delectable treats costs 50 gp, limit one per customer. Not only are they delicious, but they have healing properties as well. anyone who eats one of these beignets will be healed for 1-8 hp. An eater must be conscious and able to chew to reap this benefit. Also, they only keep for a few days so if any adventurers wish to make use of these beignets they must purchase and use them for each adventure or they go to waste. They sell out fast so each time an adventurer wishes to purchase one they must roll and there is a %50 chance they will have sold out. She keeps her recipe a closely guarded secret and none have yet been able to replicate them.

Among their collective achievements, one of the most relevant to the bipedal races of Urbo Ĉielarko is their near total dominance in the regional delivery industry. The cats of Urbo Ĉielarko seem to know how to find just about anyone and have established themselves as reliable couriers of small parcels throughout the city. They work cheaply too. Treats to take a package and treats upon delivery. Other than that, it's a mystery to everyone but the cats how this system works out. Woe to anyone who disrupts a puss conducting business for it is known that they never forget a face. 

 

  Same turn delivery from the Golden Emporium.

  The golden emporium is an exclusive merchant syndicate that offers a unique service. With the purchase of their one-use "golden fulfillment bands" the customer is privileged with access to the inventory of the Golden Emporium. The bands work as such:  A 2" diameter golden ring and a treated piece of parchment is sold for 100gp. The owner of one of these rings may write down the description of a common item on the included parchment and then insert the rolled up parchment plus the normal GP value of the requested item into the ring which must beheld horizontally. The parchment and fee is teleported to a fulfillment center and within 1-10 rounds the item requested will be teleported through the ring to the to the customer, provided that it fits through. The ring disappears afterwards.  

 Yonderbranch

     Yonderbranches are fledgeling branches carefully removed from a unique tree species, Yondertrees.

After removal, the wound is covered with a special resin and sap compound that sustains it for years. The bond between the tree and branch is strong and results in the branches displaying a magnet-like behavior.

     If the branch is placed on a surface of placid water, the tip of a point, or in a position that allows it to freely rotate, it will turn until the resin end points to its tree of origin. These branches are used by explorers and navigators, especially in tandem with compass', to triangulate positions and keep from getting lost in difficult terrain. It will also tilt depending on altitude and can help to assess depth underground.

    Most yonderbranches purchased in Urbo Ĉielarko will point back to the city but found branches may have origins elsewhere. In Urbo Ĉielarko they cost 50GP and help you when make rolls for getting lost in the wilderness.
