Lore - Pixie Messenger Service (Patreon)
Content
The pixie messenger service is below the Night Market streets. Within a low hanging cavern, the pixies conduct the biggest trade within the market, being responsible for generating most of the commerce while also solely responsible for long distance communication. Pay enough of a fee, and they can even get a message outside of the market walls to different realms. As long as a scroll or letter have the specific pixie stamp, the pixies will come when no one is looking, snatch up the message, and get it to where it needs to go. Guaranteed.
However, because they are the only sanctioned messenger service within the Night Market, not everyone is happy with their services. Whenever another company tries to pop up, they quickly fail. Whether from fire or a general disappearance, any modicum of success within another messenger service is short-lived. And while no one can tie it back to the pixies, they do have powerful fae connections. More than likely they are cutting out the competition before competition is formed.
Furthermore, if someone is so inclined, they can petition the pixies to not deliver certain letters or packages. Getting in good with the pixies is perhaps the smartest move anyone could make within the market. But, when making these pixie deals, it is important to be careful with how a request is phrased. Because pixies are notorious at finding loopholes.
After a pixie service is complete, a gift of spun sugar is preferred. They take other payments, but the small wisps of candy floss are their favorites. A pixie always remembers and may not be quite so prompt to a customer that has stiffed them.
