Snaptrap and Daughters

Snaptrap and Daughters is a spice shop in Tsiif Iltaa founded by Aran and Gwenn Arap.

History

Born in Mevi, Aran Wesley moved to Tsiif Iltaa as a means of escaping his abusive grandfather. Not interested in the prostitution business or wanting to make a name for himself fighting, he decided to open a spice shop to sell many of the locally grown herbs and spices to people visiting the city from afar. With the help of his father, he procured a small shop front and managed business well enough to maintain it.
In his work, he had many dealings with the Pelan.

and the traditional Ethite

It was through this work that he met his wife, Gwenn Arap. He eventually converted to the Epaluno faith and later to full Pelan status. As business improved, the Araps moved to a bigger storefront and renamed the business Arap's Spices.
Growing closer with the Pelan community also brought Aran improved relationships with passing Thisaazhou traders. Arap's spices became an additional link in a chain between the Thisaazhou, local farmers, and other businesses.

The shop also connected the Thisaazhou to the traditional Ethite community.

Thisaazhou would pick up spices directly from the farmers and offer their goods to Aran to sell in his shop. Aran would then repay the farmers from his proceeds. Though the Thisaazhou provided him with a variety of items from across the southern continent, the most prized goods he acquired from them were their maps.
At one time, the shop began to lose business due to forgers selling fake Thisaazhou maps. Fortunately, his wife, who had grown up interacting with the Thisaazhou, knew how to recognize the forgeries and helped the local enforcers to find and stop the forger. This earned her the name Mrs. Snaptrap among the Thisaazhou. Embracing this, the Araps renamed the store Snaptrap Spice and Sundry. This garnered them even more fame and business as people who had heard the story flocked to the shop, which soon had to move a second time.
The new fame brought them so much business that two branch Snaptrap Spice and Sundry shops

The original store in Tsiif Iltaa underwent an additional name change, however, when the Araps' first child was born, becoming Snaptrap and Daughter: Spice and Sundry Shop. An -s was added to the word daughter two years later when the Araps' second child was born. Snaptrap and Daughters remains a staple of the Tsiif Iltaa sights, where any tourist would be a fool not to at least visit, if not to find some rare and hard-to-locate items.
