a NPC town with an official currency

When it comes to the idea of something like salem's providence i think it would harm the lonely feeling this game is supposed to have, but...

I dunno, I'm really just picturing the NPC market from Salem mostly. The fairies will trade you 3 dewdrops for 10 dandelions and you can trade 15 dewdrops for a Fairy Pouch (otherwise unobtainable pocket gilding,) while this fairy over here will trade you a single Q20 acorn for 10 dewdrops etc etc. Randomize it a bit so the deals can be better or worse, make some of them limited stock per day, or per spawn, or something, maybe there's a quest fairy in the middle that the whole thing spawns around, who gives you dewdrops for quests, and the whole thing is basically just a Supertoad, bingo done.

this is a goated idea.
