Took me about four looks to realise he's a merchant of naïvité, not a merchant from some place called something like Naivon.
Fair point. I updated the spelling so that that jumps out at you. Though, I've always been a bit confused about the umlaut in naïvité, since the word is loaned from French and not German.
Okay... looked it up. Evidently it is a 'diaeresis' since it doesn't shift the vowel like an umlaut. diaeresis used to be important to show that both vowel sounds are intact and need to be pronounced, and, yes, French had them too. Well, now I know.
In frustration that nobody will ever notice how awesome it is that I put Jaffy from the flavor text of Balloon Peddler into the flavor text of Phantom Clothes Dealer, I am now going to squeeze Jaffy's name into the flavor texts of as many Spellshapers as I can. Poor Jaffy. He's in for some terrible adventures at the market festival...
