With the monster hunts going on, a secretive, but flourishing, black market has popped up again—the buying, selling, and trading of monster parts.
Unscrupulous entrepreneurs have begun peddling all kinds of items: bones, teeth and pieces of horn and hide; more arcane elements, such as fantastical substances, pieces of crystals and jars of dust; magical residue and bizarre remnants.
Some people are willing to pay outrageous prices for these things.
There are rumors and superstitions about all kinds of fantastical effects—medical, magical, lucky or amorous—attributed to various monster parts, both from previous hunts, and the current ones.
