The "Nurse Joy' Effect

Ilhacia is full of strange beasts and creatures founding the wildlands, but some oddities can be found within the people of Ilhacia. One such oddity is what is known as the "Nurse Joy" effect. There are certain folks wandering Ilhacia that have doppelgangers all over the world. While no one alive really knows how this occurred, these folks tend to certain jobs and characteristics that tie them together beyond being identical. While all of them can trace their lineages back to the main family line, when they mate with any other race or gender, the offspring will always come out identical. Some theorize that the family was cursed by an ArchFae or maybe dabbled in dark magic only the original family holds the origin of this doppelganger phenomenon. All of them are considered by the majority of the populous to be a strange combination of a Fae race and humanoid race that was cursed due to the blasphemy of the mating of these races, though the work these families tend to do have endeared them to the popular minimizing the racist stigma that plagued them in the earlier years of the current era. These families are also thought to be the oldest in Ilhacia, claiming to even be around from the time before the Three Kings

The Dracal Family

specializes in merchant services in Ilhacia, finding their calling at the local general stores. While finding specialized or high-end items is rare, the Dracals will often partner with local artisans, enchanters, and craftsmen to provide specialty items (60-70% chance of special items). While a centralized merchant typically breeds many issues in the economy, these partnerships as well as other regulations, self-imposed and Suite imposed, keeps the Dracal store from being a monopoly. The Dracals are also known for working with the locals who are interested in business as mentors and employers as their business has come to rely heavily on good relations with the townspeople and their integration in the community in which they operate.

The Dracal family line is patriarchal, causing the doppelganger effect only in males. These men stand about 6' 3" tall and have a lean and lithe build. Their chocolate brown hair may be done up in varying ways and cut at different lengths, but the rounded brown eyes, full lips, and steep jawline are characteristic of the family. You can find this familiar face in nearly every Dracal general store.
