@davej "Venetians" (or "Wahles", like they were sometimes called) were a whole Thing in German folklore. They were portrayed as strange foreign mages who went to Germany in disguise and use magical methods in order to extract the gold, silver, gemstones and other treasures of the German mountain ranges without the locals realizing what they were up to.Their character could vary - some were malicious, but others were very generous, in particular to people who had helped them in some way.Here are a bunch of stories about them:https://wiki.sunkencastles.com/wiki/Category:Wahles
