Nobody really knows when the first silk spider was domesticated, or even how the strands it spins were discovered to be able to be woven into the strong yet light fabric of the same name. What is certain is that silk spider tending has been a profession since before the Aegis was raised. Regardless, Silk Farming is considered a very dangerous profession, tended to by families who have worked in the substance for generations. Entire lineages of silk spiders have been cataloged, and there is much prestige to be had in being able to tend the temperamental and fragile creatures.

abstract	Nobody really knows when the first silk spider was domesticated, or even how the strands it spins were discovered to be able to be woven into the strong yet light fabric of the same name. What is certain is that silk spider tending has been a profession since before the Aegis was raised. Originally the exclusive purview of the Zahir, the chaos in the wake of the betrayals early in that House's career made it possible for other Houses to obtain the spiders and the secrets of keeping them alive and spinning. Now, all noble houses have their own silk families, and the fabric - while still rare - is no longer exclusive to the House of Ravens. Silk Spiders are not found in the wild, though some Wildlanders who have seen the beasts have compared them to the Emerald Spiders found in the high canopy of the Verdegris. Escaped silk spiders usually do not last through the winter, as their silk has been bred for its weaving qualities, and their webs, while strong, are not terribly useful for catching prey. Regardless, Silk Farming is considered a very dangerous profession, tended to by families who have worked in the substance for generations. Entire lineages of silk spiders have been cataloged, and there is much prestige to be had in being able to tend the temperamental and fragile creatures.
