I mean we can always use stories as trade. Fey do love their stories after all. Maybe a tale of one of our adventures in Valyria?

Crafting in the general line is fairly standard at least until you get up to Mythic feats.
Runecrafting is nonstandard.
To be fair to offering lore for lore, it would likely be quickly accepted with no quibbling, since it is such an "appropriate" trade for Fey to make.

Just stay with the Runecrafting.
It's not a bad thing to share.

Just standard enchanting? They have that.
Access to your collection of rituals on the other hand might work.

They like stories, but paired with some kind of trinket to remember the story by. Here's a list of Valyria loot:
Something from there should make for a good trade.First Valyrian Expedition Loot:
Loot:
Dragonsteel Seer's Bowl
6 sets of Ancient Reinforced Segmented Valyrian Steel Fullplate
6 Valyrian Steel Greatswords4 Valyrian Steel Greatswords (2 given as a reward to the Mantarys Fighters for a job well done)
Valyrian Documents and Books (Unresearched)
Firewyrm Egg
Enchanted Silver Mirror
Bones of Saenena's Valyrian Dragon
Scrolls of Forbidden Lore
Description: Wrought of gleaming steel, of rusted iron, of fine crystal, or humble clay, all these scrolls have one thing in common—the script upon them is that of dragons, and within them can be read secrets that would have seen even the most noble of sorcerers put to death in the waning days of the Freehold.
Ability: Can be used in a functioning Flesh Forge to reconstruct Draconic forms including: Spellscale, Draconian, and Kobold. The notes on shaping a True Dragon are incomplete, likely intentionally so.1 Set of Sundered Soul ShacklesThat Which Devours
Description: This golden blade shines slickly in the light of the mage lanterns as though dipped in oil, seals of power upon its face seem to move like worms when seen out of the corner of the eye.
Base enchantment: +1 Vorpal Sword
Powers (only usable by a Rakshasa, UMD DC 35 to emulate):
A creature slain by either a coup de grace or the weapon's Vorpal quality has its soul drawn into the blade, allowing the bearer to consume it and gaining some aspect of its abilities for three days
Vitality: Gain 3 Hit Points per HD of the creature slain
Might: Gain the use of one Feat, Supernatural, or Extraordinary Ability (so long as it does not depend on anatomy not shared between the slain and the slayer)
Wit: Gain full use of the slain creature's skill ranks in one skill, or access to the slain creature's mind as per Probe Thoughts
Multiple uses of the same aspect do not stack.
Caster Level: 18
1 Ring of Untarnished Glory +5
6 Sets of Reinforced Segmented Valyrian Steel Fullplate (+2; Resist Fire 20 and SR 12)
3 Sets of Valyrian Steel Dragon Barding (Immunity to Compulsions; Can cast Haste on self 3/day)

8 Valyrian Dragon Eggs

1 Damaged Dragon horn (Drives dragons insane DC 22 Will save negates ???)
1 Damaged Anchoring Plinth (At will Anti-Magic Field, can store and discharge any magic it consumes as bursts of Force Damage)
Augur's Crown
Fate-Breaker's RunestaffThe crown gives +4 resistence bonus to all saves and allows one to cast what is effectively a celerity/dimensional door combination once per day (it would have been three times per day for the seer and since he had three heads he would not be fully stunned afterwards).
493 lbs of Valyrian SteelThe staff is a Runestaff of Augury and Greater Curse (and it would have been no save greater curses in the seer's hand in the place of his death).
Corpses:
1 Giant Half-Dragon Blood Hawk Corpse (Advanced to 12 HD)

Note: This'll need to be updated with whatever the new minions give us as tribute and how much dragonstone we're able to loot from the sundered ruins, but what I've got is more or less what we're looking at for the whole trip. This is a fantastic haul.

Fey are about original stories. They wouldn't plagiarize themselves, or do rip offs. I heard the fey's copyright laws are quite strict ...

Oh, thank god.
Okay, so... @DragonParadox, could we get away with giving them an abbreviated access to our ritual collection (no Heart Tree growing, Erinyes freeing, or Warforged making), alongside a tale of the rakshasas we faced in Valyria and a trinket to pair the tale with?

Superimpose the feywild onto the Reach.
That sounds like it will work.

I'd be willing to share rituals, I suppose. Not sure if we have anything too dangerous, there.
Runecrafting is better only insofar that A) we don't have to potentially deal with a Fey Sage of Creation at the end of their chain, which would be a headache and a half. All the terror of a Beholder Mage and all the annoyance of a mighty Fey. Then B) Don't have to worry about some weapons in living form being purpose made, like high CR assassins with unusual Shadow-y abilities. Just as an example.
They will eventually make stuff with it that will be just as difficult if not more so to deal with.

We would be trading the story that made us into a mythic character so it better push this over the edge.

@DragonParadox, just had an idea. Could we make part of our payment a warning? Like, tell the tale of how we fought alongside the Thenns in the Farthest North, and then show them the Mythic Ancient Wight Lord that's in our cloak, and give them a thorough warning of the coming Winter if they don't already know? We don't exactly have souvenirs for this particular story, but I figured the delivery with the prop would be enough to make it worth something.
Update, please.

Why not the Erinyes ritual?
If they want to free outsiders from the chains of their nature and connected plane I have no issue at all with that.
That's very cheap.
Spring one of the good ones, like the Raksha's blade.
Not like we'd ever use it, but Fey often have UMD abilities.

Why not just grow him something in the Fungus Forge for the mount? We can make CR10 beings by using reagents, which is the minimum CR he ask for, if what we come up with isn't quite impressive enough, we can throw in a few lower CR plant beings.
*rolls wisdom*
Remember his allegory for fey courts? He never did tell you what the darkness beyond shadow was. Viserys suspects he knows, but that is not the lore you bought so he did not mention it

I guess there's no reason not to share the Erinyes ritual, especially since they can't take advantage of it anyway given they don't have a loophole in the Pact Primeval.
We were planning to use it as crafting materials, IIRC. Namely for upgrading Dark Sister.
We could always offer up a Lawful Staff if there are no objections.
I'll check over it today.
