A Trader or Merchant is a person who deals with wares.A Trader may be a simple Craftsman or a great Explorer,a wealthy businessman or a poor Haggler, a Barterer or a Marketeer, a Slavetrader or a Grocer.
The greatest Merchants were the Númenóreans whose Merchant princes were known as the Mâkabâri, but there were also great traders among Dwarves and Dorwinrim, and even Orcs (the Dauma).The Traders of Far Harad were organised in a guild known as the Namalo, those of greater Harad were ruled by the caravan masters of Sirayn.
