A trader of any manner of wares, you travel Cyrodiil on buisness matters. There are all manners of specialities, you may be a clothier, tailor, weapons dealer, jeweller, alchemist, apothocary, bookseller, fur trader or even a black market dealer. Someone always wants something. It is your job to give it to them.

• Carry a quill, inkwell and parchment with you at all times, customers may want receipts.
• Dress in a manner beffiting your class, upper class jewellers are more likely to be found in upper class clothes, whilst weapons dealers and armourers are more likely to be found wearing either full armour or half armour.
• As you will be travelling all over the province, it is advisable to invest in a horse, bear in mind however that horses are expensive, let your horse be a symbol of your success as a merchant.
• You should befriend members of the Imperial Legion and Imperial Watch, paying special attention to those in the Market District and those patrolling the highways. It pays to have friends in high places.

• As a member of the Society of Concerned Merchants, you should investigate the low prices of The Copious Coinpurse, Thornir is taking away buisness from you and your fellow merchants.
• Take over the Imperial Trading Company's offices in the Waterfront District. Have the Foreman; Damian Magius dealt with, perhaps a poisoned apple whilst he sleeps? Take his key and befriend the labourers in order to complete the hostile takeover.
• Purchase a higher class house: Rosethorn Hall in Skingrad or Aborwatch in Chorrol and establish The Merchants Guild, with yourself as Guildmaster.
