There was one among the merchants?

There was no one with that name

to talk to the merchants along the highway.

There was a finger among the merchants, and we didn't take care of him.

The magic stones of fire that were in the merchants' inventory are gone.

Not the best place for a traveling peddler.

I bought it… from a travelin' peddler. Oh, villagers a-comin'! Don't tell 'em about me, please!

There's Deekus, a shipwreck scavenger. Ma'randru-jo, a traveling caravaner. And Anoriath, a hunter.

My parents were traveling merchants eventually settling in Cyrodiil. I must have inherited their wanderlust...

Ri'saad was able to look past that, and it was he who helped to set me up with a trade caravan. Now I work for him.

Those caravaners can be an elusive bunch. Takes a fair bit of stalking to take one down. But then, that's half the fun, isn't it?
