Candle Makers are often encountered as itinerant vagrants, hawking their wares to all and sundry, but successful ones end up with a shop in some out of the way locale. Arnor of Firetop, for example, sells Blue Candles to wandering adventurers who venture into the dungeons beneath the mountain, while Nylock the Trader was known to peddle Blood Candles within the fortress of Mampang. One of the most noted however, is Galor Erethrim, whose candle shop in the Harbour District of Port Blacksand is reputed to do a roaring trade in various types of enchanted candle.
