The Lampseller is an old beggar and peddler who has his seat alongside the main street of the marketplace on the Isle of the Crown.
Background[]
No one knows how long he has been peddling his lamps, or if his business is very profitable, but he is treated as a regular member of the bazaar. He offers new lamps in exchange for old ones. He admitted that he hoped he would find a Genie, and if not he could resell the lamps in the antiques market.
Alexander encountered the peddler after his completed Make Rain spell rendered his hunter's lamp useless. The peddler had a variety of lamps for trade, including Oriental paper lanterns and a sugar bowl-shaped lamp. In exchange for the hunter's lamp, Alexander unconsciously selected a replica of the genie Shamir Shamazel's blue lamp, which would be very useful later on.
The lamp peddler departed after doing business with Alexander, and was not seen again.
