Blade Vendor Selling Mounts…Huh?

Something that has always bothered me is that the Halaa Blade Merchant sells the Dark Talbuk. Why is a Blade Merchant selling mounts?

I could understand the Quartermaster selling them; they provide the more specialized goods to Halaa defenders, for a price. I could even see the Food Vendor selling them; since they appear to be herbivores, the vendor might be able to lure them in with fruit (or maybe some Halaani Whiskey). But what does the Blade Merchant do, stab them into submission and sell people the now lamed mount?

So what if the Merchant can craft some gray-quality swords and sells gems that were obviously dug up while searching for ore; it’s about time the responsibility for mount training/selling fell to someone else who at least made sense.

These vendors double as magicians when the other faction controls Halaa so they like to surprise people with what is in their bags.
