| − | ==Terminology== |
||
| − | {{speculation}} |
||
| − | So far the term '''half-draenei''' has only been found in sources describing orcs. It might be possible that in settings describing other races the term might describe a half-draenei/half-other (in the same way as a draenei probably would use the term [[half-orc]] for a half-draenei/half-orc). It may also be possible that as was the case with [[half-human half-ogre]]s, that a long description is given in order to designate any racial combinations that go outside the norm. In contrast, [[half-elf]], [[half-blood elf]], [[half-night elf]], and [[half-orc]] are defined almost universally as races that originated from humans and the specified race. Half-draenei, half-ogre, and half-ogre mage are exceptions in that they so far only refer to races created through the interbreeding of orcs and a non-human race. |

The Trade Coalition is the goblins' merchant empire, and is ruled by all five of Undermine's trade princes.[1] It is huge, far-reaching and massively complicated.[1] It commands the Trade Fleets.[1] The Trade Coalition condones smuggling and slavery.[1] Undermine contains the headquarters of the Trade Coalition.[2]
The Trade Coalition has little influence over Revilgaz, and indeed the Raiders attempt to go under, above, or around the coalition's head.[3] Goblin barons are allegedly there to serve as magistrate over the land and holdings owned by a trade prince.[4]
The five (more or less) trade princes collectively control the Trade Coalition.[4] Run by Undermine's trade princes, the Trade Coalition controls much of the commerce throughout the world. Trade Prince Steamwheedle, the richest known goblin on Azeroth, runs the shipping division practically on his own.[4]
Ratchet is the chaotic urban center of this empire.[5]
Before he was a Trade Prince, one of Jastor Gallywix's titles was "big goblin in the Trade Coalition." He owned a majority of Trade Prince Maldy's holdings in the Trade Coalition through a hundred false fronts and small businesses.[6]
