I dont think Near Harad should get profit from Easterlings trading rugs. You seem to be basing NEar Harad in this case with Persia, which was only rich because of their massive empire (Near Harad's territory is 95% arid desert, let's be honest here) and its resources, and because they heavily taxed traders from East and West. It seems a little stupid that Easterlings should travel through an arid land and down to the Fertile Valley, all for a longer jounery.

Instead, maybe give this privledge to Dorwinion, because they're basically then link between east and west, no?
