== Placement ==
Traders are placed by using a [[trader contract]], which is purchased from other traders at a cost of 50s. A new trader must be placed at a minimum distance of 63 tiles away from other traders. Traders must be placed inside a [[building]] (not a [[market stall]]), but stay functional if the building disappears. Traders cannot be moved after they have been placed. Unlike Personal Merchants, Traders will not dissapear disappear if they haven't had any activity for 30 or more.
== Item stocks ==
'''''Exception:''' Money from deed and contract purchases go straight to the king.''
A new trader starts out with 1 silver coin in funds. Periodically, the king will distribute new funds to all traderswho have sold items. In other words, if players buy items from the trader, the trader will receive funds. If nobody has bought something from the trader, it will not be given funds. (The main source of these funds is [[settlement]] upkeep.) The king will not grant funds to traders holding 50 silver or more.
