Rohan Traders

Rohan traders are mannish traders of the Rohan faction. They can only be found in their respective market stalls in the marketplaces of rural villages. These markets do not spawn in fortress-villages. The Blacksmith and Farmer, in addition to the market stalls, can also be found in smithies and barns, respectively. The Meadhost spawns exclusively in the meadhall, while the Stablemaster is found only in the stable.

Only a few market stalls (if any) spawn in the same settlement. So you won't be able to find them all in one place, but will probably have to travel quite some time, if you want to find a specific one. The traders were all added in, except for the Blacksmith and Meadhost, who lived in their respective structures long before ( and , respectively).

The traders are different from normal Rohirrim in the fact that they all have a coin in one hand and a tool of their respective business in the other.

Behaviour
The traders stand around in the market stall and wait for customers. They will trade for silver coins and exchange your money for larger or smaller variants.

They normally are a passive NPCs but will attack if provoked; once provoked they will attack you with a tool of their trade.

Trading
The Rohan traders will trade with anyone who has positive or neutral Rohan alignment. They sell various goods according to their profession. They will buy what they need, to do their job properly.
