⌦ OVERVIEW
Come scorching sun or acid rain, it is always business as usual within Fort Cheyenne's immediate area. The frequently unpredictable and otherwise only just livable environment lends little excuse to those dwelling within it, and for the hundreds of men, women and children that manage to support many of their most basic needs through labor and perseverance, an undeniably necessary secondary group of survivors exists - the merchants.
With their goods and services ranging from drinking water and clothing to herbal remedies and hexes, there is never any shortage of either roaming or stationary vendors to meet the many needs of locals.

⌦ BUSINESSES
Local businesses can be classified as one of two basic types with a few pronounced differences between those within a single classification. Stationary businesses are those housed in specific locations be it that they were maintained or acquired before or after the restructuring; they tend to be held by families or communities rather than lesser organized or linked groups of individuals, and are often tied directly to a faction or leading group that provides protection and/or additional labor for the business in exchange for goods or service renderings. Because of the allowances around space and access to specific groups of survivors, these businesses tend to be able to tailor themselves to their customer bases, adding and subtracting from their inventories as the demands on them shift.
Roaming or mobile businesses rose up from unmet needs following the early years of the restructuring. These businesses are typically run by smaller groups - typically one or two survivors - and make their ends by migrating between settlements and encampments, haggling with locals for whatever their primary means of currency is at the time in exchange for the goods offered; this often means the chance for picking up items and plants common to one region and being in a position to present said common item to a region where it is not readily available, if at all. However, given the nature of this form of business, a reliable transportation method for both the merchant(s) and goods is required, along with a fair reputation and a certain level of impartiality to maximize clientele.
