Here you can buy and sell all kind of items (see Item Selling Guide for details). But most importantly, you can buy a dwelling for 50 gold (or 35, if you bargain with him). This dwelling is a SAFE place, and you can leave your items (up to a maximum of 100 items, in theory, but currently the limit is not implemented so you can store whatever you want) here. Historical note In old times you could store your gold here (see Old Quests for reasons to do it). This feature was removed when the gold cap system was enacted.
