The trading post is located on the fringe of the Mamboka band�s land far from their inner camp. This area is deemed safe for both talunas and traders. No captures, kills, or maiming will be validated in this trading zone as safety is an important part of the trading arena. None will trade in an area they deem unsafe. ...However would be plausible to follow the talunas stealthily when they leave.
