# NPCs

"NPC" stands for "Non-Player Character". They are characters that are in specific places throughout Kingdom Swap, and they are not controlled by a real-life human being.

Most **NPCs** exist to trade items, but not all NPCs buy and sell things. Some NPCs are in the game as part of a Quest, and others are merely for roleplaying purposes.
