Requirements. You have diplomatic relations with the group you wish to establish an agreement with.

You send a band of merchants out to establish a trade agreement between your kingdom and a group with whom you’ve established diplomatic relations. If a navigable river connects your kingdom with the other group’s territory, you can attempt a Boating check to Establish the Trade Agreement. If your kingdom’s proficiency rank in Magic is Master or higher, you can attempt a Magic check. Otherwise, attempt a Trade check. The check’s DC is either the group’s Negotiation DC or your kingdom’s Control DC, whichever is higher.

Critical Success. You successfully establish a trade agreement with your target, and your merchants return with gifts! Immediately roll 2 Resource Dice, then gain RP equal to the result of roll.

Success. You successfully establish a trade agreement.

Failure. Your traders reach their destination but need to sweeten the deal to secure the trade agreement. Immediately roll 2 Resource Dice, and then spend RP equal to the result of this roll. If you do so, you successfully establish a trade agreement, otherwise the attempt fails.

Critical Failure. Your trade agreement is a total loss and your traders do not return. Gain 1 Unrest, and until the end of the next Kingdom turn, take a –1 circumstance penalty to all Economy-related checks.
