In Fortress mode, does everything I sell to the the merchants get destroyed once they leave the map? Be it artifacts, furniture, toys, etc... Or do they get distributed in the world in such a way where, as an Adventurer, I can possibly locate any trace of my fort's legacy/goods outside of its local region?

Last I knew they just disappear.  It WOULD be cool to trade them artifacts and masterpiece weapons and see as an adventurer, or in legends, what happened.

I've seen the pack animals of elf merchants living in forest retreats carry items from a fortress I had.

Spoiler: excerpt from the write-up (click to show/hide)

Unlike the rest of the forest retreats the companions had visited during their travels, Styledlathered was bustling with life and, if one did not pay attention to the dead grass here and there, one could almost imagine there were no twisted towers casting their shadows on the living.

In one of the majestic giant trees of Styledlathered, the companions spotted something curiously familiar: elven merchants and their pack animals.

Ova swore he had seen them before, and so the companions took a closer look.





And indeed, these merchants had been to Waterlures. They still had with them some of the items they had traded for in the south. Clothes made my Edu, Såkzul and Zon. Carved bone crafts made by 'Zultan'.

Before seeing this I thought they just disappeared. Haven't seen any items in actual use, though. Just hauled on pack animals.

Yeah, I believe they travel overland and are then forgotten about as property of the civ. Artifacts and books being an exception, given their status. Those should be added to personal collections and, in theory, should be able to be found somewhere.

Back in 40d, the caravans would travel across the world map to one of the trader civ's settlements, and if you happened to visit that site in Adventurer mode you'd find all of them just sitting there and causing lots of lag (and if there were any wagons, they would immediately scuttle themselves).

Oh shit, he's here, guys! Act busy!
