Slavery (oldland)

Slavery, the ownership of humans was a common thing in Oldland for much of its history. There were various types of slavery including chattle slavery, debt slavery and personal slavery. Slaves were often people who had been conquered by means of war, these slaves were often forced to work in the mines and the feilds of their own land. This was the most common form of slavery used by the mirkuelon empire. Another form of gaining slaves was through buying them, this was popular with the Agamoton empire and Auchakartarm who would often trade in Freelander and Silsians as well as Durgians as slaves. The other way for people to become slaves was through debt, this was when someone offered their phyiscal services to another if they were in debt to that person. It was most common throughout the central lands including Freeland a nation which was founded by rebel slaves. The last form of slavery was called personal slavery and it was used against people as a punishment.

Dwarves liked to live underground where they could mine and become rich needed slaves to work the feilds and so they used humans as well as elves during the first era to work their feilds to produce crops. These slaves knowing their importance soon rebelled and burnt the crops or refused to give them to their dwarven masters. This caused the collapse of the dwarven empire.

The mirkuleons also used slaves and slavery was very promient throughout their history.
