Slaves

Essealas is set in a medieval world that approximates Earth's High Middle Ages of the 11ths to 12th century. Slavery in some form or another exists within all of the city-states and has not been outlawed, nor even questioned. Rights and privilege belong to citizens, not Foundlings, and certainly not slaves, serfs, or indentured servants.

The average city-state citizen, as well as most player characters, thinks little or nothing of slaves. They are for the most part as common as furniture and due little more consideration than one would give an animal.

Character Creation

You are welcome to play a slave, but do so with the full understanding that this sim is designed for political role-play, and your role as a slave may be of little interest to other player characters unless you are as well actively involved in the larger political plotlines.

Serving Roles

There are plenty of roles available for someone who would like to be a slave/servent to one of the city-state diplomatic cores, or serve food and drinks in one of the many food establishments. Anyone can assume that they might be hired by the proprietor of a tavern or restaurant to serve -- simply step up and begin the role-play with a simple, "What can I get you".
