=== Generalities ===

Slavery is common in all lands but Adolek. Slaves is not based on race but rather on power. They are often considered simply property and can be sold or traded.

Most slaves are born into slavery, children of slave women (the status of the father does not count). A second source is when the parents (in Altes, only the father; in Redia only the mother) sell their children (up to the age of 25 if unmarried). The third source is when somebody cannot pay his debts (and you have no more children to sell, or they cannot cover the price). The fourth source is war, raids and trade from enemy lands.

(Of course taking a free person into slavery is a criminal punishment).
