Editing Slavery (section)

==Goblin slave traders==

Theoretically, goblin slavers give their slaves to those members of the Shadow (legates, orc commanders, traitor princes and their minions) who “ordered” it, without making a profit in the operation. After all, they are granted the privilege to hunt slaves instead of serving the Shadow on the Burning Line or the dwarven holdfasts, an activity that is far less dangerous.

But a slave who has rare aptitudes may attract the greed of several different Shadow lords. Obviously, goblin slavers will give the specific slave to highest-bidder. This is not done in a public “market”, however, but rather the goblins are offered “gifts” (food, weapons, alcohol, etc.) if they want to give this slave to the one who so generously sponsors their actions.

In time, this has become a valuable trade and many goblins would gladly be granted the privilege to be part of a band of slavers.

Goblins also make handy profits with the underworld, selling many young women to prostitution organizations.
