Editing Reign of Drapetes (section)

===The Tethers===
Once, Tethers were humans who were selected to act as translators and heralds for to the Slavers, delivering orders to humanity and giving reports in return.  Some tethers were mercenary, and others were (or became) quite mad.  However, many were doing what they could to defend their communities as best they could.  To better serve the Slavers, Tethers were taught sorcery.  Over time, Tethers began to accumulate more knowledge of sorcery than the Slavers knew.  The Plan of Hope depended largely on Tethers and their sorcery.  Tethers are viewed with suspicion by some, but generally they are accepted as having a necessary role in society with very carefully proscribed boundaries.
