Slavery

Slavery is quite common in Naemmric but there are strict rules that come with this status.
One: Gm’s are not responsible for what the Mistress’s do to the slave.
Two: Mistress’s are aloud to do what they wish with their slaves. Know what you are getting into.
Three: Once you are a slave your live is in your Mistress’s hands, not your. With the exception of a GM kill or a kill in a quest.

Its is most common the mistress’ are found the -very- rare master is found in the town and are tended to highly be feared. Every female is looked at as a possible mistress the day of their birth and so all females are respected and tend to be given a name that may be known someday; However male names tend to be bland a quiet, so that they are unnoticed.

Slavery is not a stealing thing. A slave must give himself to his mistress. If the mistress rejects the male it is her given right to end his life as a refusal.

Becoming a Mistress:
Woman become a Mistress if she is of high enough status in her family birth. On her 18th birthday she is confronted by he mother and her grandmother and questioned on her family history and what it means to be a Mistress if she passes the tests bestowed upon her by her relatives then he is taken to city hall when she is then tested again. If she passes these test she is give her first sacrificial dagger; which is used on rejected slaves. She is also given a stone box in which her first callor is placed with a gold name plate. As the first slave is always the most important. If the Hall members refuse her as a Mistress she is sent back to her home in disgrace and family must send her away from the town or end her life.
If she is lucky enough to be granted Mistress status then she wear he sacrificial dagger proudly on her belt. However she does not yet have to take a slave. This is only done by hanging a callor on her belt signing she is -looking-. A young Mistress can on look for he -first- slave. While and older Mistress can have more then one callor hanging from her belt signifying she is looking for more then one.

Becoming a slave:
Males must kneel before the Mistress with head bowed and neck exposed. Hands held out and side by side palms up. And state. “I am below you and I give myself to you. If you see me not fit for your need then place your dagger within my hand and I will take my own life in disgrace. If you see me as your slave place your callor upon my through and mark me as yours.” At this point the male life is either forfeit or gifted as a slave. Slave are higher in rank then none slave males and treated with the respect that their Mistress’ are given as their Mistress’ are the only one aloud to punish them or take their lives. If a slave disgraces their Mistress while they are now around they are brought to the Mistress and dealt with; most are put down.
They are also then renamed.

Fallow- Fallow is no more or no less then 5ft behind their Mistress.
Mute- No talking until the Mistress had given permission.
You have done Wrong- At this point the slave responds with. “Of course I have” Where in the slave moves into a kneeling position leaned forwards with for-head to the ground one should tipped low exposing his back to the bite of his Mistress’s whip.
