#SKYRIM SLAVE MARKET MOD#

This mod sets out to change a few things about that.Īdds Slave Skirts/Slave Shirts (skirts are just a copy of Rag Loincloth with a different name, shirts are just Ragged Shirts with 0 stats and renamed) Mercurias said:įunnily enough, I was actually just reading up on ES slavery today.Ever been bugged by how 'underdeveloped' slavery is in Vanilla Kenshi? So, those were my two cents (and a shit ton of rambling) what do you guys think? What better way to prove your superiority (and merit) over everyone else than to allow said others to shine in your field of expertise and to then show them how much you outshine them? As Mercurial says they are a meritocracy: Maybe not, but does it matter? I'm pretty much sure the Telvanni are similar, they respect magical prowess and see strength in it, they see it as a challenge and are clearly quite prideful of their prowess. Especially those who showed signs of greatness had plenty of possibilities to make a life for themselves in Roman society. This didn't mean the entire people was destined for slavery, far from it. This meant they enslaved the people they saw as weak, they deserved their enslavement. I don't know a whole lot about Romans but from my understanding they would enslave the people they conquered. This is also the problem Telvanni might have with hired help funds are also important for research and the more you have the better.Īs to what makes a slave. If Neloth has a slave to make Canis root tea for him it means less time lost by making tea, time he could be using to further his research. I think it follows the greek example a lot more.

As there are clear differences between the different sentient species (or races as we know them) and while it is most certainly the excuse the Dres must be using, I doubt the Telvanni follow the same ruleset. I originally thought the Telvanni would be inclined to use the second excuse, it's the easiest one to perform in Nirn. There's many more but let's keep it at these. For the slavery that came with the creation of plantations after the discovery of the 'new' world it was the idea that a slave was no better than a dog or a mule and as such it wasn't wrong. For the greeks in Athens this was the idea that thanks to slaves the citizenry had the time to invest in political affairs. The first of those is that a system that relies on slavery needs a reason to remain unquestioned. In general Slavery needs two things to work (apart from the basic logistics and slaves of course). Those silly silk robe wearing dunmer wizards might just have a lot of confidence issues. Yep and they're probably jealous of anyone who doesn't fit those criteria. Far better to simply buy good slave stock from a reputable merchant than go into slaving for yourself.ĭude, I think they'd feel superior to anybody in the house that is not higher ranked than they are, regardless of race. Likewise, developing a reputation for enslaving those who try and join their ranks for work would make for fewer recruits. If not, a strong slave might be best used by arranging to have it gifted to a rival.With bonds just loose enough to leave room for an escape and a magical 'suggestion' that killing the new master on the way out the door should be part of the plan. In a House like that, a strong slave would be a definite asset if it could remain safely collared. Telvanni mages are so notorious for feuding amongst one another that the members of lower castes largely see it as an inconvenience on par with bad weather.

The strongest make the rules, and the weak can serve, die, or run. House Telvanni is infamous for being an amoral meritocracy. What makes one Khajiit a slave in their eyes and other Khajiit not? Maybe only Beast-races caught by Dres are considered slaves - like, if they´re weak enough to get caught they deserve to be slaves - and the others not? Telvanni accept all races as candidates for membership. But.įor example, since the Telvanni vigorously defend the right to own slaves, and since they keep many Argonian and Khajiit as slaves, many Argonians and Khajiit assume they would not be accepted for service with House Telvanni. House Telvanni, alright? They of the three Great Houses of Vvardenfell are the ones that use slaves the most of them. While it is quite a morally debatable topic it is not what I´m really after. I have no doubt many of you either played or at least know something about Morrowind, especially the fact that Dunmer are owning slaves, mostly Khajiit and Argonians, with an Orc here and there.
