Chapter 68: Council Meeting

Slave trading has been an important part of Continental history since the beginning of time. 

When the kingdoms only began to grow, both humans, beasts, and other creatures were open to having slaves––those born with lesser fortunes or unable to survive against the ever-changing demands of the new, progressing society, had no choice but to surrender their freedom and struggle for life that often reminded death. 

As the humans turned to the colonizing tactics and began to assert their dominance over those who were different, things began to change for the worse rapidly. 

If in the past, slavery was not something others could truly frown upon, with the slaves having a roof over their heads and food in exchange for labor, once the Continental Colonization wars began to wipe off the existence of other species, slavery became an epitome of living hell. 

At first, creatures like vampires or ghouls proved to be valuable slave workers––strong and hardy, they did not need much food or rest while working long hours in the mines and fields. However, as time went by, humans realized that their true nature could not be suppressed that easily, and once the creatures started attacking their masters, starving for their blood and flesh, a decision was made to replace them with the species that could be controlled more easily.
