After Reading the wonderful post Dancing with fire and reading the book tricksters choice and tricksters queen I was inspired to create a Rp about slavery.

Our story begins in the lands of the Easterlings near the sea of Rhun, slavery has existed there for thousands of years and has become embedded in the culture. The more slaves you owned the wealthier you were. Now I have created a city near the sea of Rhun in the desert it does not exist in Middles earth But I had a hard time finding a city in that region. The city is Called Bredena it is a prosperous merchant city. The colors are rich and bright the spices in the air make the air seem close and thick. The city is divided into four sections each named after the cardinal directions. North is where the palace is south poverty west the rich and east the middle class or merchants & guilds. Slaves are predominate in the north west and east because people can afford them, the south cannot afford more than one slave and I know how everyone likes to flock together. So I think it would be better to stick to the west district in one of the royal family homes.
Bredena is like a mix between Istanbul and India. The palace is filled with gold fixtures, fountain, domes and arches.
Slaves wear regular civilian clothing (be imaginative design your own)
The only thing that distinguishes them from civilians is the round brand mark on their forehead the emblem it bears is the crest of the Royal family. (btw we are still before the fourth age)you can be a existing slave in the household or a freshly caught slave. Your choice.

I would prefer only Human characters but I will allow three elves you can be any gender and any of the human race (Rohirric, gondorian, ect.)
Rules: no godmoding, if you don’t think you can post frequently don’t join please, if you have to go out of town and you know you won’t be able to post let us know. Romance is allowed but keep it limited, no swearing, be nice to fellow rpers. No oneliners add alittle filler if you must do what I do just keep rambling until you feel like your accomplished.

She is often found in the stables talking to the horses and a strange tongue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dea woke up in the main hall on her pallet next to the hearth a position that meant she was high up in the pecking order. She laid there listening to the heavy breathing of her fellow companions. She traced the perfect circle brand mark with a sigh she rose silently her feet moved soundlessly as she exited the main hall to the courtyard. the fresh cool yet humid air was refreshing to the natives but oppressing to Dea she stood in the courtyard for awhile, Today a new group of slaves were to arrive she was eager to meet the new faces. Soon the sun rose and with it would rise the household.

Katria watched as the sun rose high above the clouds and the earth that morning. She looked at her fellow slaves as they were being ruffly transported to a new part of the country to be sold. Katria sighed heavily. This would be her 6th slave auction that she woulc be a part of in her 11 years of slavery.

(As Vincent Dargor)

(Vincent Dargor ->
Race: Elf/Wraith -> but more elf
Gender: Male
Personality: He is Quiet, but looks harsh. He is a gentleman and will always be.
Appearance: Half dark elf Half Wraith.. he has betrayed both the light and t he dark and therefor is persued by both the light and the dark..if you look at him he looks like a dark elf but he gets his height, strength and his attire from The Wraith side of him)(just to tell you guys he is a good guy *wink*)
History: Born in Mordor Raised as a waith then left the life of a wraith to understand his mothers side, The elves, and has lived as an Ranger.Elf ever since. He was recently called back to mordor to help move this band of slaves but he will find something on this journey.. but who knows what that is..
____________________________________________________________

Vincent looked around at all the slaves being moved. He found the day to be rather nice for walking but terrible in his long black cloak. He is tall standing about 6' 6" with short dark black hair and Olive shinn. His eyes caught the eyes of Katria (though he did not know her name) And for the second time he felt bad.. The first time he saw her, their eyes didn't meet be just seeing a young woman in slavery wasn't his favorite thing. But, as always he had to follow orders. his orders where to bring this band of slaves to Bredena , where the merchants there spend their time with the owning and trading of Slaves.

Vincent Looked around.. his black, volcanic, metal sword close to his side and his long black cloak now slung over his arm. He sighed as they gathered all the slaves up and Prepared to move again. This was the last leg of the trip before they reached Bredena. He stood there silent and strong his Arctic Blue eyes scanning the company. But inside he felt torn apart and didnt know why.. thinking to himself " Maybe It will come to me why I feel this way.. but an order is and order"

Up along side Dea came the Head slave Taitan his darker skin told of his easterling heiritage. " a new group of slaves are to arrive in the market today.." he whispered " I know " dea said almost cheerfuly "are happy for the new slaves or the chance to see outside?" he asked " to be outside " she answered. " we will be leaving soon so go get properly dressed" he commanded Dea smiled and bowed from the waist. she was still in her shift she may be a slave but her mistress demanded that Dea be dressed to show the Ardol family had wealth. she changed into a red over shift with an orange sheer shawl to put over her head. Lord Ardol sat on his great grey geldling survying the guards and slaves that were to accompainy him to the markets. Dea slipped behind Taitan silently pulling up her shawl ready to follow the procession as it moved out of the house. soon the cries of the auctions came into range. Dea shuddered alittle as they passed some slaves reciveing the brand mark on their forhead. soon they were in the center of the market most of the morning's sales were off slaves only fit for farms. Lord Ardol didn't seem to interested in the market,Dea stayed close to the main group it was common for already purchesed slaves to be nabbed and sold to a diffirent owner mainly girls. Dea didnt' want to be resold she didn't want the chance of being a bed warmer.

Katria looked around at the people all in the crowd to buy slaves. She sighed. She was lucky enough to not have been used as a bed warmer for her first 6 masters, but she had talked to friends that weren't so lucky, and she didn't want this master to get her either. Katria wasn't the prettiest girl around, but she was at a prime age for a bed warmer. She sighed heavily and couldn't wait for this to get done with.

Along side Taitan Dea walked remembering how foriegn and frightening this new world was. she had served the Ardol family for 8 years faithfuly. she passed several slaves that could have siuted the needs of the household but they all looked like troublemakers. soon they passed a group a fresh group of slaves this looked lively and more alive than the others. "the girl there on the left she looks strong enough" Taitan said pointing to a young girl of Dea's age. Dea approached the girl quietly her blue eyes accented by Kohl "whats your name? " she asked noting that this girls brand mark was not fresh but old. Meanwhile Taitan searched for the slaver. Dea felt alittle nervous that Taitan moved out of sight she was now exposed and helpless if a slaver thought she wasn't well guarded they could snatch her before she had a chance to scream. she was a prime target, but she tried not to show that she was afriad.

Katria looked up. Someone was looking at her. She sighed heavily and said, "My name is Katria...Katria Bell."

Taitan still did not return. Dea glanced over her shoulder searching for him but he was still lost in the crowd. She heard heavy footsteps near her and dared not look over her shoulder. please let it be Taitan pleaseshe thought before looking over her shoulder it was not Taitan... instead it was a gruff looking slaver one that looked like the one that had captured her many years ago. Deawen bowed her head respectfuly the man grabbed her arm to prevent her from running off " where's yer master wench?" he asked in a heavy accent Dea began to tremble " over there!" she said without pointing. he didn't look to see where over there might be " you would fetch a pretty coin wouldn't yer? " Dea's fears had be awknowledged.

I'll join!

Name: Kith
Age:28
Appeance: Tall and swarthy.
personality: Dark, angry, a loner. He makes every thing as hard for his master as possible, and has the scars to prove it.
History: He was born to a nomadic tribe, but captured by a slaving group when he was only eight. Because of his unhandleable nature, he has been sold many times.

Kith stood tall on the slave deck. He had learned early on that the smart slavers bought only those that were already crouched low and humble on the stage. With any luck he'd go the week without being sold.

Katria looked at Dea trembling and she looked at the man, saying through clentched teeth, "Leave her alone, snake! She already has a master!"

Dea closed her eyes this was just a bad dream.she thought. the slaver looked down at the girl(your char tur) and sneered he raised his hand to strike her when one of the Ardol family guards came up with Tainar he froze being seen trying to recaptured a owned slave and he could be killed imprisoned or become a slave himself. he let go of Dea who dashed behind Tainar. " we would like to buy seven of the slaves here today" Tainar said with a commanding tone. the slaver stumbled for words before asking " which ones?' Dea pointied meekly to the girl who helped her and to five others that looked healthy enough.
"what about er seventh?" the slaver asked alittle annoyed at being bossed around by two slaves. Tainar straightened and pointed to the slave that was standing on the docks (nur your char) the slaver muttered about something. soon the slaves where paid for and rounded up in a circle of house guards.
Dea stood next to the girl that helped her "thank you" she whispered.
