[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8947739, member: 6802378"] - It is not canibalism but antropophagy. - Slavery is not allowed.... for private citizen....but if you pay a special tax. The usual origin of slavery is juditial comndenation or unpaid debts...by some ancestor generations ago. There are some slaves working in the noble houses, but these are as "hired staff" when the "goverment" has the complete monoply. The PCs shouldn't can buy or sell slaves, but only the sorcerer-kings can "rent" them. Most of time the "freeded slaves" or ex-convicts are people who have suffered a brainwash as a penal punishment. - There are horrible consequences for your bad karma. In DS being nice is not easy, but it is not a pleasant place to want to be the bad guy. - The sorcerer kings are the secret rulers of "mirror realms", demiplanes working as alternate timelines. This can be a double edge swords, because someones can be source of food and supplies, but also suffer epidemics, plagues or worse things. - There are points of light. There is a forbidden sect, "the children of Coalt" whose first apostles where yuan-ti who rejected the badness. Some "Coaltians" are divine spellcasters (or psionic ardent class). - Arcane magic is forbidden, primal magic is allowed but not wellcome, divine magic is too wished. When the templars discover a "divine spellcaster" this is hunted and catched to be "milk". - Spynewyrms are true dragons, even with age categories, or vestiges. - Reincarnation works, but not always in the way you wish.
