Tuathan servants/slaves are not common in any of the human lands, except in the northern parts of the Karanwen, which are essentially lawless. Some Scanlon nobles also keep Tuathan slaves and/or serfs. Typically, if one of the Tuathan landholders that the Scanlon have supplanted are willing to repudiate the Posedrine Heresy, they're allowed some autonomy, and are merely servants. However, if they want to hold to their heretical beliefs, the Scanlon nobles who favor the practice would probably just hold them as slaves. However, I don't want to give you the idea that Tuathan servants are particularly common in the Scanlonwen - they're not. Most nobles would rather exile them back to Tuathaswen, rather than keep them as free labor. Still, a few enjoy keeping them as spoils of war (you can probably decide how the Barcos handled that issue when they were granted their current lands). A few of the higher-ups in the Swordsworn have been known to take bondservants as spoils of war during the crusades, as well. But, since the Swordsworn have been discouraged from participating in the main theater of the crusade by the Scanlon nobility, almost no one your age in the Swordsworn would possess a Tuathan slave. As for Celusar itself, a few hundred years ago, it would have been perfectly common to see all sorts of Tuatha in the city, because they ruled it. Millenia before that, however, it was a city equally revered and accessed by all the Veilborn races. However, since the Celusarian Crusade's success, only a few Tuatha are typically seen there. Some just stayed in the city after the Human alliance's victory, but they rarely leave (and thus probably would not be returning from over seas) because when they do, they often return to find their homes and/or businesses occupied by humans eager to push the heretics out of the city. The only other Tuatha seen in the city in the present are priests or acolytes in the service of one of the 9 gods. Most are Posedrine priests, for reasonably obvious reasons.</blockquote>
