[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6279985, member: 5143"] I know that in the early years of Living Greyhawk based on some information in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, the country of Ket was one of the few non-evil countries on Oerth to practice slavery. Slavers are fairly common in Greyhawk but they are evil, mistreat their slaves and are always used as the villains. Ket, on the other hand, is an extremely Lawful Neutral country that practiced Indentured Servitude for financial debts and also reserved Slavery as punishment for horrible crimes. Ket did not believe in the death penalty so murder was punished by a Lifetime of Slavery in the silver mines. Though the issue of slavery was brought up as a concern by players who felt uncomfortable at the idea of slavery and the fact that this was happening was downplayed and barely mentioned after the first couple of years of the campaign in order to avoid issues.
