[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8508695, member: 85555"] I just genuinely disagree with you on this. I certainly don' think they are deliberately trying to engage a stereotype of arabs as slave traders or slave owners. See my other post. It most likely was just them drawing inspiration from the history (Genies are obviously arab inspired and my guess is the city of brass and things like used a lot of Islamic history as source material for inspiration--again not very familiar with city of brass so I can't say for sure but if you read Islamic history and arab history, slavery is there, just like if you read about Rome there is slavery, or if you read about the Antebellum South there is slavery, or even if you read the bible there is slavery). I would imagine a lot of D&D cultures modeled on ancient societies like those from the bible or the ancient mediterranean, are going to have slaves because the writers are taking from the historical source material.
