[QUOTE="green slime, post: 4488221, member: 1325"] Let's be pretty clear on this one: [b]thrall[/b] 8 dictionary results for: Thrall Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) thrall /θrɔl/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[thrawl] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation, –noun 1. a person who is in bondage; slave. 2. a person who is morally or mentally enslaved by some power, influence, or the like: He was the thrall of morbid fantasies. 3. slavery; thralldom. –verb (used with object) 4. Archaic. to put or hold in thralldom; enslave. –adjective 5. Archaic. subjected to bondage; enslaved. [Origin: bef. 950; ME; OE thrǣl < ON thrǣll slave] American Heritage Dictionary thrall (thrôl) Pronunciation Key n. 1. 1. One, such as a slave or serf, who is held in bondage. 2. One who is intellectually or morally enslaved. 2. Servitude; bondage: "a people in thrall to the miracles of commerce" (Lewis H. Lapham). tr.v. thralled, thrall·ing, thralls Archaic To enslave. Someone calling themselves a "thrallherd" doesn't seem to be a particularly nice guy to me... "Yeah, I'm a Slave-shephard, but they really do want to follow me around and obey my every whim." Seems like just how a really evil character would motivate his actions. Of course, this is all campaign specific. If your game can allow for good-aligned slavery, then go for it. Personally, I have, in the interest of making things clear for players from the get go, and prevent long, needless discussions on morality at the gaming table, written a document outlining what is Good or Evil in my campaign. Note however, that even when you regard slavery as "Evil", nothing prevents its existence within an otherwise mostly good society. There are all sorts of reasons for this apparent paradox. Just as real humans can have conflicting opinions. America's founding fathers spoke about all men being equal, yet owned slaves themselves. [/QUOTE]
