Slaves
Slaves are one of the acquirable NPC types in Masters of Raana. They offer the player a wide range of interaction options and can be assigned or used as workers, combat followers, lovers or nannies - among lots of other possibilities. Most slaves can be purchased at auctions or obtained through combat.
History of Slavery
Slavery, most commonly referred to as servitude, is a legal institution that is very prevalent and socially acceptable in modern Ikaanos. It was passed into law in 2293 to quell the social unrest of that time. Being widely rejected by especially the female and puritan population at the time, acceptance grew over time generations acceptance slowly grew over time until the practice became the widely-accepted institution that you see today.
"A person who enters servitude forfeits his or her right to freedom of movement, the ability to choose his or her activities, and control over his or her bodily autonomy. A servant transfers his or her rights to the bondsmaster, who is legally responsible for the slave, and lives at the bondsmaster's mercy until the contract expires."

Categories
Even though a slave's status and rights are bound by IC law, there exist many types of slaves in an unsanctioned but broadly accepted hierarchy.
Household slaves
Mainly used for household chores like milk maids to newborns, cleaners, gardeners and similar tasks. Household slaves live close to their masters, meaning they often perform sexual services as well.
Pleasure slaves
Pleasure slaves can be found in taverns, restaurants and similar entrepreneurships. Their work includes sexual services, serving customers, playing instruments, and acting as companions. Prostitutes at taverns often belong to this category.
Floor Crawlers
A lower form of pleasure slaves. Floor crawlers are used as cum dumpsters, take part in gang-bang orgies, and are rented out to perverted nobles.
Gold Walkers
Another word for street prostitutes. Gold walkers are pimped by their masters to earn money on the streets or on markets.
Gritters
Slaves that follow Skyguard patrols, bandit troops, and larger armies on the field. Gritters perform both sexual and domestic tasks.
Foodgivers
Slaves that work in kitchens. Services might include lighter domestic tasks shared by household slaves, but Foodgivers are seldom given the attention a household girl gets and this status is often reserved for older women or girls that are deemed not attractive enough.
Ranch Cattle
Slaves assigned as workers on the great ranches surrounding Ikaanos. Few can live more than a decade as ranch cattle and it's often considered the worst type of slavery except being a floor crawler.
Gankers
Slaves assigned as bodyguards or as frontline soldiers. Often with less than optimal protection or training. However it is relatively rare to see a master give a slave a weapon.
