Foxen IndentureWhile slavery is of course illegal in the civilized worlds (and practiced outside it quite frequently, under various face saving names), the foxen use of indentured servitude is a time honored practice that has resisted both major social changes and outside pressure by the other members of the Six Races.Foxen Indenture by *Sir-Talen
Partially this is a result of one of the major Shared Laws that are followed among the Countesses, which mandates that free movement of Commoners in a noble's domain be uninhibited. The expected result of this is that a noble must provide a comfortable amount of social services, such as reasonable priced housing, schooling and healthcare to

"A disaster involving almonds"

The ambassador watched with anticipation as the king raised his wineglass to his lips. Yes, drink it. Drink it all down and save us from your insanity!
"Mmm, nutty," the king declared mildly.
"What?" the ambassador muttered softly. The taste of the wine should have masked the cyanide, shouldn't it?
"Yes, sire," the Minister of Torture said. "Almond wine is a rarity. I was lucky to be able to import..." His face suddenly went pale as he clutched at his belly, then doubled over and began to convulse and vomit.

Dragon Mom: Diplomatic NicetiesDragons. Diplomacy. Right, she thought, as she continued though the introduction she'd been drilling the past week.

"But Daddy's got money!" the girl protested.

Description: This is a baseline, pre-Revolution anthromorph, suitable for domestic housework, basic education and childcare, administrative functions or light construction, and priced for use by small companies or upper middle-class families. Height varies between 4'10" and six feet, weight 150 to 180 lbs.
