Being an avid reader of norse sagas, I'd sincerely hope most well-off households will sport at least a few thralls.

It doesn't seem to me like in TES Dunmer are the evil Dark Elf stereotype they are in so much other fiction.

Considering slavery was banned in Morrowind by the time of Oblivion, and it was a bit after that before things went boom boom... 200 years after it was abolished I see no reason for the Dunmer to all of a sudden try to have slaves in another province.

Look at how civil rights work in the real world. 150 years ago large parts of the USA were dominated by horrible people that owned slaves, and even many non-slave owners dishonorably defended this as a "state's rights" issue (I'm not making this a North/South thing or talking about the civil war in particular, there were riots in the North started by racist slavery supporters). 100 years ago women couldn't vote. It hasn't even been 100 years since segregation ended. 50 years from now people will look back at the civil rights battles of today with the same disbelief that we now look back at the time when women couldn't vote, or segregation, or interracial marriage was illegal, etc.

I think it would be boring if the world of TES was a never changing snapshot. This is different from my other post because my other post only justified it by using the Empire as an example. It has been 200 years for the clear moral value of banning slavery to spread and resonate. Unless Dunmer society continued to be contemptible so long later, it shouldn't happen and if it did it should be an illegal underground ring that most everyone in the province disdains and the authorities fight.

Only if its relevant. My lore knowledge isn't that great but I get the feeling its not really something Nords would stand for and I doubt the dunmer refugees would have enough power or standing to have a signifcant slave trade in Skyrim.

Do keepi in mind it could be illegal. And It could be other races as slavers instead of the Dummner. And Skyrim is in a civil war so I doubt any of the factions would stop it.

What the hell is a skirim?

If it's anything like my plantation, then of course it must have slaves. :rolleyes:

I realized that typo..

I'm indifferent but it could be interesting.The guy who said it could be illegal is right aswell,just because something is outlawed doesn't mean it stops all the way together hell there's still slavery going on in the world now

Total of three topics I have posted in with the same question being asked. I will keep giving the same answer in every one.

I wouldn't mind slavery in Skyrim, because I would make it a personal quest to kill all of the slave owners in the game, and then release their slaves. Slavery is dumb.

I don't think I would ever own my own slave. maybe, but not treat them like a slave. I would treat them like an employee. wait....

Ofcourse I'd just like slavery perhaps some argonians keeping dunmer slaves near black marsh and morrowind borders but i'd like to see it any way

Yes.

I love slavery, it really emphasizes corruption and morality. (Very fun)


And it also seems very likely to have lots of Dunmer immigrants to Skyrim, if they don't decide to scrap Infernal City lore at the last minute. I can imagine them running illegal operations.

This is an update I would like to post, I found this old thread and dug it up . In the new German interview with Todd Howard he explains how the Nord HATE the Elven folk (Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer). They feel that Tamriel should be inherited by the human race and not the elf kind. This could very much instigate slavery. If there is a civil war going on in Skyrim and you need your Nord brothers on the front lines of battle who better to do the grunt work than an Elf and this point? Thoughts?
