As far as we know the mainland of Morrowind was spared the fate of Vvardenfell and that it was the seat of House Dres witch was infamous for slavery. Now the Argonians did drive the Dunmer out of Morrowind and into Solstheim but is it that much of a stretch to see House Dres be flung as far as Skyrim? That and the only reason most of Morrowind gave up the slave trade was because of the empire. With the empires influence waning i don't think things look to well for our furry (and scaly) friends.

No. Considering the civil war is about whether or not Skyrim should abandon the Empire and the Empire outlawed slavery, it's not going to happen. It's also 200 years later, so I'd hope the Empire putting its foot down about slavery would have some lasting effect on society even if the Empire itself doesn't have the power it used to.

Will Slavery be in Skyrim?

Before or after my character arrives?

If there are slavers they will lie in pools of their own blood, clinically and efficiently butchered, same as Fallout.

Nords don't need slaves to do their work. They're real men. (And women.)

This

:disguise:

Its possible maybe small groups of Dunmer with slaves vut only in small groups, but it wont be as heavy as it was in Vvardenfell Island we will have to wait and see.

Yeah but there is always someone who is willing to make someone else do all the work.

I think due to its proximity to morrowind, the fact that vikings took slaves and that its a topic you can fill with emotion I wold think they could slip it in neer the border or something. saying that it wouldn't be surprising if they left it out.

I don’t think so.

It takes a lot of infostructure to support something like slavery. Doesnt seem like Skyrim has that.

Of course I dont know [censored] and am just speculating.

True so very true... :sadvaultboy:

They may be inspired by vikings but they are far from being vikings, as I take Nords they are honorable and proud, along with the Redguards they are most likely the most honorable race there is, they are just a bit rough and may not understand if something is really bad, but I doubt something that evil like slavery would be common along the Nords.

Skyrim could well be a source of slaves. Barring Africa, the largest source of slaves in Eurasia was the Caucasus, a harsh, perpetually feuding region of fractious tribes and awesomely rugged mountains. Sound familiar?

Oh... I'm so going to roleplay a dunmer slaver. :disguise:

My Dunmer believes in Dunmer tradition and he believes in slaves and he hates the oppression of the empire and those vile Imperials.

I'm tempted to run a Morrowind game as an argonian slaver, just for the irony...

Slavery doesnt require a lot of infrastructure. its one of the most common practices in ancient times even before civilized political governments. all you need are a few people with weapons to keep the slaves in line

actually the argonians should be stronger then ever now.they aren't having any problems cuz they had loose ties with the empire in the firstplace. they tok morrowind. black marsh is boomin i guarantee that. unlike cyrodil and skyrim they probably have a pretty stable little government goin on.

My thought exactly. :thumbsup:

I don't think it was the empire that was stopping slaves, there was no law passed that prevented it, it was just frowned upon

The way slavery is depicted in TES is a complete joke. Not in the least bit believable

Destroyed, utterly.

If there are any Dres nobles left, they were running for their lives from their previous slaves and their Argonian liberators/rebels. They wouldn't have had time to take their slaves with them, and would likely have had a very difficult time keeping control of them with all that going on.

The most likely Dunmer nobles to survive would have first been Hlaalu, already abiding by the Empires laws and accepting outsiders, next Telvanni(if anyone figures a way out to live through that mess, they would have) and finally Redoran, who probably would have been the most likely to have territory close to Solstheim. Dres and Indoril on the other hand, being the smallest and/or the Weakest, dependent on their position in society(Indoril's control of the Temple) and location(Dres's control of the agriculture), the ones that abused the beasts the most and closest to them, means that this disaster would have left them in utter shambles if they even survived at all. The few that might have, are those that have managed to accept the changes and adapt to their new situation.

The Dunmer cannot afford to keep slaves anymore, they have enough trouble just trying to survive right now.

i dont think there will be slavery maybe racism but not slavery

Definitely not. Morrowind is obliterated and controlled by Argonians (and before that slavery was dismantled by King Helseth anyway), and they were the only ones who had slaves in the first place. It's possible that some people around Tamriel have slaves now that the Emprie has fallen, but it won't be a large ordeal like it was in Morrowind.


Actually, it was. Slavery was illegal throughout the Empire, except in Morrowind. The only way they could get Morrowind to join the Empire was to allow them to keep slaves and other "traditions" (i.e. self-rule via houses).

There has to be enough of a class/power system in place to import, organize, feed, and oppress any kind of a substantial slave population.

Of course, to this day, there are examples of more localized slavery, but these are largely do to various social/political/religious cast systems that the Nords don’t seem to practice.

But these are all mute points, because the only thing that matters is if the developers think it would fit well with the game world, which I don’t think they will.

Though, as I said before, I don’t know [censored]. :no:
