Slavery in Kintargo

[Shaun]

On page 58 of "In Hell's Bright Shadow", it is implied that there is no slavery in Kintargo. I was planning on having the buying and selling of slaves be illegal in Kintargo, but having slaves is legal (it's still Cheliax, afterall). I thought about making one of Barzillai's proclamations be the legalization of the slave trade in Kintargo. I thought this would really raise people's ire more than most of the other 7 proclamations. Would this cause any issues with the game down the line?

Owning slaves is legal in Kintargo... but it's not very socially acceptable and lots of folks find it gross. It's not something folks parade around with, and those who DO keep slaves in Kintargo tend to keep them out of sight of the public.

According to the Gazetteer in Cheliax: The Infernal Empire, Corentyn is a major hub for the international slave trade, where it is heavily protected and secured. Kintargo could allow slavery and still see itself as much less a slave-holding city than Corentyn.

In my game of HR, I hold that the more pro-thrune families have slaves, while the pro-kintargo families either have free or indentured servants.

Edit: Well there you go, then.
