Rover, Selkie Trading Ship.
Approaching North Jadia.
Captain Shane Sclábhaíocht of the Tribe of Wicklow smiled.
His contractor had send him off from Silverport nearly as soon as he had returned with a load of slaves of unimportant origin and loot from his last raid on some villages or the other - and he decided to go for North Jadia. The Kingdoms of Airkhaos always needed slaves and many Selkie-Raiders were more then happy to deliver.
Captain Shane would keep a hefty sum of the profit of selling the slaves, it was simply that way, they would be worked to death whereever needed and it all would start all over again. It was an endless circle.
As long as Captain Shane and his crew made profits, none of them could be bothered to care.
A hundred slaves started the journey, around ninety were still alive, most of which were men between 15 and 30 springs (that was their estimate), adding in a few older people and a few women - none of them were children. They were slave traders, not monsters.
The few women were exotic, maybe beautiful if taken care of properly, while many of the young men were split between cheap everyday workers and a few rather strong looking fellows, which needed speacial persuasion to come along with them.
To ensure none of them rebelled, they not only were bound together by rope down in the cargo hold, but also guarded by a dozen fully armed and armoured warriors. Adding in, that many of the sailors didn't carry their daggers for fun and it were insurmountable odds for the slaves should they choose to rebel.
They could rebel as much as they wanted in their new home they would be sold to. Bulk suppliers would take care of the shipment and would pay him - after that, they would stay for a few days in North Jadia and have some fun.
It would be profitable, Captain Shane knew that.
