Slavery

Slavery was a practice among certain cultures that forced a sentient creature to serve another, often against their will. Slavery differed from other forms of service such as indentured servitude or apprenticeship in that slavery was of an indefinite duration and the slave rarely had any choice in the arrangement.

Athkatla
Slavery was legal in Athkatla.

Mulhorand
The majority of Mulhorandi were slaves. Slaves in Mulhorand were guaranteed humane treatment by law and were treated better than slaves in other lands.

Procampur
Slavery was illegal in Procampur and any slaves brought into the city were freed.

Ravens Bluff
Slavery was illegal in Ravens Bluff but there was an active slave trade with the drow in the Underdark beneath the city.

Thay
Slavery was legal and commonplace in Thay. Thayan enclaves brought slavery (though only inside the enclave grounds) to several settlements all over Faerûn. Though not permitted to trade in slaves out of the enclave, this did sometimes occur.

Underdark
Slavery was a fact of life among 'civilised' Underdark cultures such as the drow and they were known to keep slaves of many races. Aberrations like the mind flayers and aboleths kept charmed or dominated thralls instead of slaves.
