Slave Suk

The Slave Suk was a large, natural cavern that rested at the heart of the ring caverns of Oryndoll.

Description
It sat at the junction of three of the tubes coming from individual rings, and resembled the sphere in the middle of each ring cavern. It only lacked private housing and an outer ring.

The function of the slave suk was a slave market. This was where mind flayers gathered in the city to buy future thralls that were either bought or taken from foreign merchants. Word spreads fast in the city of loretakers, and soon after a slave caravan arrived the market would fill up with illithid that were looking for new thralls.

Illithid drovers would parade the future thralls in front of the crowd. As soon as all the thralls had passed the eager illithid crowd, the bidding began. The bidding was heavily supervised by an auctioneer, and merchants were allowed to set minimum prices for thralls. It was illegal without exceptions to stop the bidding once it began.
