The Gnummorong must not be repeated. No captive may be bought or sold, no captive may ever work without compensation of silver.
Law of Fergus 4275
We desire that it be known that those of the goblin races cannot be considered captives, for captivity is a crime against humans and Besnir alone.
Law of Fergon 4301
We recognize that hereditary serfs are not slaves, but those who receive land produce and protection of their current lord in lieu of rents. In being serfs, they are kept from starvation and death. And as their state is tied to the land of their birth and cannot be transferred, they are not held by the lord, but by the land itself.
Law of Wald 4422
We recognize that indentured servitude is a voluntary condition and not the same as slavery. It is a wise provision with which the destitute and dispossessed may use to work themselves from debt.
Law of Marten 4858
We desire that the freeborn be paid the minimum sum of 1 silver coin per week of labor and that no indentured servant be held in thrall longer than 7 harvests.
Law of Braolas 5193
In as much as it has fallen to me to set forth the ancient and recognized custom of apprenticeship in all trades; and desiring only to see that the good traditions that bind men continue; I hereby set forth the law and edict of apprenticeship to be observed by all peoples for all times evermore.
