[Location] Knyvz - Slave Caves

[Creeper]

The slaves are kept in a couple of smaller caves. They are generally all expected to sleep in the same area, as the Zith don't quite grasp the concept of privacy, or see why slaves should need it anyway. The slave's beds are rather more comfortable than bare rock, as their Zith masters want them to serve as willingly as possible, and therefore go to moderate lengths to keep them comfortable and happy. They discovered over the years that beds of pine needles are surprisingly comfortable, and every so often, a few of the most well-behaved slaves are allowed onto the surface under the strict supervision of the Zith, in order to gather material for the beds. Sometimes they are even able to forage wild fruits as well, though their diets consist mostly of leftover meat the Zith bring from their kills, which some of them are able to cook by building a fire in a nearby ventilated cavern. The Zith keep the slaves under tight discipline, but there is still tension between them. The easiest slaves for the Zith to capture are those who have been banished from The Spires, with the result that most of them are some form of criminal. Some of these regret the actions that cased them to be banished, and they accept their fate, working quietly and unobtrusively. Others resent their capture, and are prone to jealously of slaves who seem to have gained the particular favor of a Zith. These are the ones who require more frequent discipline, and many have scars from when a Zith has lost patience with their bad attitudes (the slaves who survive this are the ones who learn to submit). Of course, all of the slaves do their best to prove themselves useful and non-threatening, since it is well known that when they have no other purpose, they can still be used to feed a hungry Zith. OOC : One of these caverns is equivalent to the 500GM housing in the starting package. Living here warrants no living expenses, and no seasonal pay, but you must still do 2 work threads as a slave.
