2024-09-12 12:10:55 +0000 UTCNot to say that the roman system of slavery was moral, but it wasn't racialized or otherwise based on essential traits. You lost a battle to the romans, if you were in debt or comitted certain crimes, you could be enslaved, but you could theoretically work your way out of it. It's technically better that the american version, but that of course leaves a huge margin for bad.

2024-09-12 11:41:12 +0000 UTCOn the slavery in Aleth'kar thing, it is legal, but it is looked down on, and it's somewhat more like the roman version, where slaves have certain rights, depending on the circumstances of their slavery. For example, even Kaladin got wages, though lower than a free man, and a slave can theoretically pay off their bond and earn their freedom. The Shattered Plains are an attractive place for slavery because there is little law enforcement or regulation, so illegal practices(probably like the murder of that sick man while Kaladin was en route to the plains) are easy to get away with, and because of the war camps huge need for cheap labour.
