“I was a slave, but never a fool. This empire is vast beyond imagining and we have killed only a fraction of the force they will bring against us.

“Your realm is an insane place. In Volaria, no-one goes hungry, slaves are no use when they starve. Those freeborn too lazy or lacking in intelligence to turn sufficient profit to feed themselves are made slaves so they can generate wealth for those deserving of freedom, and be fed in return. Here, your people are chained by their freedom, free to starve and beg from the rich. It's disgusting.” PeopleCountryWisdomStrongWorkWealthPoorMoneyPowerRichLandWeakMadSlaveHungerIntelligenceProfitHungryInsaneChainsDumbLazyCashUnfortunateIrrationalFreeUtopiaNationPlaceDystopiaServitudeIllogicalEnslavementChainedSlavesNonsensicalFeedUnintelligentBegStarveRealmQuid Pro QuoEnslavedFreebornVolaria Book:Tower Lord Source: Tower Lord
