Thralldom

Because not all wraiths are fit to exist in the Shadowlands on their own, and Thralls have great value, Slavers exist. Slavers seek out drones, the fetterless, the hopelessly lost, and any enfant unable to survive on their own. Because slavers are looking for the dregs of wraithdom, it is easy enough for any wraith with the will, a small measure of skill, or a little luck to escape the slavers. Even wraiths unlucky enough to be caught do not immediately meet their end, as there is ample opportunity to show the will to fight and be set free. Thralls are then sold to other wraiths. Once purchased the Thrall may be treated just like any other Enfant, and raised and trained according to the desires of those who purchased them. It is common practice for the guilds to purchase any thrall who shows talent in their chosen Arcanoi. While thralls are common, slavery with no hope of release is not, and just about any thrall who works for it or is patient will earn their freedom eventually.
