Pol Corde
Pol Corde (Heaven's Heart in Dwarven) is a profitable mining city based around the mining of Adamantine. The source is said to be the remains of a fallen star, though this is not known for certain, the crater the city is built in may add some credence to this tale. The Dwarven family that runs the town and owns the mine prides itself on the creation of items of impeccable craftsmanship that will never lose their edge or luster.
Slavery: The miners are all slaves or indentured servants. Slavery in this city is based on the amount of debt that you owe the city or the common good either monetarily or morally. All debt is owned by the Starmantle family and can be sold to other reputable buyers within the city if the buyer does not intend to make the slave leave the city. If the terms of this agreement are not adhered to by the third party, the deal is off and blood will spill if necessary. The slaves that are in the city are treated well and have reasonable working conditions. At the end of their indenture, the individual may elect to continue in their position as a miner and earn a salary in lieu of paying off debt. The amount of debt owed does not increase unless another act is committed to incur additional debt. There is no interest applied to an individual's debt and the debt decreases at a rate of 1 gold per day, which is the salary that entry-level miners and menials earn in this city.
