Steras
Steras is one of the few major cities in all of Valderon that still keeps slavery in practice. Although slavery has never been outlawed it is generally frowned upon by most if not all of the free cities. Steras, however, has become wealthy and prosperous off of the trade and has held it deep in its roots. You know Lord Baeland presides over Steras and is known for being the richest of the four lords. The city is surrounded by tall walls with beautifully carved depictions of immense forests and fierce animals on the walls face. Sentries are posted every 15 feet along the top of the walls. Carved right above the gate are bold words saying "Freedom Is Earned". As you come to the gates you see an elf talking to the guards with a small group of slaves behind him.
