Morrowind:Slaves

< Morrowind

This article is about slaves in general. For the slave class, see Slave (class).

Telvanni slave market

Slavery was once widespread throughout Tamriel, whether it was the practice of using defeated enemies as slaves or selling your own children to combat hunger, and the Dunmer have raided Black Marsh for slaves for ages. Since the advent of the Third Era, slavery was illegal throughout the Empire, but protected by law in Morrowind. This exception was granted by Tiber Septim in the Armistice of 2E 896 as a concession to the Dunmer, who saw the use of slaves as their ancient right. Recent developments have seen the rise of Abolitionists such as the Twin Lamps, often with support from members of the leading families on Vvardenfell. Nonetheless, slavery is still in very widespread use in the province and the topic provokes strong reactions.

Adventurers might run into escaped slaves on their travels, often in remote areas, in danger from guards, beasts and bounty hunters. Many smugglers' caves contain a number of slaves usually locked behind a gate. A safe haven for those poor souls is the Argonian Mission in Ebonheart. Slaves in captivity often have magical bracers preventing their escape, and you would have to find a slave key, should you wish to free them. After freeing 21 slaves, you'll be offered a dialogue about the Twin Lamps and the Code Phrase "Have you seen the Twin Lamps?" to recognize fellow members, the answer required being: "They light the way to freedom."

Slaves in MorrowindEdit

This is a list of all slaves to be found in Morrowind. Most are Argonian or Khajiit (only Yakov in Suran and the slaves at the Slave Market in Tel Aruhn are not). In most cases, their slave key can be found in the same location, either on a table somewhere or carried by the slavers guarding them. In other cases, freeing them is part of a quest. However, in some cases, there is no key to be found. These slaves can still be freed, however. All you need to do is cast Command Humanoid on them, and get them to follow you to the nearest location for which you do have a key. Once they are in that location, your key will work. The majority of keyless slaves are level 3 (thus requiring a magnitude of 3), with the rest being level 2; only Abanji in Molag Mar is higher at level 4, and only Ra'Zahr in Tel Branora and Yakov in Suran are lower, being level 1. After freeing 5 slaves, you will be told about the Twin Lamps. After you have freed 21 slaves, you will be told a secret phrase and Ilmeni Dren in Vivec will have some quests for you. After you free 30, you can speak to Jobasha (also in Vivec) to receive 3 skill books as a reward.
