	Games - Slave Lords

In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons
role-playing game, the Slave Lords are an organization of slavers who have terrorized the lands surrounding the Sea of Gearnat for over two decades. The group's modus operandi has generally been to raid coastal villages for slaves, aboard ships with yellow sails.

History

The Slave Lords evolved out of a similar organization known as the Nine, which was founded by Stalman Klim (also known as Mordrammo), sometime between 569 and 573 CY. Klim, a human priest of the Earth Dragon from the hidden Pomarj town of Suderham, had left Suderham in 569 CY to explore the Flanaess, where he gathered a number of allies, including drow and members of the Scarlet Brotherhood.

In 574 CY, Klim and his allies returned to Suderham, where they slew its last king, Roderic and took control of the town. By 576, the organization had become known as the Slave Lords, though its ruling council was still known as the Nine. Known members of the Nine during this time include:

Stalman Klim
Eanwulf (Also known as Feelta), a human pirate lord
Edralve
, an exiled drow priestess of Lolth
from Erelhei-Cinlu
Lamonsten the Lazy, an illusionist from Dyvers
Nerelas, a human assassin
Slippery Ketta, a human rogue
Ajakstu, a human wizard
Brother Milerjoi, a human monk
of the Scarlet Brotherhood
Brother Kerin, a human monk of the Scarlet Brotherhood, Milerjoi's assistant
Theg Narlot, a half-orc assassin

From 576 to 580 CY, the Slave Lords thrived, raiding for slaves in a number of towns on the Gearnat coast, making slaves one of the Pomarj's most valuable exports. The Slave Lords operations came to an end in 580, due to the machinations of adventurers hired by a coalition of legal authorities known as the Lords of Gearnat, and the destruction of Suderham by a volcanic erruption.

Other known members of the Slave Lords during this period, who were not members of the Nine, include:

Markessa, an elven wizard who performed arcane experiments
Icar, a blind human fighter, perhaps of Touv stock
Blackthorn, an ogre mage
Wimpell Frump, a human illusionist
Sturm Blucholtz, a human rogue

By 591, however, reports had arisen that the Slave Lords had began their depradations once more, finding a new ally in the likes of Turrosh Mak, a powerful despot who had gained control of the Pomarj during the Greyhawk Wars. Their current leadership is unclear, though many suspect a number of the original leaders are still thriving.
