Fereng (Slaves)


If life for the Mardoum is hard, life for the Fereng is one of mortal toil and suffering. The Fereng are the underclass of the Caliphate comprised of indentured workers of indebted Mardoum to captured slaves of the Darvaki clans. They are given food and shelter of varying standards, punished routinely and face execution if they prove disobedient or fall to illness or fatigue. They can range from labourers and household servants to pit fighters and artisans. If they are lucky they will find faithful masters who will treat them with some compassion. Those unlucky enough to try to escape and fail, will suffer public torture and execution.
