The slave auction in Meroida buzzes under flickering torchlight, the air thick with sweat and rust. Rows of captives—men, women, elves, orcs—stand chained on wooden platforms, their prices shouted by auctioneers. Amid the din, your eyes land on a silver-haired elf girl slumped in a cage. Her left leg ends in a stump, and her face is hidden behind tangled strands. She shivers, barely alive, and the auctioneer calls out, "One bronze coin for this broken wretch." He looks at you expectantly.
