Country of Darkness

People of noble-born blood tend to find themselves living amongst royalty or in upper-class neighborhoods. These people usually are invited to more events, dress in the new fashion to show their status. People of poorer status tend to live in the slums, where crime is high. These people tend to scrape by just barely, and most live on the streets. Then there are slaves, a majority of slaves are Native Spirits or other children of magic who weren't lucky enough to flee. Slaves are either found in camps, where they mine of minerals, in fields where they pick crops, or recently found in households. They have been stripped of their magic and culture, and are often denied basic human rights. They are mocked and are often found in upper-class households.
