Slavery in AoC

So this is an actual serious question because it matters for both Roleplay and for understanding the game better. BUT is slavery a thing in the world of Verra and I mean the Roman concept of slavery such as anyone and everyone can be a slave. I am curious about this because most games either shy away from it or do not make light of it in their lore such as Elder Scrolls with their downplay of the Dunmer and Argonian history.
And the reason to ask this. Is how do each of the races view the concept of lordship, slavery, and other hiearchy type issues. I know you are holding out on lore but it is an interesting topic that should be discussed some as slavery has been in human culture since man was able to settle down and farm.

I think we have to pay them wages, though.
I doubt that slaves are going to be a thing for us to have to contemplate.
Rather than that, there are no friends between enemies I guess, there was a few comments back there talking about enslaving enemies after/during sieges and so on. What's more during these types of times with kings and nobles slaves were not something uncommon.
If your node is weaker than others and other guilds/notes are threatening you with war if you dont build the buildings that they want and dont make the prices that they want or dont pay them a tribute = welcome to slavery again!
You can then open up options where a religious node would have quests to fight other nodes or leave it to player agency to decide if it should be allowed on a server or not.
In Eve Online they actually have a npc faction called the Amarr that enslaved another called the Minmatar lore wise. Long story short there are guilds that actually risen where they are the races of those factions that fight each other in the lawless space just because of ideological differences (one supporting enslavement the other freedom for said people)
Coming to your shop to rob you xD Id totally do that.
I honestly don't see the orc races wanting to participate in any form of slavery. If anything I see both human factions being the ones to perpetrate the systems of enslavement. The Kaelar as they basically sound no different then the ancient Egyptians or Romans with the empire coming before the individual. Another thought that crosses my head is the slave revolt of Oriath act V in Path of Exil.
Vaelune is what I think of the caravan that picked up the general in the movie Gladiator. Another one is the Arab empire in ancient times and even the British slave trade.
Another thing is that it's near impossible for IS to create those extra worlds, I mean the effort that would go into it is insane.
Going back to the previous world might be good for an expansion a loooong time down the line though or having the gates open and the people there coming into to try and take over this place where we have settled?
