Slavery

Dunmer have traditionally permitted enslavement of Imperials, Nords, Orcs, Khajiit, and Argonians. They do not recognize the mistreatment of slaves of these races as a serious crime, other than as a crime against property. By the terms of the Armistice, Morrowind may define its own laws and customs, and slavery remains legal. Slavery is uncommon in Redoran and Hlaalu districts, but common in Telvanni Districts.

Slavery is protected by law in Morrowind. Slavery is illegal throughout the Empire, and considered barbaric. Slavery had disappeared in the Summerset Isles and Valenwood long before their incorporation into the Empire. Most Imperial citizens assume the practice will die out as Morrowind adopts Imperial ways, and the subject excites little passion except among Argonian and Khajiit abolitonists, outraged that the Empire does little to supress persistent illegal cross border slave raiding in southern Morrowind.
