However, as the larger fair shuts down for the day, another one opens to the setting sun; the infamous Three Crowns Night Fair. Coming to the fair are many who, by necessity or preference, cannot attend during the day. If you come to the Night Fair, you will see strange things and many unique beauties on offer that can’t be seen during the day. Be warned, though, not to stray too far from the lit parts of the fair for one’s safety.

Orcs:

One of the common items you will see being sold at the night Fair are she-orc slaves. Hardy orc slaves are a valuable commodity in the mines, quarries, plantations, any operation which requires a large number of strong, sturdy, though not highly skilled, workers. Many a badlands orc or footslogger in some would-be Dark Lord’s horde has found herself in chains, following their master’s downfall, on the seller’s stand in Three Crowns.

Most buyers, though, find pure-bred orcs to be too stubborn, too wild, for them to handle and too prone to violent resistance. For this, they turn to the half-breeds, pure orc mixed with another, civilized race; human, elf, dwarf or more exotic breeds. Much of the strength and stamina of the orc is retained, but the slave is much more obedient and manageable.

Torgan and Sons have long been a staple of the Night Market. At their stand, one can find a wide range of half-breeds to meet any buyer’s needs, or even pure bloods, usually badlands orcs brought in by the Torgan Co. Hunters each year, should you be interested in attempting to breed your own slaves.
