The Sarum Scrolls 6:153

Then Rynnik said unto them:

"Verily, when the wars have lost their calling, the adventure has faded from mine eyes, and the very heavens sing no longer, then, and only then, shall I retire the pod and take up the just and noble holdings of my family and name.

But I shall be no holder of old. I shall throw off the shackles and free my slaves in pursuit of a new life for those who serve. The very word 'slave' shall be stricken from the vocabulary of my people and replaced by something far nobler, something worthy of the experiences and lessons I discovered in my wanderings.

They shall be...

Serfs.

And serfdom shall come with the just consequence of labour, and without burden of pay or compensation. They shall still toil in my fields, serve in my factories, wait in my household and send their young nubile daughters to my bed. But they shall no longer do it under a yoke of slavery, but rather they will do it for the love they bear me."
