There are 2 types of slaves:

1. The Nurashiri

These are taken from provinces. Out of every 30 children below the age of 6, 10 will be taken. They will not take children from families that have less then 3 children. They are taught how to read, write, and do basic things till the age of 16. Then they choose to specialize to become a chef, gladiator, scholar, or something in the service of someone. They have lots of rights, and it is considered a esteemed position.

2. The Makashiri

These are prisoners of war, and such. They serve crude manual labor, and have no rights. They are whipped, brutalized, beaten, and killed.

A small note on sex slaves...

Contrary to popular belief, the Umbarans do not have 'sex slaves' in the usual sense. That is, no one is forced to have sexual intercource unwilling. Children that so decide to at age 16 (quite a few do, as it is a rather highly regarded position that makes quite a bit of cash) can specialize in this field. They are tought the necessary skills, then serve at a Maryere, or a House of Desire, as they are commonly known. They make lots of Money, and are not abused at all. It is not a 'shameful' profession, as in Gondor, and some practice openly. They are limited to a certain quarter if the city, however.

Any questions?
