Between the Templar District and Destiny’s Kingdom stands Urik’s slave compound. Sealed off from the rest of the city-state by an impregnable gate, the highwalled compound is an open courtyard with muddy lanes and squalid wattle-and-daub huts. Great stone doors stand across the compound, granting access to Destiny’s Kingdom beyond. Most of the slaves kept here serve—and usually die—in the grueling obsidian quarries of the Smoking Crown.
Slaves pressed into the military have separate quarters and occupy barracks in the Slave Compound, in Destiny’s Kingdom, and outside the city.
