Strive for Development!
In the bustling world of guilds and commerce, apprentices in various life professions were levied a fee of ten silver coins, beginners a single gold coin, intermediates twenty, and those few who reached the advanced level faced a hefty fee of five hundred gold coins.
However, Logan, the shrewd mind behind the slave-collection ventures, had set his sights lower. His operations primarily targeted small to medium-sized orc tribesñ rarely more than ten thousand strong. It was a safe bet that such tribes lacked not only the resources but the advanced professionals who commanded such astronomical fees.
On the other end of the spectrum were the gargantuan tribes, teeming with tens of thousands. These tribes, rich in both resources and high-level professionals, were beyond the reach of any mere slave-hunting group. To target one would be folly; the royal court itself would swiftly intervene. Such audacity transcended mere hubris.
