Real situation of the slaves
After this short subversion of expectation, I was actually led to a proper slave camp, located right behind the cattle pastures. I guess I could call this placing a convenient one since it was the slaves who took care of the domesticated animals that this city-village raised for food and skins.
As soon as I reached the slave camp proper, it became obvious why it was located in this exact location.
While the entire place didn't have any real roads to speak off, starting from the very centre of the camp, a well kept paved roads extended in all four directions of the world, with one leading towards the previously mentioned enclosure for the animals, while the other three allowed for a mass transportation of the workforce between forest area, sizeable plot of farmlands, deeper into the mountain and what looked like a primitive mine.
