About Sexuality, Slavery and Imperial Morals.
On a note about Sexuality, Slavery and Imperial Morals.
As one might have noticed this quest has been tagged as 'Mature', and it has been with a reason beyond allowing a little more leeway in describing the vulgar, often obscene aspects of life in Imperial Society; You will, for example, be able to construct a brothel in your colony. I am a writer with a dirty mind, and the Mature tag will allow me a bit more wiggle room, even though I shall promise that this quest will never become open smut.
I'll save my horniness in that regard for the side-stories.
In this and in many other ways I will be writing the morals and sexuality of the empire as tolerant, particularly in that homosexuality is regarded as a norm not worthy of any particular note.
In the same way other forms of bigotry will be given only a passing glance in my writing, imperial society has acceptance for many peoples of many walks of life -even if they do have a huge range of colourful names for them- and their acceptance of other cultures -so long as the Empire benefits or at least does not lose out- is a well established fact.
I bring this up also because I expect at some point for the question of Slavery to come up, especially around the Amazons and their interactions with Skeggi/Estalian Conquistadors, and I wish to deal with that subject maturely. With communication and clear information, starting now.
Imperial Law states that slavery is illegal, and while I will allow for moral flexibility on certain fronts, I am not here to rewrite the invention of Chattel Slavery in mirror of the real world's own new-world ventures.
For that reason Slavery will not become an option in-quest, as -in IC justification- the Empire's colonists simply would not tolerate its spread or open existence.
In fact there may be quests rewarding the support of abolitionism in Araby and in the Estalian colonies where the allowance of 'indentured servitude' are far more lax.
