The Abolition of Slavery

In the year 825, two leaders met for negotiations.

Nefer Ur came armed with knowledge — and a single sheet of paper containing his calculations:

• How many could still be resurrected.

• How many could potentially fight under the Empire’s banner.

In the end, the only concession Nefer Ur won was a decree banning the enslavement of the Zem people. It was a small victory, but a victory nonetheless. Nefer Ur pressed on with the next phase of his plan.
