Jaraideh

The second-largest city in Gwaifah, Jaraideh boasts around 90,000 permanent citizens and up to 4,000 slavers, buyers, and travelers - along with their human merchandise - at any given time. The Fleshfairs of Jaraideh are the largest slave markets in the Kaspari Empire, and peddlers of human flesh flock to the harbor city.
Newcomers to Jaraideh often find the city intimidating. The city sprawls away from its harbor and forms a jigsaw of smaller districts. No wall or guard towers surround the city, as the biggest threats in the area - natives from the nearby Sabo Jungles - come to the city as customers. Jaraideh holds a reputation as a lawless, dangerous city and crime is surprisingly low as a result. No one wants to be the first to start trouble, as there's always someone tougher and more ruthless on the street, and the losers of conflicts wind up on a block at the Fleshfairs.
Rice fields and orchards grow on steads just outside the city, but slavery provides Jaraideh's main source of income. Some slavers chain their "merchandise" together, but most lock distinctive yellow collars around their slaves' necks. The collars mark individuals as slaves, and a collared slave without an apparent master is considered unclaimed, and draws a great deal of attention. Collared slaves know that attempting to escape simply leads them to different, potentially worse, prisons.
