Human and Extra-human Trafficking

Human and extra-human trafficking is commonplace in the chaotic environment of post-plague Galwyndor, primarily because of limited manpower, resources, and motivation to fight against it. It is typically seen in conjunction with slavery, and while most is perpetrated by gangs like the Crimson, "official" entities like the Clavic Empire also traffic humans for their own purposes (collecting Carriers and Seeders at Wornspire, for example). It is illegal in every region, at least on paper, but like many other crimes - especially where there is considerable profit involved - oftentimes officials are involved or bribed to look away. For example, in Snowleaf, a young girl tells Queen Caliana of Sable how she was forced into prostitution and used on many occasions by her own law enforcement agents. 
Human Carriers, Seeders, and children are the most sought-after commodities where human trafficking is concerned, but other races such as the Jrel and Attawa are also targets. Because humans hunted them to near-extinction, their rarities make them more valuable as assets to slavers. 
The degree and publicity of human trafficking depends largely upon the setting. It is most prevalent in the Verges, and slaves are often brought by the Crimson to Halfshaer because of its remote location; this is because the Order Patrol in the Verges actively works against the Crimson.
