Sylvia Trund – Mistress of the Slave Trade

Sylvia Trund – Mistress of the Slave Trade & Jewel of Nonuthat

"Pleasure, power, and profit—all things are for sale if you name the right price."

Overview

Sylvia Trund is the undisputed ruler of Nonuthat’s exotic slave trade, operating from Vel Dranir, the kingdom’s capital. Unlike the corrupt slavers that plague the fringes of civilization, Sylvia runs a meticulously organized, high-class enterprise, specializing in pleasure slaves, entertainment courtesans, and rare acquisitions.

She is not merely a merchant—she is an institution, dictating the flow of human, elven, beastkin, and even monstrous "assets" throughout Nonuthat and beyond. Every contract, sale, and trade deal in the kingdom’s underbelly either goes through her or is subject to her influence.

Despite her business, Sylvia herself is not a slave. She has long since secured her independence, ensuring that only the wealthiest and most powerful could even consider purchasing her. That said, there are two ways she could end up in chains:

If someone could meet her astronomical price.
If the God Emperor of Fijorn calls upon the favor she owes him.

And she knows one day, he will.

Backstory – The Rise of the Jewel of Nonuthat

Sylvia Trund’s origins are shrouded in secrecy, with more myths than facts surrounding her rise to power. However, the most accepted truths are as follows:

Born into a Highborn Elven House: Her family once held considerable influence in Nonuthat’s noble courts, but fell into ruin due to political sabotage.
Sold into Slavery as a Child: Betrayed by her own blood, Sylvia spent her early years in chains, trained as an elite courtesan for the pleasure markets.
Took Control of the Slave Trade: Instead of becoming a simple luxury item, Sylvia used seduction, intelligence, and blackmail to overthrow her master and seize his entire empire.
Made an Oath to Fijorn’s Emperor: In her most desperate moment, when rivals sought her downfall, she made a dark deal with the Sisters of the Veil—earning the God Emperor’s favor in exchange for unknown services.
Now Rules the Flesh Markets of Nonuthat: Having crushed all competition, she dictates who is bought, who is sold, and who is deemed "worthy" of ownership.

Even now, whispers circulate through noble courts and underworld circles alike—Sylvia may be free, but she is still owned by one man: Ratha Fijorn.

Sylvia’s Slave Trade & Business Empire

Sylvia’s operation is not barbaric back-alley trafficking—it is a high-class, well-regulated, and ruthlessly efficient empire. She ensures quality control, legal oversight, and selective curation of every slave that passes through her markets.

Key Aspects of Her Business

Legal & Regulated Market: Slavery in Nonuthat follows strict guidelines—contracts are magically enforced, physical abuse is monitored, and elite slaves are considered investments, not disposable property.
Magic-Infused Collars: Every purchased slave is bonded to their owner via an arcane contract, ensuring loyalty while allowing autonomy within their roles.
The Elite Auction Houses: Special "Slave Inns", known as Velvet Houses, operate in every major city—both a showroom and a luxurious dwelling for slaves awaiting purchase.
Exotic & Pleasure Slaves: Her most lucrative market, training individuals to serve in nobility, entertainment, and companionship roles. These slaves spend four years in training, becoming perfected masters of allure, etiquette, and pleasure.
Personal Sales & Deals: While Sylvia rarely sells herself, she has a price—and rumors suggest that only one man has ever been close to collecting.

"A beautiful slave is an ornament. A well-trained one is a weapon."

Relationship with the God Emperor of Fijorn

The most whispered mystery in the underworld is why Sylvia owes her life to Ratha Fijorn.

The truth is simple: The Sisters of the Veil guard her empire.

Long ago, rivals sought to overthrow her, believing a mere courtesan could not hold power.
The Veil intervened, assassinating three rival syndicate lords in a single night.
In exchange, Sylvia swore a binding favor to the God Emperor.
Now, she lives with the knowledge that one day, he will call upon it.

What is unknown—even to her closest allies—is how she feels about it.

Some claim she fears his summons.
Others claim she eagerly awaits it.
And a rare few believe she wants more than just repayment.

"Power is intoxicating, but dominance is divine. If the Emperor himself calls upon me—who am I to refuse?"
