Freestone Movement

The Freestone Movement was a group of like-minded free Tierra Ug-eres citizens who opposed Ur'Ghkar slave labor on the grounds that it took employment opportunities from lower and working class citizens in the mining and quarrying industries. Most members of the movement were dwarves and gnomes but some humans and elves did stand with the organization.

Sometimes confused with Abolitionists, the Freestoners were often violent towards Ur'Ghkar workers, especially when slave labor was used during labor strikes by the Freestoners. A strong faction within the Movement thought that extermination of the Ur'Ghkar was the only way to insure the security of the free labor market.
