Saida is trying.

[ArchTeryx]

*sighs* Yes, the Aves are slaves. Saida is just naturally kind to them. The other quetz range from indifferent to hostile from what we've seen. And there is more evidence still in the village. Slavery to the quetz is part of their culture. It doesn't stop the Aves from being treated like garbage by every quetz BUT Saida. Of COURSE they're going to like her. She doesn't blast them to ash every time she gets in a pissy mood.

The Kobold tribe seem a little more, um, independent, though I suspect strongly they're looking for anything shiny to take back to their master and Roko has his hoshi no tama...

This'll end well. At least Virmir didn't say, "Saida is helping."

First of all, The only person who calls the aves slaves is Brand, Brand who Hates quetz.

Second, Are the aves in the village slaves? They are able to live freely with no overlord. And the only thing they need to do is once and a while pay a tithe of eggs. And while we don't know what the Dark aves do with the eggs. The one the Quetz take get to live in a floating palace. Sure they might end up being guards. But ya i don't really see the downsides hear.

Third, We never actual seen the Quetz treat them like trash. Sure thunder bro, smited one but he did it to protect sadia. Other then that What have they done? We in all honesty had such Little interaction with the quetz. That to make the argument that They Hate the aves is kinda dumb. Specialty considering on page 39. Roko who was pretending to be an ave. Was confronted with by a quetz. And he didn't even get a stern talking to.

Like i just don't see it. Like maybe you are blinded by your hatred for them. Just like how brand is. Because until we actual See A sign saying that the Aves are Actual unhappy. I don't think he is a good judge of character. Specialty considering the aves are Willing to Fight Dragons for their overlords. I don't think your average slave is willing to do that.

Ps. If anything i think their either Serfs or Indentured servants. Which are forms of slavery but most people wouldn't compare it to chattel slavery.
