Very interesting edit.  A loranor half-breed might have worked well, or a Galaw 'high orc'; I always sort of see them as 'sophisticated noble savages', so they might have played a similar role as opposed to that of a 'typical' orc.  The Galaw even originated in Hieyoks, and the northern Galaw might even go back and forth? 

As it was, the Draak Harg got a sudden and expanded role!  Go reptile guy!   The lines of Yago now being said by a Draak Harg now known as "Ssaal" took a little getting used to, as I imagined Yago as sort of smug and charming, Ssaal becoming a bit sleazy saying the same lines, maybe as a reptile guy is going to be expected to be--reptilian in personality? 

My understanding is that the Draak Harg are sort of supposed to be THE slaver race on Aiers, but with the exception of one slave trader in the Quiebrahuesos story, they haven't worked out that way.  Of course, they really haven't been seen much.  They seem an uncommonly seen race too, so I've come to see them as a race that is mostly underground or at the margins in one way or the other.  Dwarves seem so much more capable slavers from what I've seen!

From their perspective, they are in a world surrounded by mammals, and are likely wise to remain in the shadows, as they'd be hounded from most quarters?  A calculating mind with a clever use of speaking might be very useful indeed.

The Bloody Banner has drow backers?  I must have missed that the first time around?  The 'local' drow, the Dungeandar Drow, being the "D&D" drow, arguably, the most evil and insular drow culture in Aiers.  I could imagine that they would make deals and such through middlemen.  I've wondered before, too, if Roccasone itself, despite its hate for non-humans, slave traded with them, (or a city, or great house, to be more specific) as they would have been an obvious market for excess slaves? 

Indeed, as Roccasone was no longer growing very quickly, they might have sold most of the slaves they captured?  Quite possibly most of them back to--different--Polforian peoples, but some to races like dwarves or drow?  Or Draak Harg?  I'm not sure that there any population centers close by, although maybe some lived in Brum.  Additionally, a winged Draak Harg race lived in Dol Nur as demon servers of the Witch King.

Anyway, nice job at an unexpected need for a 'fix'.
