Due to the self-imposed sanctions on Bezantur, the slave markets of Bezantur have been inundated with slaves in recent months which they are now having trouble moving to other markets in Thay. Therefore, Bezantur slavers have begun to notice the slave auctions are not paying as much as they once used to, since those who can afford slaves in Bezantur have as many -or more- than they need.

While the slave merchants insist this is only temporary pay reduction, more veteran slavers grumble they have seen this before and it was a considerably long time before prices rebounded.
