Now, the Wheel of Time also describes a world in which there is a spectrum of slavery. Could you tell us how you created this range of relationships?
Well, when you’re talking about a spectrum of slavery…the entire concept of slavery is unknown to the inhabitants of the world in…the central nations where we’ve met our primary characters. The later appearance by Seanchan—people from over the ocean—bring in complexes of slavery, and I’ve lifted a number of these out of history in various ways, and various places. There have been many times in which slaves rose to political power, in which entire bureaucracies of civil servants consisted totally of slaves, and of course there have been slave armies, the Janissaries being the most famous and perhaps the fiercest.
