Since Sirion is in 'semi-retirement' due to managing a Kingdom. After spending about a month learning about the new land that he has been placed in power of, Sirion has made a decision.
The slothful nature of his subjects revolts him. Having slave labor isn't, overall, beneficial in his eyes, it means that we lose more individual power to these lesser races the more we have. Not to mention there always runs the risk of rebellion if there are too many.
(( *Attempts to Write A Speech/Address to his People* ))
"…By depending on slaves, we weaken ourselves by leaning on the craftsmanship of those we capture. These slaves make not the goods of the Lizard Kings, their results and products are inferior to our own, as is the blood they harbor. It would be a disgrace to let these slaves and their petty efforts dilute our culture further. For this reason, all slaves already captured will hence force be treated as indentured servants. At the end of their terms of servitude, they will be deported, ridding us once and for all of their weaknesses and empowering us, as the true Lizard Kings, to seize our destiny ourselves and not from the hands of some lesser being. We deserve the best, and that comes from the power we have ourselves. It's time to become Lizard Kings…"

Effective ASAP:
1) Slaves will be systematically processed as 'servants' for the remainder of their time (determined via behavior and criminal activity). Servant time is generally not more than a year unless poor behavior or crime is observed.
2) Criminals* with acceptable behavior will be used as labor to maintain the city's streets and other structures not privately owned as needed, as they have lost their right to freedom through crime.
3) Slave Raids and Capture will cease, in preparation for this new and greater kingdom fueled solely by the ambitions of the Lizard Kings and approved constituents and associates.
4) Trade Schools will be opened to allow for the proliferation of crafts and trades to better equip the true Lizard King populace for this transition of self-actuality.
Deportations will likely be done with the assistance of a third party, likely the services of the East Injia Trading Company as they are a fairly widely accepted and public organization.
*Criminals sentenced to death will be used in arena matches where they will compete for their extended existence in incarceration until 4 victors can be pitted against each other. The Champion will have earned his life, but not his freedom. Any Champion is allowed to re-enter the arena for bouts against other champions. Disputes between criminals that cannot be solved with disciplinary action will be referred to the arena. The victor, however loses any chance at freedom and must continue to fight for his life until he dies or become an Champion. Official gambling is government run as part of the Arena. Regardless of the Win, the house (Government) takes 10%.
(( Losses are absorbed by the state. Wins are Doubled minus the 10% that the state takes since it is they who are maintaining their favorite fighter. ))
Gambling is encouraged on arena matches, as the whims of fate weigh more heavily on the lesser races.
(( I think that's a good enough start. If any RP or events should occur, I'll attempt to respond to them here as needed unless they happen in game on ORPG. ))
