The Ioje Compound is a rajamalan slave camp. High walls and razor-sharp fences surround the compound, situated beneath the blistering sun of Frysta on an arid, dusty world. Rajamala slavers call the complex home, plying their foul trade under direction of the Procurer. Escape is rare and risky, yet even as the ruthless rajamala venture into the World Tree in search of fresh, pliable assets, the compound faces resistance, the names "Eoleli" and "Quaskan" uttered with disgust and revulsion through the highest echelons of Ioje command.
Structures
The administrative centre
The administrative centre is a huge grey building containing offices necessary for managing the compound, including that of the procurer. A records room maintains files on product sales whilst a showroom offers display for prospective slave buyers.
The education centre
The white-washed education centre is a place of aggressive austerity, clustered with spartan classrooms attended by book-branded slave tutors and quill-branded scribes. The overseer watches his charges go about the business of slave indoctrination with an intimidating glare.
The fighting pits
Fist-branded warrior slaves inhabit the fighting pits of Ioje, the musclebound gladiators kept under close scrutiny by the general. The warrior slaves offer a challenge to any who wish to test their mettle against their fierce training.
The whorehouse
Candle-branded strumpets haunt the smoke-hazed chambers of the Ioje brothel, awaiting customers. Though the workers here all well-painted, they show signs of cruel mistreatment. Despite the martial setting, the proprietor of the establishment goes to great lengths to maintain the mystique of the house, soliciting visitors for small tasks and favours to do so.
History
The Ioje compound was discovered by Achaean adventurers in 758 AF, when interplanar pathways through Yggdrasil became open after the escape of Pazuzu from the Prime Material Plane.
