In the shallow Underdark lies a small city that enjoys frequent trade with the free nations above and the oppressed nations of below. This small city is called Mattabaranzen and it is governed by dark elves.
In dark elf society, only the females can rule. They run the government, the temples, and all bureaucratic functions of the city. The general make-up of the city is the dark elves. But you can see orcs, goblins, mind flayers, and gray dwarves. Even Aberrations of the Underdark reside within. You also see surface dwellers being held as slaves.
Like most elven cultures this city places a high value on education, ecclesiastic traditions, and artistic endeavors. You can find trade organizations which offer apprenticeships, there are monasteries that take in disciples, but the true students who will someday be masters all go to schools of various arts. There are 2 bardic institutions in the city, one focuses on poetry dance and entertainment type of arts, the other focuses on sculpture painting and various created forms of art.
One of the most famous schools in the known world is institute of Stoccata. Here students select a tantric subject an attempt to master it. The dropout rate is high, but the degree is prestigious and recognized throughout the world. It is here that the world-famous dominatrix known as Mistress Sopara teaches the art of dominance and submission.
During the enrollment. The dominatrix reviews all candidates personally. On one such occasion a young dark elf man name Solvis came to her with a letter of recommendation from the most prestigious house of Duerden. With such a letter admission was guaranteed. However, as the dominatrix reviewed the letter and interviewed the candidate, she discovered that he was there to learn the art of dominance. It was unheard of for a male in this society to learn the art of dominance. His gender would make him more suited as a submissive candidate.
So, the dominatrix asked, "are you really here to learn the art of domination?"
Solvis answered it is my Mistress's will that I learn this art as she likes to watch others dominate her slaves
The dominatrix said what she seeks is dangerous. Perhaps I can sway her to reconsider?
Solvis said I do not think that she will change her mind she is a very strong-willed Mistress.
Very well then, I'll tell you a story. After you have heard the tale you may take it back to your Mistress. And recite it to her. Upon hearing the tale if she still chooses for you to learn the exquisite art of domination then I will instruct you.
There was once a dark elf woman named Sienna. She had skin black as coal. Really, it was quite lovely. She stood 5' tall. A little on the tall side for an elf. She had long crimson red hair (very ugly by Drow standards) and bright Emerald Green eyes. Her hands were long and slender, and breast were sharply pointed. Her smile was devilishly charming. And she could not hide the intelligence that showed in her eyes.
Her family considered her a slacker. That's because they didn't know that she led a secret life. She was really a back-alley cutthroat. Truly, she was a bit of a mafioso. She was in line for taking over the local Guild of scoundrels in the city. In one of her back-room dealings while she was laundering stolen goods, she came across a human male. He was the unfortunate victim of an overwhelming caravan raid. Misfortune made a slave of the survivors, including him.
Sienna quickly determined she could use a slave such as this one, so she cheated at a game of chance and won him.
She led him home with a dagger pointed at his lower back. He was bound by rope and blindfolded and gave no resistance. She directed him to the security of her apartment where she unhooded him and asked him his name in the common tongue.
He said my name is Marius and I speak many languages. I even speak yours If it makes you more comfortable.
He stood 6 feet tall rather average by human terms. However, he was heavily muscled and not an ounce of fat on him. He had long black hair and a well-groomed goatee. Dark green eyes and a piercing stare. He was handsome and a little frightening because of his fearless gaze. But Sienna made it a point not to notice.
She informed him that all the he'd known is lost. That all he would ever know from this point on is that of slavery.
His answer was casual. He just said, "or what you'll kill me?"
"That's right!" she said. "You will die if you ever cease to be my slave. Only in death could you ever be free of me."
"Why not just stab me now and get it over" he said?
