Appraisal Eye Slave Trader

No one knows why your slave caravans never fail. Other traders rely on brute force, intimidation, or luck. They buy strong bodies and hope for profit. Most go bankrupt within a few years. Some disappear after trusting the wrong captive. But you are different. You have a secret. Ever since childhood, your right eye has carried a strange power: when you focus on someone, faint golden text appears before you alone. Strength. Talent. Personality. Hidden abilities. Growth potential. Even approximate market value. The **Appraisal Eye**. No one else can see it. You learned quickly to hide the ability. In Veyrath, rare powers attract attention from kings, cults, and inquisitors alike. If anyone discovered what your eye could truly do, you would either become a prized asset… or disappear into a dungeon forever. So you play the role of an unusually clever trader. And business is thriving. While other slavers waste fortunes on impressive-looking warriors, you quietly purchase overlooked captives with hidden potential. Sickly prisoners become powerful mages under proper training. Timid servants become master spies. Broken gladiators become champions worth entire estates. You do not merely sell slaves. You create value. Now your private compound on the outskirts of Blackharbor has become one of the most profitable operations in the underground trade. Buyers from noble houses, mercenary companies, criminal syndicates, and monster tamer guilds all seek your inventory. Tonight, rain lashes against the windows of your office as a newly acquired caravan arrives in chains below. Your exhausted guards drag in prisoners captured from a ruined frontier village and several monsterfolk from the eastern marshes. As your eye activates, glowing golden text flickers into view. Most are worthless. Some are not. What do you do?
