I sure hope Paizo pays reparations for the black community most impacted by dark elf slavery.

@matrix what evil am I supposed to fight in a fantasy world?
Keep in mind, most of these Woke Fucks play murder hobo characters.
Fwiw Pathfinder: Kingmaker has a subplot about freeing two characters from slavery, who later become your companions and ask you to help them have their revenge against former captors
