The Shackled Lord
In Fronia, slaves are as equal to the people as ants are to heels. But Heartsvale goes the extra mile, they take pleasure in the little displays of power, the mind games, the mental torture. Actual torture is to pedestrian but it doesn't stop them from engaging in it from time to time. That does not mean those who wear chains can not return the favor. The people of Heartsvale have their own boogeyman, The Shackled Lord. The one who will one day hang all Fronians for revenge, but to most people it's just a scary story. But others know every story has some truth to it.
Duties
It's expected by the demu that the holder of this position will help them as best they can. From more food, better treatment, escapes or unfortunate accidents, the shackled lord will get it done.
Cultural Significance
The Shackled Lord is the hope of the Demu people. They hope he will one day break the bonds that hold them. The Fronians think he isn't real, a ghost story made up by the Demu to make themselves feel better. So they started making up their own ghost stories about him. He is a frequent villain in Fronian theatre and bed times stories.
