    Vassal basically means slave.


    vas·sal (vās'əl) Pronunciation Key
    n.

    1. A person who held land from a feudal lord and received protection in return for homage and allegiance.
    2. A bondman; a slave.
    3. A subordinate or dependent.
    Emotion, passions, and desires are, thus peace is not.
    Emotion: you have it or it has you.

    Slave isn't entirely accurate. While it's true that serfs are vassals of their lord, Dukes are vassals of their King as well, and they're hardly slaves.
    Fear nothing except in the certainty that you are your enemy's begetter and its only hope of healing. For everything that does evil is in pain.
