Dost thou enjoy the sunshine? Dost thou savour being surrounded by nature, sleepy meadows, grass, and magickal beasts which may or may not be trying to eat thee? Serfdom provideth all of these. Thou wilt worketh outdoors all the tyme and lyve as humans of low birth were meant to lyve. Literally all the tyme.
2. Exercyse
Modern doctors agreeith that exercise ist beneficial for thine blood circulation, nearly as good as leeches! That physical activity might be healthy may soundeth hard to believe, but wherefore not? Plus, serfdom ist a great way to work off thine ale and mead belly!
