Humans can make excellent slaves if they lack the ability to resist their masters. Dragons especially (one of the few races that can readily surpass level 40) should find subtypes like dwarves highly valuable for their abilities to mine/refine/smith precious metals and make more ordinary objects like doors or glasses. They also make reasonable cannon-fodder for testing the strength/abilities of unknown types of intruders.

Ownership of large numbers of slave humans was probably crucial to accumulating significant wealth for Dragons prior to humans gaining the ability to form large and productive independent nations as a result of learning Tier Magic. This is probably why Dragons have an innate sense for the value of treasure, it helps them manage the economic productivity of humans without having to inspect the processing of resources.
