MAGISTRATES AND FREE WOMEN BOTH FROWN ON
THIS PUBLIC PRACTICE WHAT IS IT?

for example although one may see a girl in the streets naked
save for say her brand and collar or a bit of chain this is not
common this sort of thing is done usually only as a discipline
free women tend to object for the eyes of their companions tend
almost inadvertently to stray to the exposed flesh of such girls
perhaps too they are angry that they themselves are not permitted to
present themselves so brazenly and lusciously before men needless to say it
is difficult for men to keep their minds on business when such girls are
amoung them perhaps this is the reason that magistrates tend to frown
upon the practice after all goreans goreans are only human

GUARDSMAN OF GOR PAGE 103

THE PREFERRED SLAVE OF POLMARKOS OF TEMOS WAS LURED
INTO A STRANGERS TENT AND ULTIMATELY STOLEN ON THE
PROMISE OF TASTING THIS RARE ITEM WHAT WAS IT?

amoung these petitioners came one fellow bringing with him the promise
of a gift of wine.a wine supposedly secret the rare falarian a wine only rumored
amoung collectors to exist a wine supposedly so rare and precious that its cost might
purchase a city she of course would test this she though only a slave would choose to
sip it "

"arrogant slave i said the woman put down her head even more whimpering trembling
no slave takes wine without the permission of the master and even then as often as not
she takes it only on his command and uder his eye usually kneeling before him sometimes
even he puts his hand in her hair bends her head back and pours it down her throat it is
done by his will."

"the wine of course he said was too precious to have been brought with him but it is in his
tent she summons her palanquin and bearers male slaves and is to be carried to this place too in
this fashion the matter may best be kept secret from her attendants she is often carried about the
cosian camp in her closed palanquin by bearers this excites little curiosity in his tent she will
taste the wine demanding even that he pour it for her it is done she looks at him startled can this wine
which seems like a cheap ka la na be the rare falarians but in a moment she is unconscious arrangement
have already been made with the bearers of course they will receive their freedom it could have been done
otherwise byt this is best they were known had we substituted others for them we would have increased our
risks too left behind they might well have been killed absurdly enough by the cosians an unnecessary and foolish
waste of able men in my opinion whereas i now have four more grateful loyal fellows in my ranks any one
of whom i think would willingly die for me"

NAMING A SLAVE HAS MORE IMPLICATION
THEN JUST MAKING IT EASIER TO CALL HER.
A NAME CAN BE USE TO HUMBLE OR PUNISH
A WOMAN.FOR A SLAVE OF GOREAN ORIGIN
WHAT IS THE WORSE TYPE OF NAME THAT CAN
BE PLACED UPON HER?

"a common punishment for a slae girl of gorean origin
is to give her an earth girl name. Audrey,Margaret such
names from the gorean point of view the earth girl is
not only not gorean and thus different and thus likely to be
despised at least at first but is usually viewed as an illiterate
barbarian which of course from the occasionally have some inkling
though an imperfect one of certain negativistic antibiological
cultural pathologies of earth in virtue of which they suspect that some
of the earth women may have formed incorrect views on certuan matters
too they suspect she may have profited from and perhaps even sought wittingly
to exploit such pathologies this does not please them"

TRIBESMEN OF GOR PAGE 248

"names too of course may be used to humble and punish a
woman and such names humbling names and punishing names
are as much real names as the most beautiful of names that is then
who she is perhaps in the future she will try much harder to be pleasing
that she might be given a better name"

RENEGADES OF GOR PAGE 145

THERE ARE MANY PUNISHMENTS A SLAVE
OF GOR MAY ENDURE ONE OF THEM IS
"PUNISHMENT BY IRON" WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

"i saw rask with a heavy glove draw forth one of the iron
from the fire it terminated in a small letter about a half of
an inch hight the letter was white hot.
"this is a penalty brand" he said "it marks you as a lier"
"please master" i wept
"i no longer have patience with you" he said "be marked as what you are"
I screamed uncontrollably as he pressed in the iron holding it firmly into
my leg then after some two to four Ihn he removed it. i could not stop
screaming with pain i smelled the odor of burned flesh my own i began to
whimper i could not breathe i gasped for breath still the men held me
"this penalty brand" said Rask of Treve lifting another iron from the brazier again with
a small letter at its glowing termination "marks you also as what you are a theif"
"please no Master" i wept
i could not move a muscle of my left leg it might as well have been loacked in a vise it must
wait for the iron i screamed again uncontrollably i had been branded as a theif
"this third iron" said Rask of Treve :is too a penalty i mark you with it not for
myself but for Ute"
through raging tears i saw white hot the small letter
"it marks you as a traitress"said Rask of Treve he looked at me with fury
"be markded as a traitress"he said
then he pressed the third iron inot my flesh as it entered my flesh biting and
searing i saw Ute watching her face betraying no emotion i screamed and wept
and screamed still the men did not release me Rask of Treve lifted the last iron it
was much larger the letter as its termination some and a halft inches high it too was
white hot i knew the brand i had seen it on Enas thigh it was the mark of Treve.Rask
of Treve had decide that my flesh should bear that mark
"no Master please" i beg him
"yes worthless slave" said he"you will wear in your flesh the mark of the city of Treve"
"please" i begged
"when men ask you" said he "who it was that marked you as a lair,theif and traitess point to this
brand and say i was mared by one of Treve who was displeased with me"
"do not punish me with the iron" i cried
i could not move move my thigh it must wait helpless for the blazing of the iron
"no" i cried "mo"
he approached me i could feel the terible heat of the iron even inches from my body
"please no" i begged
the iron was poised
i saw his eyes and realized i would recieve no mercy he was a tarnman of Treve
"with the mark of Treve"he said "i brand you slave"

YOU COME UPON A SLAVE LEASHED TO A
POLE OUTSIDE HER OWNER'S HOME.DESPITE
THE ADEQUATE LENGTH OF HER LEASH SHE IS
ON ALL FOURS CRAWLING ABOUT THE GROUND
DOING HER CHORES YOU STOP SPEAK TO HER BUT
SHE RESPONDS ONLY WITH GROWLS AND WHIMPERS
A PLEADING LOOK IN HER EYES WHAT DO YOU THINK
IS GOING ON?

"i noted that she had spoken without permission perhaps she
thought of herself as a free woman at least with me a man of
earth perhaps high slaves were accorded such liberties in the kasbah
i did not know i effected nothing critical at this point later if i
wished i could make it clear to her that she was not unless in extraordinary
circumstances to speak without having first obtained permission this is
not unusual with slaves. also she could be silenced with a word she was not a
free woman i might even i thought put her in the bondage of the she sleen or she
tarsk and deny her words refusing to let her rise to her feet and limiting her
discourse to small sounds whimpers and such by which she might attempt as she
could to make clear her wants"

TRIBESMEN OF GOR PAGE 372

IF THE COLLAR OF A SLAVE IS TO BE
CHANGED THE MALE COMMONLY
DOES SO FROM BEHIND THE GIRL
THIS HELPS HER TO KEEP IN MIND
THAT SHE IS SLAVE WHAT PRECAUTIONS
ARE TAKEN DURING THIS CHANGE OF
THE COLLAR?

"he liked the way her hair now fell to the sides
of her neck he could see the base of her bowed
neck with the short fine hairs there he considered
what it would look like in a slave collar it is there
at the back of the neck incideentally that the collar
commonly closes and locks if the collar is to be changed
the male does so from behind the girl this helps her to
keep in mind that she is a slave if a new collar is to be
placed on the girl this is commonly done before the old one
is removed if a girl is between collars or is being fitted or
such she is commonly bound hand and foot her limbs may be
freed of course once she is again in collar"

KUR OF GOR PAGE 64

EACH OF THE CLANS OF THE WAGON PEOPLE BRAND
THEIR BOSK AND THEIR SLAVES WITH THE SAME MARK.
DESCRIBE THE BRAND OF THE KASSAR?

"beside him but as Ubars rode three other men whom i took to be
chief among the kassars the kataii the paravaci i could see surprisingly
near the forefront of their respective lines the other three men i had seen
on coming to the Wagon People conrad of the kawwars hakimba of the
kataii and tolnus of the paravaci these like kamchak rode rather near their
their respective standard bearers.the standard of the Kassars is that of a scarlet
three weighted bola which hangs from a lance the symbolic representation of a
bol three circles joined at the center by lines it used to mark their bosk and slaves"

NOMENDS OF GOR PAGE 109-110

THERE ARE THREE STANDARD MARKING PLACES FOLLOWING THE RECOMMENDATIONS
OF MERCHANT LAW FOR THE MARKING OF KAJIIRAE CAN YOU NAME THEM?

"i felt her left thigh most girls are branded on the left thigh perhaps this is because most Master are
right handed.the brand then as one controls the slave may be easily caressed but her left thigh wore
no brand her right thigh too as i soon noted did not wear the slave mark nor did her lower left abdomen
these are the three standard marking places following the recommendation of merchant law for the
marking of kajirae with the left thigh being in practice the overwhelmingly favored brand site"

FIGHTING SLAVE OF GOR PAGE 321

THERE IS A SAYING ON GOR A SAYING WHOSE ORIGIN IS LOST IN THE PAST THAT ONE WHO
SPEAKS OF HOME STONES SHOULD STAND WHY IS THIS?

"my father had risen to his feet and had begun to pace the room and his eyes seemed strangely alive in time
i would come to understand more of what he felt indeed there is a saying on gor a saying whose origin is lost
in the past of this strange planet that one who speaks of home stones should stand for matters of honor are here
involved and honor is respected in the barbaric codes of gor"

URT PEOPLE ARE VERY FOND OF A
PARTICULAR KIND OF GOREAN FRUIT
WHAT FRUIT IS THEIR FAVORITE?

"do not be afraid" I said,I took a slice of hard
larma from my tray. This is a firm single seeded
applelike fruit. it is quite unlike the segmented juicy
larma it is sometimes called and perhaps more aptly
the pit fruit because of its large single stone i held it up
so that he could see it the urt people i understood were
found of pit fruit indeed it was for having stolen such fruit
from a state orchard mat he had been incarcerated he had been
netted put in a sack and brought here that had been more than
six months ago i had learned these things from the jailer when he
had thrust the creature in with me the creature approached warily then
it lifted its long arm and pointed a long index finger at the fruit"

PLAYER OF GOR PAGE 267

THE URT PEOPLE COMMUNICATE AMONGST THEM SELVES WITH A
SERIES OF SQUEALS DO THEY EVER LEARN TO SPEAK GOREAN?

"too however i knew the urt people could and did upon occasion as their rare
contacts with civilized fold,communicate in a type of gorean many of the words
evidencing obvious linguistic corruptions for others interestingly apparently closely
resembling archaic gorean a language not spoken popularly on gor except by members
of the caste of Initiates for hundreds of years i had little difficulty however in understanding
him he seemed an intelligent creature and his gorean was doubtless quite different from the
common trade gorean of the urt people it had doubtless been much refined and improved in the
prison"

HOW DO URT PEOPLE COMMONLY COOUNICATE AMONGST THEMSELVES?

"He uttered a kind of hissing squal i supposed that might be his name the urt people
as i understood it commonly communicate among themselves in the pack by means of such signals
how complicated or sophisticated those signals might be i did not know.they did tend to resemble the
natural noises of urts in this i supposed they tended to make their presence among the urts less obvious to
outside observers and perhaps too less obvious or obtrusive to the urts themselves"

PLAYERS OF GOR PAGE 267

AN URT PACK IS VERY SENSITIVE TO THE MEMBER OF ITS PACK THEY WILL RECOGNIZE
IMMEDIEATELY WHEN AN INTRUDER EVEN ONE OF ITS OWN KIND.IS AMONGEST THEM.
HOW DO THE URT KNOW WHEN A BEAST IS NOT OF THE PACK?

"i look back at the pack the matter had to do with odor i was sure that would explain why a strange
urt though even of the packs own species would be fallen upon and killed if it attempted to join the
pack"

PLAYERS OF GOR PAGE 281

YOU COME UPON A HERD OF WILD URT THEY ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SO YOU DO NOT
APPROACH BUT REMAIN FAR UP ON THE HILLTOP YOU SEE MOVEMENT AMOUGST THEM SOMETHING
ODD AS YOU WATCH CLOSER A NARROW ELONGATED HUMAN LIKE FACE POPS UP FROM THE
HAIRY BEAST ITS LARGE OVOID EYES TURN TOWARDS YOU THEN IT DISAPPEARS INTO THE MASS OF CREATURE
WHAT IS THIS CREATURE?

"it was one of the urt people it had a narrow elongated face and rather large ovoid eyes it was narrow shouldered and narrow
chested it had long thin arms and short spindly legs it commonly walked or hurried bent over its knuckles often on the ground its
head often moving from side to side this low gait commonly kept it inconsqicuous among the large migratory urt packs with which it
commonly moved. sometimes such packs pass civilized areas and observers are not even aware of the urt people traveling with them.
the urt packs provide them with cover and protection for some reason not clear to me at that time.the urt seldom atack them sometimes
it would rear up straightly unexpectedly looking about itself and then drop back to a smaller more bent over position?

WHEN WINE IS DRUNK WITH GOREAN MEALS AT HOME IT IS ALMOST DILUTED WITH WATER WHY IS THIS DONE?

"when wine is drunk with gorean meals at home incidentally it is almost always diluted mixed with water in a
krter at a party or convivial supper the host or elected feast master usually determines the proportions of water
to wine unmixed wine of course may be drunk for example at the parties of young men at which might appear dancers flute
slaves and such many gorean wines it might be mentioned if only by way of explanation are very strong?

RENEGADES OF GOR PAGE 65

MOST GOREAN WINES ARE VERY STRONG WHAT IS THE TYPICAL ALCOHOLIC CONTENT BY VOLUME?

'most gorean wines it might be mentioned if only by way of explanation are very strong often having an alocoholic
content by volume of forty to fifty percent"
