| Chains and Other Implements |
| Various types of chains and associated articles, along with their uses |
| Slave Bracelets and Ankle Rings |
| The common form of Gorean Slave Bracelets is a simple design meant to attach to the girls wrists, bringing them within close proximity of one another, and limiting range of movement. It is referred to as the "three-linked" slave bracelets due to the obvious three links which connect the braceleted wrists. Ankle Rings are the compliment to Wrist Bracelets, connecting the matched lower extremities much in the same fashion as the other. The difference between the two is that while Bracelets are more cuff-like, Ankle Rings are more like the name suggests, rings. This is due in part to the necessity of their being more loose and flexible, a necessity considering that a girls movements in walking, and the possibility of unwanted chaffing. The chain that connects these rings can vary in length with the mood and intent of the master. |
| Fetters |
| Fetters are the heavy slave bracelets of the north lands. They are less finely crafted than the southern alternative, and are of a thicker and heavier sort. |
| Used primarily in the Tahari regions, the Walking Chain is an ankle chain precisely measured to the size and shape of the girl, and preference of her owner. Its purpose is to limit the girl's stride, creating a natural, but measured step that is deemed appealing |

| Dancing Chains |
| Chains of the sort a dancer might wear are themsleves crafted to be beautiful; thin, gleaming chains meant to catch the light as much as the eye. They are usually given much slack, meant to hang from the girl and move with her motions, often being incorporated into her actual movements. Commonly they are only placed on the upper body, with the ankles remaining free for obvious reasons. |
| The Body Chain |
| The Body Chain is a multi-purpose device, used as both a form of jewelry and a means of securing one's property. Its links are sturdy, but not overly heavy, and are of a design that is meant to be attractive, yet still serviceable as a means to restrain and safeguard. Its design enables it to be worn in a number of ways, dependent upon how the chain is looped and draped on the girl. Often such devices are further decorated with bits of inexpensive gems and colored beads. |
| The Sirik |
| The Sirik is a common multi-chain design considered very beautiful and appealing to Gorean men. It consists of a central chain running from loop cloar to the floor, and two crossing chains which connect to the central and radiate out to the wrists and ankles, which are bracleted. The chains themselves are usually light and graceful, with much slack given, as the intent is not so much to restrict the girl's movements, overly, as it is to accent her beauty and appeal. |
| The Work Sirik |
| The Work Sirik is a variation on the common Sirik, but more slack is given to better let the girl accomplish her duties. |

| The Four Chains |
| A Slave Strap is a buckled, heavy, leather article, used to constrict the movement of a girls arms and hands, keeping them held before her and close to her body. |

| Harl rings are a simple, but versitle device used in the confinement and safe keeping of slaves. It can be used to tether the girl, and be further interconnected with the Harl rings of other girls to create an effective coffle for restricted and secure transportation. |

| The Iron Belt is a sort of Gorean "chastity belt" that is used by masters to insure that their slaves will not be sexually used. Primarily this contraption is placed on virgins, also known as "white silk girls," to keep their virginity intact. It can also be used as a form of punishment by placing the object on a girl to deprive her of sexual use, a very effective form of discipline, especially to the girl that has grown to know a bit of her collar and the touch of men. Common slave girls who are not virgins are rarely placed in such an article, unless for punishment as stated. This is due to the fact that most Gorean masters really do not object to common slave rape, but it is not to say that all do not, in all circumstances, particularly not with preferred slaves. |

| The Slave Hobble is an object used, as the name would suggest, to hobble a slave. Primarily, it is used to severely limit the movement of a girl, often kept in a kneeling position. By the description, it would be assumed that in the kneel, the girls arms would be behind her back. |

| The Slave Sack |
| The Slave Sack is a simple apparatus used to cover the entire body of the girl, thus blinding and disorienting her, the latter due to the enclosure itself which can produced an almost claustrophobic effect. This is often used for transportation, especially in the case of not wanting the girl to know where she is being taken, or others to see her being transported |
| The Slave Stocks |
| Slave Stocks are much the same as the historical confinement device of the same name, found on Earth. It consists of a bench and two series of hinged boards which close on the wrists and ankles, locking each pair parallel to the other, and immobile. The slave is made to sit on the bench and align her hands and wrists with the first board of each corresponding pair. The second, matching board are then each closed around the extremities they are to confine, locking by means of a hasp and staple method. In effect, the slave is left sitting in the "stocks," her wrists and ankles each encased in a wooden board that is attached to the overall device. This is a highly effective means of punishment and longer term confinement. |
