TYPES OF SLAVES
Kataii Wagon Camp's slaves clothing Among the Wagon Peoples, to be clad Kajir means, for a girl, to wear four articles, two red, two black; a red cord, the Curla, is tied about the waist; the Chatka, or long, narrow strip of black leather, fits over the cord in front, passes under, and then again, from the inside, passes over the cord in back; the chatka is drawn tight; the Kalmack is then donned; it is a short sleeveless vest of black leather; lastly the koora, a strip of red cloth, matching the Curla, is wound about the head, to hold the hair back, for slave women, among the Wagon Peoples, are not permitted to braid, or otherwise dress their hair; it must be, save for the koora, worn loose for a male slave or Kajirus, of the Wagon Peoples, and there are few, save for the work chains, to be clad Kajir means to wear the Kes, a short, sleeveless work tunic of black leather.  The colors in the illustration have been changed to make it easier to see. Black would not give the correct idea. Elizabeth had been clad in the brief leather of a ... wagon girl, simple, rough, sleeveless, and a short skirt on the left side slit to the belt, so that the saddle of the kaiila, mount of the Wagon Peoples, would be permitted her. Assassin of Gor, 301. The Wintering was not unpleasant, although, even so far north, the days and nights were often quite chilly; the Wagon Peoples and their slaves as well, wore boskhide and furs during this time; both male and female, slave or free, wore furred boots and trousers, coats and the flopping, ear-flapped caps that tied under the chin; in this time there was often no way to mark the distinction between the free woman and the slave girl, save that the hair of the latter must needs be unbound; in some cases, of course, the Turian collar was visible, if worn on the outside of the coat, usually under the furred collar; the men, too, free and slave, were dressed similarly, save that the Kajiri, or he-slaves, wore shackles, usually with a run of about a foot of chain. Nomads of Gor, "The collar has four common purposes, Master," she said, "First, it visibly designates me as a slave, as a brand might not, should it be covered by clothing. Second, it impresses my slavery upon me. Thirdly, it identifies me to my Master. Fourthly - fourthly -" "Fourthly?" he asked. "Fourthly," she said, "it makes it easier to leash me."

Jarls of Torvaldsland draw a circle in the ground, called a "bonds-maid circle." A woman may enter of her own free will, though voluntary is not necessarily so, bound by custom, thus becoming a bond-maid, or slave. Also, these slaves are not locked in the typical locked Gorean collar. Instead, they wear the Torvaldlsand collar, a simple black band that is hammered into a half circle. The girl lays her neck into metal band, then it is formed the rest of the way, hammered and bolted shut. |

| Coin Girl: | This is a slave girl, who, with a coin box and a triangular flat bell chained around her neck, is sent out in the streets to earn money from Masters, usually paga tavern owners, in return for her sexual use. These girls are very aggressive, knowing that if they do not bring home ample coin, they will be beaten severely. However, even a red silk may be forced by their Master to perform as a coin girl as a disciplinary measure. |
| Display Slave: | This is a slave girl whose primary purpose is for the display of her beauty to reflect the affluence of her Master. She is often chained in a coffle with other display slaves behind the palaquin or other transport of her Master. The display slave is not generally used sexually and is usually untrained in the ways of a pleasure slave. |

| Kajirus: | This is a male slave. In the traditional sense, per the writings of John Norman, male slaves are generally not sexual pets for free women, but are often assigned heavy laborious tasks. Most male slaves are captives of war or criminals and are seen as simply animals of the lowest sense. However, there are instances in which a Free Woman has kept a male slave or two for sexual use. However, because the Free Woman fears Her own slavery, She is rarely satisfied with their use, for yielding to the male slave could put her in great risk, that the slave will turn the tables upon Her, claiming Her as his slave. The male silk slave is very rarely a Gorean male, for they are too dangerous and seldom make good silk slaves. Male silk slaves are usually men of Earth. |

| Paga Slave: | Slaves that work the taverns; their use comes with the price of a cup of Paga. |
| Passion Slave: | This is a slave girl who has been bred, not captured. Such breeding is for a particular trait, such as exquisite beauty or the shape of her lips. A form of an exotic. |
| Peasant Slave: | Slaves owned by the Peasants, their life is one filled with much hard and laborious tasks. Often, slave girls who are poorly disciplined need only be threatened to be sold to a Peasant to make them well behaved. |
| Pierced Ear Girl: | This is a slave girl whose ears have been pierced, and is considered the ultimate degradation to a woman. Because the piercing of the ear is noticeable to the naked eye, it guarantees that the girl will never be freed. Interesting enough, women of Tuchuk, whether Free or slave, openly accept the nose to be pierced, and proudly wear the nose ring of the Tuchuks. It is thought perhaps, that with the nose ring removed, the piercing is not as noticeable to the naked eye. |
| Prow Girl: | A type of display girl. These are slave girls that are cargo of a ship, only the most beautiful one selected to adorn the prow of the ship, thus displaying the riches of the captain |

| Slavery of the She-Quadruped: | "This form of slavery, commonly used for disciplinary purposes, or for the amusement of the master, the girl is not permitted to arise from all fours; similarly she is not permitted human speech, though she may signify needs and desires by such means as cringing, moaning and whimpering. Not permitted the use of her hands, save as a means of locomotion, she must also eat and drink from pans set on the floor, or, sometimes, to satisfy her thirst, she must lap the water permitted to her from puddles, or lick pillages from the tiles; too, it is not uncommon to chain her near her master's feet, while he dines, that he may, if he wishes, throw her scraps of food. She will also be taught tricks, through which paces she may be put for the entertainment of her master's guests, such things as begging, lying down, rolling over, and fetching his sandals in her teeth. And, needless to say, when her master wishes to use her sexually, it will be in a position common to the she-quadruped. |
| Whip Slave: | A slave who holds whip rights over the other slaves. Please also refer to the Slave Types and Slave Discipline pages for complete information. |
| Work Slaves: | Male prisoners that must work as laborers; usually for a set period of time, such as one year. Work slaves may also be female slaves, used for laborers, such as in an encampment or a city. |
| First Girl | Each free person owning a chain of slaves, always designates one girl to be their "first girl." She is the girl that has switch rights over the other girls in her owner's chain, as well as acts as trainer and task-master for these girls. The first girl is not always the first girl purchased, or the girl with the longest time spent with her owner. At any given time, the owner may designate a new girl in his chain to be first girl, and often an owner of more than one girl changes this often, so as to remind each girl of their absolute place in his ownership. The Ubar/Administrator of a camp, village, or city would, of course, own slaves. Because he is the ruler over his people, his first girl in his chain would be also, the head girl in his city or camp. |
| The Low Girl | The low girl is the girl, in a chain, or a camp, that is the newest, or the least liked, or the most that needs training. She is low girl. She must seek to please the other slaves in her chain or camp, or face severe beatings. |
