This is a Gorean room, and non-serious slaves should not come here for the purpose of disrupting the seriousness nor the enjoyment of this Steading and it's members.

All new slaves will first go into a {VF*} collar until trained to the satisfaction of the Free, and presented to the Jarl for approval. After training, a Steading Free Member may purchase the slave. 

In the case where a Steading Member captured or purchased a girl from somewhere else, the girl goes into that Free's collar and that Free is responsible for her training.

(1) There are six essential qualities that you MUST possess to be a slave. These are not negotiable nor open for interpretation: Honesty, integrity, respect, honor, trust and complete and absolute obedience. 

(2) A slave always will be pleasant and cheerful to a Master/Mistress. If a slave feels they cannot be of a pleasing, positive attitude, at all times they are in the The Steading, then they are not to enter, or are to leave until they are in the right frame of mind. It is understood that each slave will have troubles and problems from time to time. 

(3) A slave doesn't need permission to enter the Steading, however, all slaves need permission to leave. A slave will ask permission from one's Master/Mistress if personally owned, or from a Fjord Master/Mistress to leave, if a Fjord slave. If the request is not answered within a reasonable amount of time, a slave will ask for permission to leave 3 times, then may go. If there are no Free present, you may leave. 

(4) No slaves will argue with a Master or Mistress because the Master/ Mistress is always right, and any conversation with them ends with "Yes, Master/Mistress." 

(5) A slave will not shout, nor use profanity. 

(6) All questions and concerns will be brought to Lady Nyx or the Jarl only when necessary. The duty of slaves is to serve and please, not to involve the Masters and Mistresses with the dealings between slaves. Lady Nyx does not take sides in any disagreement but will work to help settle things to the satisfaction of all before taking it to the Jarl. 

(7) Slaves are encouraged to always remember that they are slaves. The Masters/Mistresses are their first priority. slaves must give Them attention over their fellow or sister slaves 

(8) No thrall shall touch a bond-maid without express permission by that bond-maid's Master/Mistress, or, in the case of a Vanir's Fjord {VF} bond-maid, without the express permission of a Free. The penalty for such infraction is death. There are exceptions to this rule, as in a life and death situation. 

(9) Training slaves will study the ways of the Steading. you will be expected to greet and serve Masters and Mistresses and when not serving or studying, you will work around the Steading doing whatever chores need done. If you are new to Gor, you will not be required to serve during this period. We will work with you on this until you are ready and comfortable to do so. 

(10) When a training slave feels ready to be tested, you will be tested before the Jarl or Lady Nyx. Please do not hesitate to ask for help. 

(11) A training slave will not serve with heat nor offer services other than food and drink to the Masters/Mistresses. Serves and conversation will be done in tower only. 

(12) When in the The Steading and not serving, a slave will find something to keep themselves busy. There are always dishes to wash, kitchen to clean, stocking to be done, clothes to wash and mend,  food to be prepared, and crafts to be done. Find something to do. Slaves are encouraged to be busy, even when no Master/Mistress is present. 

(13) All bond-maids will in a time of attack on this Steading go to a position of safety in the Med Room. Thralls will arm themselves (as per the Jarl's instructions) and take up a guarding position in front of the door. Thralls will engage raiders only after the Raider has engagned first, or if the Raider has managed to grab a FW or bond-maid. No public conversation is allowed by bond-maids in the Med room during the fighting. Healing assignments will be handed out in PM by Lady Nyx or a FW to you. you then count accepted wounds on your assigned "patient" for healing when the raid is over, so you do not have to bother the Free with unnecessary questions. Stay in the Med Room until the all clear is sounded. 

(14) slaves will not travel unaccompanied. A Free shall be with them if they are to go to another room…. This means that a slave shall ask a Free to take them to the room which they wish to visit and the Free, as is their right, shall decide if the trip is necessary….
A slave seeing a Free from their home in another room May enter that room and if the Free allows they may stay…
There are exceptions to this rule of course……

1. a mod in performance of their duties
2. A slave sent on an errand by their Master or a Free from Vanir's Fjord
3. A slave that is working as a roving reporter for the Herald (wear your title)
4. A slave sent as a healer to another room
