"Tor, lying at the northwest corner of the Tahari, is the principal supplying point for the scattered oasis communities of that dry vastness, almost a continent of rock, and heat, and wind and sand."Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, Page 36
"Tor was, as Gorean cities went, rich, trading city. It was headquarters for thousands of caravan merchants. In it, too, were housed many craftsmen, practicing their industries, carvers, varnishers, table makers, gem cutters, jewelers, carders, dyers of cloth, weavers of rugs, tanners, makers of slippers, toolers of leather, potters, glaziers, makers of cups and kettles, weapon smiths, and many others. Much of the city, of course, was organized to support the caravan trade."
Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, Page 39
"Much of the city, of course, was organized to support the caravan trade. There were many walled, guarded warehouses, requiring their staffs of scribes and guards, and, in hundreds of hovels, lived kaiila tenders, drovers, and such, who would, at the caravan tables, when their moneys had been exhausted, apply, if accepted, making their mark on the roster, once more for a post with some new caravan. Guards for these caravans, incidentally, were usually known by, and retained by, caravan merchants between caravans. They were known men. Tenders and drovers, on the whole, came and went. Elaborate random selection devices, utilizing coins and sticks, and formulas, were sometimes used by merchants to assure that applying tenders and drovers were selected, if they were not known, by chance. Tenders and drovers were assured that this was to insure fairness. Actually, of course, as was well known, this was a precaution against the danger of hiring, en bloc, unwittingly, an organized group of men, who might, prior to their hiring, have formed a plan to slay the guards and merchants and make off with the caravan. Tenders and drovers, however, like men generally, were an honest sort." Book 10, Tribesmen of Gor, Page 40
Gender : Play the sex you identify with. It is your responsibility to be open and honest with it about your Roleplay partners. Failure to do so could earn you a ban from the room
Only one secondary character may be played at this time. (this could change in time) However, it must be clearly marked in your tags (no black font) that it is a secondary character. You cannot rp your secondary character more than your first, and cannot play your own slave or vice versa as secondaries are only to be used to enhance rp
MPG's are allowed, be advised that as an MPG you will be held accountable to the site rules regarding MPG's. A MPG cannot kill a primary character. A MPG character must be clearly identified as such in their tags failure to do so can result in a temporary ban. Only one MPG character per person allowed at a time.
While this is a roleplay room, we are open to all that wish to come and join in. With that said, we are very sensitive of those entering for the first time and wish to either watch or decide if this is a room for them. Members of the room will have one day where they will be responsible for welcoming all that enter the room and answer any questions they may have in pm so that not everyones' roleplay is not interrupted. There is nothing that frustrates a new person than to be totally ignored when entering a room and we then miss the chance of perhaps gaining new members.
Black Caste: The Black Caste like all castes are not really recognized in the Tahari. While those wearing a mark will be permitted to pass through, no one will be quaking in terror from them. They will also be hard pressed to find any support or help within the Tahari. In Tor proper, any that provide any assistance to a marked Black Caste shall be stripped of their belongings and escorted from the city. This includes renting of rooms or the selling of food and drinks. This does not mean a Black can not persue a mark within Tor, it just means that if caught they will face trial for murder under the city courts and law of Tor. Being marked or of the Black Caste does not give you special priviledge within the gates of Tor
Only members of this home are entitled to not wear veils, all other women or slaves are to be veiled
Freemen: Freemen should not have to be told how to act. If you have to be corrected or disrespectful you will find yourself, escorted to the city gates by the city guard and tossed out, or you will be collared and sold on the auction block. If you wish to become a member and set up your own shop please speak to the Administrator, we are sure some kind of arrangement can be made.
Free Women are to know and act their place. If you have to be corrected you will find yourself escorted to the City gates by the City Guard and tossed out. You may also find yourself caged until a fine is paid by Free member of your home or failing the fine not being paid you will be collared and sold on the auction block. This is the Tahari, it is very hot during the day and chilly at night Those "of the Tahari" that enter must be fully covered from head to toe. Those that are not will be required to wear veils. If you wish to become a member and set up your own shop please speak to the Administrator, we are sure some kind of arrangement can be made. Members of Tor do not need to wear veils
Combat: Combat in Tor can either be Prodigy or PoD Open combat depending on what the fighters choose. If no preference is made, the it will default to AR OC. The judge of any spars or combat will have to be agreed upon by both parties or post it to the PoD Gorean judgement board for the first available judge.
Any slave entering Tor must have a working knowledge of Gor as we will have no training program, nor will we be accepting any "barbarians" . Members will be responsible for the training of any slave they bring into the home, so choose wisely. If a slave is found to be abandoned, they will be treated according to the decision of the Administrator.
Slaves will be active in the home. While we love to see good writing, it is not all what this room is about. There is no written "requirement" for chores but they are expected to keep the home thriving. Think about where you are and what is around you, what is required every day in order to survive and also the things that will be pleasing to not only your Owner but all Free of the home.
Remember, "serves" are not just getting food and drink for others. It could be helping a Free with their packages or helping in one of their shops. Even if you are on a different pd you should be able to rp your way to them to offer whatever it is they ask of you. You should not be staying in one pd to avoid doing such.
Slaves will be veiled at all times in front of the Free as in the Tahari the lips are very sensual and should not be seen.
There are no unowned slaves on Gor. Any entering without using an -o- next to their name will be collared, and branded
The City of Tor aides by Merchant Law, all slaves must be branded before sold.
Collared slaves must have permission from their Owners or be invited to visit by the Administrator. If there is no permission your fate will be in the hands of the Administrator and you may not like His decision
While there may be times that there is OOC in the room please try and take it to pm. Remember, you are responsible for what you say in the room. You say it, You own it. Skype, Discord or any other outside messenger program is not part of Gor and will not be allowed in the room, nor can it be used against any Member. We will not tolerate any outside drama in the room. If you bring it, you will be escorted to the entrance gates by the Guards.
All PoD rules apply
