The Laurius is a winding, long, gentle, slow river. It does not have the breadth and current which are the terrors of the titanic Vosk farther to the south, well below Ko-ro-ba, though well above Ar, which is said to be the greatest city of all known Gor. The Laurius, like the Vosk, flows in a generally westernly direction, though the Laurius inclines more to the southwest then the great Vosk. Captive Of Gor
"On what lake does Lydius lie?" he asked.'
"I do not know," I said.
"It does not lie on a lake," he said.
"Of course not," I said.
"On what river does it lie?" he asked.
"It doesn't lie on a river," I said.
"It is on the Laurius," he said.
I was silent.
"What is the first major town east of Lydius?" he asked.
"I don't remember," I said.
"Vonda," he said.
"Yes," I said.
"No," he said. "Vonda is on the Olni. It is Laura." Kajira Of Gor
In another place several women sat on a fur blanket playing a cat's cradle game. They were quite skilled. This game is generally popular in the Gorean north. It is played not only by the red hunters, but in Hunjer and Skjern, and in Torvaldsland, and as far south as the villages in the valley of the Laurius. Beasts Of Gor
Some girls attempt to flee to the greenwood forests of the north. In such forests, in certain territories, there roam bands of free women, the lithe, ferocious Panther Girls of Gor, but these despise and hate women not of their own fierce ilk; in particular do they revile and hold in contempt girls, beauties, who have been slaves to men; should such a girl, fleeing, enter the cool vastness of their green domain, she is commonly hunted down like a tabuk doe and cruelly captured; the forests are not for such as she; she is tethered and bound, and often lashed, then driven by switches helplessly to the shores of Thassa or the banks of the Laurius, and then sold back to men, usually for weapons or candy. Slave Girl of Gor
The common Gorean shark is nine-gilled. There are many varieties of such shark, some of which, like the marsh shark and the sharks of the Vosk and Laurius, are adapted to fresh water. Vagabonds
Laurius Trading Post room rules
Members are encouraged to check the Forums before coming in about what may have been done or other news.
PoD Site Rules apply.
We are a Kill/Capture/Collar Zone & Mirror Zone; if we can't do it in your home, it cannot be done in ours.
This room is under Leadership of a Council of various respected Members of the Laurius Trading Post.
OPEN scening is allowed and encouraged in places like alcoves, villas, and other areas that would be considered private.
Know Your place. You chose your role, you chose to accept it, You are responsible for it.
Everyone will be held accountable for their actions in rp. Be it a slave, FW or FM.
Dueling is not allowed by anyone.
We are not accepting raids at this time. This will change when the room grows to accommodate.
Prodigy is the combat system recognized here in Laurius Trading Post. Any combat will be judged by a site judge for PoD.
A proper name is required to enter. Anonymous names are not allowed. Anyone entering not wearing an ~O~ or ~o~ will role play or be removed from the room after being warned.
Respect is expected by all who enter. Harassment and character-crossing will not be tolerated. Come in a treat others as you would want to be respected in your own home. Expect to be escorted out the door if you cannot comply.
Messengers are welcomed as long they come in wearing full complete Gorean name along with the yellow-slash denoting they are a messenger and no disruption made to the role play within the room. Deliver the message, wait for a response (if applicable), then leave. Please do not come in to whine because you seen so-and-so on the crossroads. Be Gorean and deal with it on your own. I won't be able to realistically see the person there. If someone is on the crossroads, they are fair game.
Free men and women are expected to be active in the Post. There will be provisions allowing for the "purchase" of a home and/or business (i.e., having your own pull-down in the menu) based upon your role play activity.
Even though LTP is on the northern border of central Gor, We are still a home ruled by Merchant Law and Gorean Customs. This includes Free Woman behaving themselves. Examples that would fringe on proper behavior would be that of sexual nature or excessive drinking. A FW showing sexual desire/activity or being drunk in public will if found out be escorted to the brig in the Guard House and later ruled upon by the Council, though slavery will be the most likely outcome.
There is an OOC pull down to be used minimally, for a greeting or to ask a whisper. You are still responsible for everything you say whether in character or out of character. This means that you are responsible for every word you speak, whether you said it while in-character or claiming out-of-character. You will be held accountable in-character.
Greeting order for slaves:
Your owner if you are owned
FM as you encounter them or addressed by them
FW as you encounter them or addressed by them
slaves as you encounter them
Respect for Free: Slaves are required to be respectful at all times, to all Free. Slaves will not speak aggressively to Free persons, even amidst debate and disagreement.
Respect for other slaves: Slaves will be respectful to each other. Squabbling is not pleasing. Slaves will not purposely perpetuate arguments with other slaves.
A slave's purpose is to be pleasing at all times. All slaves are expected to strive toward that goal always.
Always ask to PM a Free or slave before doing so.
If there is an issue, with anyone, feel free to PM one of the Council Members, to see if can get things resolved peacefully.
