Those of us operating with Cos as our city base and homestone will uphold its laws to the letter. Any deviation from those laws will be dealt with by the city leaders as well as those leading the Caste of Slavers of Cos.

All prospective Slavers will be interviewed in turn by the three heads of the Caste for worthiness.

Female members of the Slavers Caste/Cos will not involve themselves directly with the collaring of free persons or the force collarings of "unowned" slaves. If the need arises they shall hire warriors to capture said free persons and, once bound securely, enslave them.

The use of NPC's {non-player-characters}is encouraged in the hunting and force collaring of unowned slaves and Free persons. This is *not* to say that if a slave submits to said female Slaver that she cannot collar them. Gorean Free women of the cities do NOT fight combat, therefore they are unequipped to take down an unwilling person. Use gaurdsmen, brothers of the Caste, or other slaves to do the dirty work of capturing a reticent would be slave.

The collaring of other Free persons will be done intelligently. Again, hire warriors to do the dirty work of capturing a Free person. Male Slavers may attempt it alone or in groups, however, remember. .we are not normally trained as warriors. . capturing a free warrior would be insane one on one in physical combat for the traditional Slaver.

The plausibility of a capture should be worked out between the players of the Slaver and Target in question in IM's not in public rooms.

Female slavers, if the need should arise, will roll 2d21's as an indicator of their training in the subduing of their subjects.

Male slavers, if the need should arise, will roll 2d22's as an indicator of their training in the subduing of their subjects. (see also the Lunge Cut and thrust method of Combat)

Both of the above includes all matches; spars [which women should not indulge in in public. period], death matches, capture matches, release matches, and honor matches.

There is little profit for a Slaver in a Death match.

Safe Havens

There will be no forced enslavements within any place with the title of "Kajira" in them. Example. "Kajira Waterfalls". One may, however, lead a prospective slave out of such an area and proceed with the enslavement then.

There are no other "Safe Havens"

The different combat matches and how they are to be handled.

Spar - a basic contest of skill and for training purposes. These usually have no consequences such as trading of ownership of slaves, though this is not discouraged. The results are set by the terms before the match. These terms should not include anything dealing with injured honor, the release of a slave, the capture of a slave, or death of either combatant. No female slaver will enter a "public" spar with anyone. Any female Slaver found doing so will be summarily enslaved.

Honor Match - Though Slavers are not warriors we do have honor. This type of match is used to settle disputes of honor. Again this does not include the ownership of slaves, the capture of a slave, or death of either combatant. No female slaver will enter a "public" Honor Match with anyone. Any female Slaver found doing so will be summarily enslaved.

Death match - There is little profit in the death match for a Slaver. However it is not unheard of for a Slaver to fight one. Death matches are to 20 strikes. The first person to have 20 strikes, or "points", tallied against them is dead. All belongings of the loser of this match, that are physically within the area of the death match, such as equipment, monies, physical items, and slaves, at the moment of death are immediately transfered in ownership to the victor. All belongings, that are NOT physically within the area of the death match, defer in ownership to the nearest blood relative or mates, or if there are no blood relatives or mates, the ownership of al l mentioned items, including slaves, Houses, ships, etc etc. . is turned over to the Caste of the loser of this type of match.

Kajira Canjellne - means, literally, "slave challenge" This is a match fought between two people for the new ownership, or retention of ownership, of an already owned slave. The Slaver has the option, if the slaver is a female it is mandatory, to have a "champion" fight such a match for them. . usually a hired warrior. However it should be noted that slaves are merchandise to be traded, sold, or bought. Slavers will not generally fight a Canjellne for the ownership of a slave.

A Release Match - is to be fought within 72 hours of a successful Capture match for the release of a captured Free person only. This is not to be fought over the ownership of slaves. This type of match will be fought between the Slaver or if the Slaver chooses or is female, by a hired champion. Generally a warrior. . and the chosen champion of the captured free person. If the Slaver or his/her champion is successful in the Release Match there will be NO more such matches fought over said captured free person. Said Free person will then be summarily and legally enslaved and owned by the Slaver to do with as they will. If the Slaver or his/her champion is unsuccessful in the Release match there will be NO second capture attempt made on the person freed by the loss. [for a minimum of 30 days in real life]

Capture match - A match to 20 points. This Match is fought to determine if a free person remains free or is captured by a Slaver. As above male Slavers have the option of fighting this themselves or hiring a warrior to fight the match. All Female Slavers will hire a free man or use a trained male pit slave to fight these capture matches. If the Slaver or his/her champion is victorious the Free person fought over shall immediately belong to the Victor. If the Slaver or his/her Champion is not victorious the free person fought over shall remain free [ no further attempts shall be made by the same Slaver on the target for at least 30 real life days]

The Method of contractual hiring and completing of a contract or writ of enslavement

There are two methods of legal contractual enslavement.

1) The hiring of a Slaver,via written and signed contract, to enslave a free person or for the theft of a specific slave owned by another. This will be done either directly from the contractor to the Slaver in question or from the contractor to the Caste in General. All contracts asking for the enslavement of Free persons must be brought before, and approved by, the Caste of Slavers/Cos.

[ such approvals or disapprovals will be completed within 24 mun hours except in rare cases. The only thing that will deny a contract is "Gorean" reality. There will be no crossing of characters. Slavers were hired to capture and enslave all manner of persons in all walks of life. ]

2) Writ of Enslavement. Is a penalty type of order handed to the Slavers Caste by the Administrators of the cities. This order calls for the enslavement of a Free person for various reasons. These include, debt, dishonoring the city, theft among other things. Once such a writ is given the Slavers Caste/Cos by the proper authorities the Slavers or their agents will complete the legal order with as much swiftness as possible. It is suggested when completing such a writ that there be at least one witness from the local "watch" or "gaurd" of the city or by those within the ruling body of said City that the Writ is enacted upon

[ To effect an enslavement via a contract the Slaver will intelligently role play out the cornering then capturing attempt to force a Capture match fought by himself, if a male Slaver, or his champion. . if a female Slaver has the contract she will have a champion to fight the cornering of the free person target and the subsequent Capture match.

Simply put.. . any action that includes the cornering of the target and the forcing of a Capture match will be handled by these dice rolls.

1 - 13 the target eludes the force attempt.
14 - 22 the target is forced to fight a Capture match. (14-24 depending on the warrior hired as Champion if one is hired)

If the target eludes the force attempt he/she may attempt to escape the area. If they choose to do so they will roll their Caste given dice.
1 - 14 the escape attempt failed.
15 - 24 the target has escaped successfully and will have to be tracked again AND cornered once more to be forced into a Capture match.

If a Capture match is forced refer to the listing of Capture Matches above for rules.

Remember. . simply walking into a "room" where the target is and rolling one's dice to force a capture match will NOT be accepted. Role play your tracking, cornering, and attempted force of the capture match realistically. ]

Internal Caste Guidelines

All members of the Caste will vote equally on all matters. Male and female.

There will be a 2% fee, collected monthly, on all sales of slaves conducted by each Slaver in the Caste of Slavers/Cos. These monies will be entered into the coffers of the Caste for further buildings needed by the Caste as a whole, or to defray the costs of holding slave auctions, as well as for the hire of gaurdsmen to protect our interests.

For each sale every Slaver will create and forward a copy of a bill of sale to the purchaser AND the Caste Treasurer. This will aid in case of loss of a bill of sale on a particular slave as well as a tally on the taxes due to the Caste from each Slaver. These will be tallied at the end of each month and each Slaver will be sent the expected tax amount by courier. These shall be paid within a hand. 5 days. If they are not paid within 5 days they will be doubled. If in another 5 days these are not paid , except under special circumstances, all of the Slaver's assets will be seized, including the Slaver in question, until the fees can be paid. If with the sales of the Slaver's assests cannot cover the costs of his/her expected taxes he/she will be summarily enslaved to defray the costs.

[ The successful Slaver has impeccible receipts and papers on all belongings. Keep this in mind and *please* keep up on your paper work. let us try and make this a realistic as we can]

There will be a council of all members of the Slaver Caste/Cos bi-weekly [every two weeks] on a day decided best for all involved. Subjects to be brought up before the council will be turned in no later than 3 days before the day of the meeting. An agenda will be created using these issues.

After all issues are looked into and passed or denied, by majority vote, the floor will be held open for new business which will be added to the agenda of the next meeting, unless the new business is deemed to need immediate attention and vote.


There will be one Administrator for the Caste of Slavers/Cos
*He* will serve for no longer than 3 months and their occuring passage hands. [ 3 months real time] at the end of his third month a new Administrator will be voted on by the entire Caste. Or if the Caste is happy with the current Administrator he may simply be revoted into the position.

[ This can be considered "First Chair" if it is needed to be so considered. ]

There will be one Treasurer for the Caste of Slavers/Cos.
He or She will be in charge of collecting and paying of all fees created by the sale and purchase of Caste slaves as well as collecting and giving receipt of all dues owed the Caste by each individual Slaver for the sale of their slaves and keeping tally of those taxes needed to be collected.

[ This can be considered "Second Chair" if it is needed to be so considered. ]

There will be one Master/Mistress of Procurement.
He or She will be in charge of procuring items or personnel needed by the Caste to function. A store of items such as chains, collars of various designs and sizes, slave clothing, food for the slaves, bedding, manacles etc etc will be kept by the Caste in the main cylinder. These can be purchased or borrowed by our Members. The Master/Mistress of Procurement will also be in complete charge of any slaves owned by the Caste, such as state slaves, he/she will also be in charge of setting up and holding or delegating our monthly slave auctions on the main slave block of Cos.

[This can be considered "Third Chair" if it is needed to be so considered.]

The Administrator has the deciding or tie breaking vote on all matters brought before the majority vote of the Caste members. Male and Female.

The Administrator will act as the contact to other cities or castes when such matters are needful and will have the ability to make standing decisions if the need arises.

All contracts for the enslavement of Free persons will be voted upon by the Administrator, Treasurer, and Master/Mistress of Procurement, swiftly then delegated out to the necessary Slaver (s) as needed.

Any dishonor brought on the Caste by a Member will be met as each offense warrants up to, and including, enslavement of said offender.

A blank receipt form for the sale of slaves can be provided our members by any of the ruling body.
