The Drink of Yellow Knives
Drink supplies of the Tribe are stored in the servery and chillery...Yellow Knives paga is distilled by the slaves from sa~tarna grain with the addition of corn to the mix (think moonshine)...kalana and wines are made from kalana fruit or grapes grown in our own gardens and fruit orchards on the river banks (the only place at all that trees are found in the Barrens) or brewed or distilled and transported to camp by the waniyanpi; other drinks are gotten by bartering with the traders/wopeton.
"Many of the tribes permit small agricultural communities to exist within their domains, she said. The individuals in these communities are bound to the soil and owned collectively by the tribes within whose lands they are permitted to live. They grow produce for their masters such as wagmeza and wagmu, maize or corn, and such things as pumpkins and squash. They are also to furnish labor when required and may be drawn upon at the whim of their masters, for individual slaves. When one is taken from the enclosure one ceases to be Waniyanpi and becomes a common slave, an ordinary slave one owned by an individual master."

Vessels
The vessels drinks are served in can be pottery, simple clay to the finest porcelin..or of glass, crystal, metal and precious metals from all of far flung Gor. They are decorated with Gorean motifs nature and animals..or simply jeweled, cloisoinned, glazed, painted or plain...In serving as always the description should be pleasing. Please remember this is a Red avage camp and although finely decorated vessels may have been obtained through raids etc. those used everday in camp would be of the more ordinary clay or gourd variety. In your serves try to keep where you are in mind. Also do NOT serve in botas unless specifically asked for such. Think about drinking from an animal skin where drink has been stored for days and decide if that is what you would wish to serve your Owner...
