Sorry for the lack of posts

Very sorry I haven't posted on here, in a long time. But I do hope to get back on board with this blog and be posting regularly again.

Gorean Information center

I have been out of Gor and SL for awhile. Well I am back and wanting to get back to this blog and the general swing of all things gorean, I visited this place to help me. I was very impressed.

First of all it has lots of information, and very good information at that. Those wanting to build up a gorean library need to start here. This is a perfect place to bring someone new to Gor, a good place to explain things and get them settled before putting them into rp. I really liked the info on panthers, they tend to get looked over in the information department.



They is also a great place to advertise your sim, school, etc. I was actually surprised we had so many schools in gor.

My favorite part is without doubt the teleporters. I LOVE THEM!! There are two tp globus, and the put the sims in classifications to help you find exactly what you are looking for.
The first tp is divided up by:
info and help sims
gorean schools
wagon people sims
gay sims
torvaldsland
other lms

The second tp is divided by
1. gor rp
2. gor btb-by the books
3. gor rpsz-safezones
4. GM gorean meter
5. honor meter
6. glm
7. metalife
8. nls
9.other

Also be sure to check out the GIC specials and freebies and there yard sale.

This is overall a great sim, so please check it out!! I enjoyed it!

Rovere

Rovere is a rustic city that has built itself back from turmoil and gor qwaks. The buildings have a beautiful charm to them and sea air will do anyones health The port has built up a good fishing, farming, lumber mills, and pottery trade businesses. When you first step onto the docks you will find the RP Gorean trading post. This is a great place to get all your rp needs.(using your gorean coins, from the gorean meter)



There is a slight hike up to the city, but when entering the city you will first see the Tre'moon inn. This is a lovely place run by the local baker, Sugar Shui. The city also has some of the best kajira I have seen.
They put their girls through a very rigorous training program, ran by Vamp Quintessa. The girls are very well behaved and seem to go to one task to another without being told.



The people here are strong, proud and were very hospitable. I enjoyed the people very much, I fear, though I think I saw a few outlaws running about, so please be careful.

Gorean Expo presented by DAB, a spectacular show

Over two glorious days, September 8th and 9th, all those who are interested in Gor were given a true treat. DAB Designs presented, through their gorean division, a spectacular fashion show dubbed the Gorean Expo. Unlike most fashion shows which consist of a runway with parading models, DAB decided to do something completely different. They created a gorean city named DAB with all the amenities of any gorean sim in second life. In their natural settings the models displayed the fashions that will be seen throughout Gor in the coming days and months. Not only did they present the silks, which get the most attention in other fashion shows, they also presented free women dresses and free men clothing of all styles. They also had a simulated panther camp and even the wagon people were represented in authentic settings. You could see what it would be like to be dressed in the fine fashions of Gor in the truest test of any gorean fashion, in its natural gorean setting.

Fashions from the Library and Wagon Camp

How many times have you gone to a flashy store to find the perfect outfit, buy it, then realize once you were back on your gorean sim that it looked totally out of place? DAB has taken the guessing out of shopping by presenting all the beautiful and authentic fashions of Gor in their natural gorean environment. As I moved about the DAB city on the first day I saw free women moving about the tea room and library in fine dresses presented by Fantasia, GutterPup, and Eclectic Designs. The beautiful silks and camisks of GutterPup and Eclectic Designs were a treat for the eyes in the tavern. As I moved over to the other side of the virtual gorean city, I found myself in the panther camp. I was impressed with the setting of the camp, which looks much more authentic then many panther camps we see throughout second life Gor. The fashions of Feral Designs, Fantasia, GutterPup, and Husky made visiting the panther camp a realistic experience. I was truly impressed with just how realistic the panther fashions were. This is the first time I have seen this level of detail paid to panther fashions. My travels next brought me to the camp of the wagon people, which featured the best dress I have ever seen representing what a woman of the wagon people would wear; it was presented by Ayana and Hope Designs. I moved to the Warriors hall next, and found excellent free men clothing from Husky, and Fantasia Designs. As a scribe in Gor, I myself have found it hard to find proper attire. I was most pleased to see that DAB found designers to accommodate the needs of free men throughout Gor.

Fashions for panthers and DAB owner Daron Brandeis

The second day of the Gorean Expo was just as impressive as the first. More fashions were presented from the fashion designers of the first day, as well as designs from AC creations, and FLP filthy larma productions. AC Designs presented an eclectic mix of free men and panther designs that impressed all that attended. FLP showcased their creations as well, and added to the already impressive displays of fashion from the first day. Many of the designers from the first day like Husky, and Ayana and Hope Designs added more treasures for all to the see on the final night of the Expo. No one went away disappointed. There were even discounts offered for those who decided to purchase products directly from the Expo.

Enjoying the Expo, left to right, fallon, Daron, Trenton, and ashlyn

All that attended were impressed as they watched the models move about the simulated gorean city throughout the two days of the Gorean Expo. Truly DAB has created a phenomenon that all hope will be seen again. Those that attended saw how fashion fits in the gorean lifestyle and how the fashions presented in DAB city would be perfect in any city, tavern, village, and camp throughout the world of Gor. Daron Brandeis the owner of DAB Designs, who has always been a friend of second life Gor, with the help of his personal assistant fallon Maertens, have given a gift to all those that care about Gor. They have shown that Gor like any other community in second life deserves to have attention paid to its needs. Clothing that truly fits the Gorean lifestyle has been hard to come by, through this Gorean Expo, DAB Designs has helped to bring the designers and Goreans together in a setting that is natural and unique.

slave papers and slave profile

I now sit happily at my Masters feet. I am his property, his true and true. When making such a change there are other changes needed to make. First of course is that of making slave papers. Even in sl gor you need to be legal, sort of speak. During rp you may be asked to show them, especially when traveling.



As far as writing up a slave paper, they can be eloborate or simple. It mainly only needs to states the names of the owner/s and the slaves names and the date of the collaring. If this is done in gor it is a good idea to be sealed with the seal of the homestone of her Master/Mistress.

Even though looking at ones profile is considered very bad rp, it is usually used as a kind of slave paper document. So for a girls own safety, when traveling in gor, a girl should put her owners name in her profile. As a matter of fact most Masters will demand it of you.

heres mine:

Property of Trenton Childs
lovingly collared 08/15/08
~*Red Silk Restricted*~

Any comments of concerns about this girl should be notecarded and sent to her owner, Master Trenton Childs any free may punish this girl.





It's also a good idea to put your rp limits and restrictions in your pics section

Restrictions and rp limits are basically what you are willing to do and what your Master is willing to let you do.
My restrictions:
This slave is allowed to serve food and drink to the Free as they wish; however, this slave is not to be harmed, damaged, mutilated, disfigured, or killed. Doing so damages my property and lessens its' value just compenstation will be sought. This girls body is for the pleasure of her Master only and restricted from anything sexual with anyone other than her Master and his household.

My rp limits:
I am dating sl Master in real life, I will not do anything to betray him.
My body is restricted to my Master and his household.
I will not do.......permant mutilation, rape or hair cutting and I can't dominate


Another nice thing for a slave to have but was not in the books and is considered an onlineism is a slave paper holder.
My Master has put several papers in my paper carrier
1. my slave papers, which contains my ownership papers, a copy of my submission and old documentation of past ownerships
2. my Masters rules and instructions
3. my rp history
4. my health papers
5. Skills and training


As far editing collars and slave paper holders if your like me and your earth home doesn't have many prim usage or you don't have a home a good place to go is the gorean sandbox. Markets of Semris - A Gorean San, Edgington (68, 38, 652)

((if anyone needs some blank slave papers just IM me or my Master Trenton Childs, and we will send you some))

Submission dances

(picture taken by Daron Brandeis of DAB photography)

In Gor there lots of different traditions. One of the most beautiful is that of dancing. There many different types of gorean dances. One of which is the submission dance. This can be a story dance, in which it retells the story of the girls submission to her Master, or a way of telling her Master how much he means to her, or the actual submission it's self.

The dance expresses the girls feelings to her collar. Each submission dance is very unique. As no slave and Master relation is the same. The dance reflects the girls struggles and desires surrounding her collar. Most submission dances usually end with the girl accepting her fate.

Submitting to a Master or Mistress is considered a beautiful thing in Gor. There are many ways to make it special. I chose dancing because partly because I was scared to dance and it would truely show how much my Master meant to me, to overcome my fears for him.

I did not copy and paste, I typed it out, mainly out of fear that I would not time it right. So you can see I actually changed it a bit during the preformance. This helps if things happen during your performance that force you to alter it. Luckily the panthers waited till after my dance to attack the city.

Thank god for huddles! If you don't have one get one or a chim, they help when changing from dance to dance.

All I had to do with huddles was drop in the animations and make a notecard with all the animations. Then I was easily able to switch from animation to animation.

animations used:
buy me-purchased at gor jus
swoon and liquid persia purchased at sine wave
sleep and submit-freebies not sure where I got them

FW Dancing

On July 13th I went to a lovely workshop in Hellenos led by Kembri Tomsen and Khalida Juutilainen in Hellenos. It was on free woman dancing. Most might find this idea crazy, but it was practiced in the books. This was generally a private thing, done for the free companion or a kind of impress the boss dinner occasion. A friend of mine that was also in the class is planning a special treat for her future free companion. Which I found to be a good idea. For any other free woman wanting lessons or information on free woman dancing please contact Khalida Juutilaninen or Kembri Tomsen.

By the books slave training taught by Caerwydh Darragh

I was privileged to attend the first class in a series of classes being taught by Caerwydh Darragh in the city of Laura. The class was set in a friendly camp atmosphere with many of eager to learn slaves attending. Caerwydh has three years experience in Gor and had read the books of Gor before that. The classes will start with the basics and progress to the more advanced levels of gorean slave knowledge over the next few weeks. What's really striking about Caerwydh's style of teaching is how she encourages questions and interacts with the slaves attending the class. Unlike some slaves who are trainers on sl, Caerwydh uses her positive attitude and good nature to encourage the kajira as opposed to the negative training styles of others. This style brings out participation from even the shyest slave, and all who attend leave having learned something.

Caerwydh Darragh training

There are two classes a week, and ten classes in total, with the first class going off flawlessly. If you are a kajira eager to learn or improve your skills, or a free looking to observe excellent training, then these are the classes for you. I can guarantee that you will walk away from these classes as I did, most impressed with the skills of Caerwydh Darragh, and pleased with the large number of slaves eager to learn.

Gorean Insight Blog

As I have traveled through out Second Life Gor, I have formed thoughts

and opinions that would not be suited for this travel blog. Therefore
I created the Gorean Insight blog as a place where I can express my
thoughts. The thoughts are mine alone, and do not express the thoughts

Tavern of Bound Will

The Tavern of Bound Will is a newly opened tavern in sl Gor that caters to those who wish to discuss and learn more about the Gorean lifestyle. The first girl of the tavern is Cleo Ackmann the driving force behind the ideals that the Tavern of Bound Will is based on. The tavern's philsophy is by the books Gorean. Many of the discussions include book quotes to back up the point of view of the discussion. Many of the discussions are scheduled and open to all. The Tavern of Bound Will is a true Gorean tavern in every way. Free
women are only allowed in the tavern during scheduled discussions. The tavern is an excellent place to visit if you are learning Gor, or are knowledgeable in Gor and are looking for enlightening discussion and good company.

The tavern is well built, with a rustic feel, comfortable, and inviting.
Set on an island that is cozy and yet not too small as to be cramped.
The lag is minimal and the tavern is easy to move about.

The tavern also offers many kajira with a fire to serve, and full facilities to enjoy all that they have to offer. If you are a kajira needing training, or one who wants to learn more, as learning never ends, the tavern also offers excellent training lead by Cleo who has tweleve years experience in Gor.

gorean greetings

Goreans are people of intense tradition and honor. One of the first traditions you will become aware of is there greetings and partings. This a very particular thing with them and should be on of the first things you learn.

First and foremost the earth greetings, hello, hi, etc will never do. You will only be immediately looked upon as a noob.


(picture taken by: Fallon Maertens of DAB-Free: Cyris Dreadlow Beth McAllister, Trenton Childs, Slaves-Myn Baily, Ettevy Zimer, Lissie Slade, Judy Wunderland)

The correct way to greet is to either say Tal or greetings. Tal is generally used among the free and greetings by and to slaves. There is also a special order in which you are to greet those within a group. Now it is perfectly acceptable for a free to say say Tal all or Tal free. This is never to be done by a slave and is always best to greet by order

The order goes as follows:
leader of the city

For private slaves you must always greet your Master first by saying greetings my Master. Then you would greet your Masters Companion second then proceed in the general order. You would also greet the first girl of you house befor the first girl of your house before the first girl of your city. Also you would greet your sisters slaves before other slaves. Some Masters/Mistresses will require you to beg to greet, if this is true you would simply say Master may I greet. He/She would reply you may greet mine.

Farewells:
As with greetings, farewells go in same order. Also bye and see you would not be acceptable.
Typical farewells:
be well
well wishes
I wish you well
safe paths
soft paths-said to and by slaves
serve with fire-this is only said to slaves

Many people develop there own special way of giving farewell

Slaves should not that you would never tell a free to be well as this is in a sense giving an order and a slave is not allowed to this to a free.

The Thing

The Thing, or Thing-Fair, is esentially a large tournament and fair in Torvaldsland. The men may participate in a wide variety of contests and can win talmits. A talmit is a headband and they are not always just prizes. Talmits may also signify different districts, officers and Jarls. They may be made from a variety of materials such as the skin of a sea sleen. Men often bring their slaves to the Thing. Merchants and men of other castes from cities south of Torvaldsland may also attend the Thing. Combat is prohibited at the Thing but men can still carry their weapons. This prohibition does not extend to duels. It also enables outlaws to attend. Each free man of Torvaldsland must attend the Thing unless they are a farmer who works his farm alone. Each of the men who attends must present to the Jarl hosting the Thing a helmet, shield and either sword, ax or spear in good condition. Each man must maintain his own weapons. The only exception is mercenaries who are in the direct hire of the Jarl. In that case, the Jarl supplies their weapons. Even those who cannot attend the Thing must still maintain their own weapons and present them at least once a year to the Jarl.
Some of the contests at the Thing include swimming, archery, singing, poetry composition, wrestling and rhyming games. They also must climb the mast, a fifty-foot tall pole of needle wood. There is a broad jump on level land and a walk of the "oar" that is actually just a long pole. There is spear throwing for distance and accuracy. Riddle guessing is popular. One such riddle in the books was "What is black, has eighty legs and eats gold?" The correct answer is the Black Sleen, the ship of Thorgard of Scagnar. There is even a rough bat and ball game. In this game, there are two men on each side. The object of the game is to keep the ball away from the other team. No player can hold the ball for more than a referee's count of twenty. The player can throw it over his head and try to catch it himself. He can also throw the ball to his teammate or hit it to him with the bat. The bats are made of heavy wood and the ball is wooden as well. Being struck by a bat or the ball can be painful and injuries are common. There are even beauty contests for bond-maids.

slave speak

(fallon Maertens-unowned slave)

Slave speak is term used to refer to way some slaves are forced to speak. This is the art of speaking in 3rd person. This is generally used to enforce a girls slavery upon her. In Gor slaves are considered to be property and by speaking in 3rd person it helps the girl or boy to remind them that they is simply property. This can also be used as a form of punishment.

To slave speak is simple....
instead of using me or I you would use your name or this girl/boy

sample
This girl wishes you well
Ash greets you my Master

free woman art exhibit

Greetings! The Oasis of Nine Wells is sponsoring an art exhibition featuring Free Women that will be traveling through Gor. The sixth stop is The Anyia Gorean Islands !

The event will open in The Anyia Gorean Islands on Tuesday May 13th at 6pm SLT

Gorean Free Women are a rare and precious thing on Second Life. They are often misunderstood and mistreated and we would like to take this opportunity to show the true Free Woman: proud, modest, intelligent and highly capable! We will try to show this with artistic examples that will include sculpture, photos, paintings, and more...



There will also be a smaller section showing the non-traditional Free Women: the huntresses, the mercenaries, the she-urts...

We hope that everyone will be able to attend. This will be an IC event, and we will be inviting Women from all of Gor. Women are welcome to dress according to the customs of their city.


Date: Tuesday May 13th at 6pm SLT
Venue: The Anyia Gorean Islands
Each city will put their own spin on the event as it comes to their city, and we will add new artists and pieces as we move.


Contact: kessily llewellyn with questions
Cities interested in hosting, or vendors with free women artwork to show should contact kessily also.



“But remember,” he said, smiling, “it is slaves who are assessed and have prices. Free women are priceless.”
Kajira of Gor

"Goreans, in their simplistic fashion, often contend, categorically, that man is naturally free and woman is naturally slave. But even for them the issues are more complex than these simple formulations would suggest. For example, there is no higher person, nor one more respected, than the Gorean free woman." -Hunters, p311

Sebastian Fuller

When living and playing in gor you will most definately ran across som very unique people and definate characters. My last night in Tharna I met Sebastian Fuller. He is a peasant with no legs, and seems to get around by using a small cart. He was hillarious, and literally kept us laughing the whole time he was with us. If you ever run across this peasant, ask him about his sleen farm in tarnburg. You won't regret it.

What a kajira is............

Simply a kajira is a slave. But more than that they are woman that are highly trained in serving drinks, food, dancing, entertaining, caring for the home, caring for the free and how to be pleasing at all times. These are woman who are trained to walk, speak, act and to be beautiful and pleasing. The are very much like the Japanese Geisha or the courtesans of europe.



It can be lots fun of being a kajira in sl gor, but not always easy. Some may think it a matter of wearing silks, saying yes Master, and doing what your told. In second life it is very much a performance. A craft that needs to be cultivated and learned. In sl gor a trained kajira is expected to know how to serve, dance, entertain, do chores and be pleasing and beautiful in everyway. The art of serving, dancing, etc is generally emoted.



As far as taking on the role of kajira, it is not simple but can be very rewarding. It is a very good idea to observe several sims while ooc or start out playing a free woman while learning the basics of Gor. It's always a good idea to read up on notecards.

The number one thing a Kajira is a woman of Exquisite Beauty and total Obediance

The top do's and don'ts......

*A slave must never say a frees name they are to refer to them as Master or Mistress(a slave uses the terms greetings Masters/Mistress, yes Master/Mistress, no Master/Mistress, and thank you Master/Mistress)


*A slave does not stand in the presence of a free, they will take the positions of tower, nadu, or bracelets


*A slave must beg or ask to do most anything in the world of gor, while in sl gor you will be expect to ask if you can go afk, leave or pass by a free. Some Masters may even demand you to beg to greet.


*Always remeber a free is never wrong, so it is improtant to always be pleasing


*A slave can never tell a free what to do or make demands to a free. As a matter fact telling them to have a good day is considered a command so it is usually proper for a slave to wish them well instead, being that is not a command


*A free can punish a slave at any time for any reason.


*A free is never wrong


*Never have your back to a free

Honestly though the number one rule is do as your Master or Mistress commands
