**Free Men**
It is expected for you to be Free Men. You are Jarls. You are Marauders. You take what you want and keep it by the sword. Use the force of your will. Be strong and do as you please. The swords of others will set your limits. Gor is your world make it as it's supposed to be, which includes, not asking a woman or a bond to be yours, but telling her she is yours. Make your claim. Gor is harsh, treat it that way. Remember there is a fine line between cruel and harsh, keep the balance. Do not come to this grid and confuse Gor with BDSM, there are places for that sort of role-play. If you are told more than once to step back into Gor, you will be asked to leave. Period. No further discussion needed.
**Free Women**
Free Women, veils are not needed. Dress modestly! Dresses should be floor length or if not then you should be wearing underpants, with socks and high boots. The terrain is rugged. Slippers and/or high heels are unacceptable footwear. Gloves are optional but recommended when the weather is cold. Women are expected to observe all Gorean customs. You are allowed a dagger for defense; poison pins in hair and clothing to be understood as invisible but present role-play items. You will not fight alongside men. You will not attack a man, unprovoked. You may not attack unless you have been attacked first. Any other action is considered aggression and you will be in the bond circle for it, collared. Do not slap a man even if he says something insulting. That is a common trap in which one will claim heat or aggression: both are collarable, regardless of whether you are Torvaldsland-born. Yes, our women are feisty, hell, even mouthy on occasions, but they still know their place. Should they ever forget though, there is a chain fastened in every hold in the lands that will remind her naked displayed flesh. And no, we don't set out everyday to collar our own women and if that's your plan here, you will be dealt with swiftly.
**Bonds**
Bonds are spirited, vibrant, joyful, and happy slaves. They work hard - always! They are allowed to show more lust and life then the southern kajirae. Do not confuse this behavior with insolence or being brazen - bonds would never dare. The punishment in the North was very rough. If you wish for your character to be difficult - brazen or insolent - you must be ready to take the punishment or even be thrown to the sleen, with no OOC drama connected to that.
Some things to note about bonds of the North:
~Bonds never kneel in the snow unless it's a punishment.
~They do NOT stop and kneel in the presence of a Free.
~They do NOT ask permission to leave your presence. Bonds are busy girls.
~They will be heated when they serve you. Free Woman, close your eyes: your man may take her on the table if she serves well enough.
~If you are visiting from the South, (ie forThe Thing) and you bring your silkie with you, expect the bonds here to give her hell. Silkies are not loved by everyone.
~ If your bond/silkie is restricted, you best belt her. We will use her if she is'nt.
~ Privately owned slaves are to obey their owners first and foremost, but she WILL serve all free. A slave is a slave, and she will serve.
