OWNED SLAVES,

• Owned slaves will be assigned to their appropriate groups once

their Owner has completed the HoC interview or process to make Port Talis their home. If this is not completed please reach out to a member of the admin team.

• If an Owner becomes a resident of Port Talis and rents a home,

they will receive the land group from the Sim Bot.

(Land group is for renters only.)

• All other tags will be assigned as needed based on caste, location,

or roleplay function.

UNOWNED SLAVES,

• All unowned slaves entering Port Talis must join the Port Talis

Slave House if they wish to be sold to a citizen of the city.

• Port Talis maintains a slave market, where slaves may be sold

through RP to lawful Free of the city.

• Unowned slaves seeking to submit may:

– Ring the Visitor Bell, or

– Walk the city and actively engage in RP.

• Do not sit inside cages unless that is your intended RP choice.

If you place yourself in a cage, ensure that someone’s attention is

gained so the action is witnessed IC.

• If no one arrives, do not remain idle.

Seek RP, approach scenes, and facilitate your own play.

In Port Talis, slaves are expected to participate, not wait for

others to entertain them.

WANDERING SLAVES,

Wandering Is a Privilege, Not a Right

Free-moving slaves must understand that wandering the city is an IC risk.

Gor is not safe for unescorted slaves. By wandering, you accept all IC consequences. At the same time we want everyone to have fun and  enjoy their time in the city. This is not to discourage such, just to make aware. 

Unknown Slaves Are Subject to Seizure

Slaves without clear ownership, tags, or escort may be:

• questioned

• detained

• taken to the Slave House

• collared

• sold

This is BtB and part of Port Talis RP.

Present Yourself Clearly

When wandering, your ownership should be obvious:

• Wear your collar visibly

• Wear appropriate city or caste tags

• Follow any posted city protocols

Uncollared or untagged slaves may be assumed unowned.

Do Not Wander Idly

Slaves wandering should engage in meaningful RP. Standing around waiting for someone else to initiate RP is discouraged in Port Talis. Lingering to listen to conversations and gain IC information without properly posting as if spying is not allowed. Using information not gained legitimately IC is not allowed.

Actively seek scenes, assist Free, or approach the Slave House

to offer service or inquire about training.

Slaves Must Yield the Road

When moving through the city, slaves should:

• step aside for Free

• avoid blocking doorways

• kneel or bow if required 

• speak respectfully and without negative thought emotes

Wandering Into Restricted Areas

Slaves may not enter:

• private homes

• administrative buildings

• caste headquarters

• the barracks

• areas marked IC as restricted or any other location noted by a Free person

Unless escorted by a Free or granted IC permission.

Misconduct While Wandering

Slaves wandering the city may be punished for:

• disrespect toward Free

• ignoring commands

• entering restricted spaces

• attempting to flee

• failing to behave as a Gorean kajira/kajirus

All punishments must remain within sim rules and BtB standards.

Capture of Wandering Slaves

Any Free Citizen of Port Talis has the right to capture a wandering unowned slave — or an owned slave behaving dangerously or improperly

outside their Owner’s supervision.

Captured slaves may be taken:

• to the Slave House

• to the Market

• to the Defender Caste

• or to their lawful Owner (if one exists)

Responsibility for Your RP

Wandering slaves are expected to create and facilitate RP. Do not linger silently in corners or stand idle waiting for scenes. You are part of the city — engage with it.
