Free Woman Laws - Rorus

a) VILLAGE FW/VISITORS: FW may not carry/use weapons about the village or on the lands other than daggers, whips or pins. No bows allowed, and certainly no swords. During raids, village FW are not allowed on the wall ~ village women fight here in defense of themselves only with pins, daggers, or whips. FW are required to wear skirts inside the village, or run the risk of collaring. Exposed skin other than faces, necks, and hands will also run the FW a risk of any FM collaring them. Gorean FW were modest ~ dress appropriately!        
b) FEMALE RAIDERS: Since RORUS is a BTB sim, female outlaws, mercs, and pirates are NOT ALLOWED TO RAID/RP in Rorus. Panthers and talunas ARE allowed to raid in RORUS using the following guidelines:

*NO SWORD/SCIMITARS. Women are not allowed swords. This includes scimitars. A dagger is realistic and Gorean for a woman. A long bow is not. A woman cannot draw a long bow, but a short bow or a crossbow for a panther/taluna is a different story.
*A female cannot run in high heels, especially over terrain such as ours, with swamps, quicksand, mountains and other rough ground.
*She cannot lift a 200-300 pound man up on a cross or drag with ease across the ground, by herself. Gorean women are supposed to be the equivalent of a 12 year old boy in strength.

1) A Free Woman is expected to behave according to the established laws of Gor. Free Women's dress will be modest and respectful; this means in a GOWN! no exposed shoulders, legs, belly, cleavage, etc. Please avoid see through dresses...you are pushing the limits and could be questioned.
2) Free Women of Rorus are not required to wear veils. It will be left to the choice of the Free Woman. Though typically women of High Caste would always wear a veil in public.
"Rich, vain women of high caste may wear ostentatiously as many as nine or ten veils. . . . The veil, it might be noted, is not legally imperative for a free woman; it is rather a matter of modesty and custom. Some low-class, uncompanioned, free girls do not wear veils. Similarly certain bold free women neglect the veil. Neglect of the veil is not a crime in Gorean cities, though in some it is deemed a brazen and scandalous omission. In some cities, and among some groups and tribes, it might be mentioned, though this is not common, veils may be for most practical purposes unknown, even among free women. The cities of Gor are numerous and pluralistic. Each has its own history, customs and traditions. On the whole, however, Gorean culture prescribes the veil for free women."

3) The Tavern- A Free Woman may enter the Tavern with an Escort, however no action in the tavern will change with her presence there. If the Free Woman is offended She may leave. The Tavern is full of drunken men and entering unescorted could result in being collared.
4) Free Women are prohibited from engaging in public displays of lewd and lascivious behavior. Violation of this law is punishable by enslavement pending a fair hearing and trial. To flirt with a Free man..is to flirt with a collar. You've been warned.
5) It is illegal to couch with another persons slave. If this law is violated the Free Woman will appear before a Magistrate and face a collar.
6) If a Free Woman kneels to a Free Man or addresses him as Master, this is sufficient to make her a slave. Her actions are interpreted as a gesture of submission. (Note: Make no mistake, commonly men sit cross-legged and WOMEN KNEEL IN GOR. This is not a submission. A woman must kneel TO a man or kneel to him by command.)
7) A Free Woman who is enslaved while companioned to another, will have their contract null and void.
8) A Free Woman is not permitted to enter the home of a Free Man that is not her companion. Also she is not permitted to have one in her home. This can be punishable by trial and result in a collar.
9) If the alarm is sounded, FW will gather inside the safe room or the tunnels. You will only remain in the open at your own risk. I understand people like to do capture RP. If it seems you are purposefully trying to get caught, then we will simply not send a rescue raid for you.
