As a new role-player, you are about to embark on a journey into this complex and fascinating world.

They are responsible for the acquisition, training, and sale of slaves, a role that requires a deep understanding of Gorean customs, laws, and the intricate dynamics of master-slave relationships. The Slaver's Caste is identified by its distinctive colors, blue and yellow, and is governed by a set of ethical codes that dictate the conduct of its members. The Three Pillars of Gor (Luther).

The Gorean Caste System
- Overview of the Caste System
- The Gorean society of the city-states has a firmly established Caste System, and almost all Free Persons of these city-states belong to a Caste. The Caste system is a vital component of civilized Gorean society. It is not based on the caste system of India but rather derives its inspiration from Plato's "The Republic." In its most basic form, a Gorean Caste constitutes your profession, though that is a vast oversimplification. Your Caste also defines your codes of conduct, provides certain benefits, limits those you would normally interact with socially, sets your place within the Gorean societal hierarchy, and much more. Your Caste defines much of who you are on Gor, far more than any job or profession on Earth ever would. It is an integral part of many different aspects of your life. One's loyalty to their Caste is also extremely important The Three Pillars of Gor (Luther).
