Regional Collars

~ Collars of the North ~

About her neck, riveted, was a collar of black iron, with a welded ring, to which a chain might be attached.

{Marauders of Gor, page 85}

There were some one hundred bond-maids for sale in the shed. They all wore the collars of the north, with the projecting iron ring.

{Marauders of Gor, page 158}

I took it from these indications, she had learned her collar in the south; probably originally it had been a lock collar, snugly fit, of steel; now, of course, it had been replaced with the riveted collar of black iron, with the projecting ring, so useful for running a chain through, or for padlocking, or linking on an anvil, with a chain. The southern collar, commonly, lacks such a ring.

~ Collar of the Red Savages ~

The Red Savages do not use steel collars. They use high, beaded collars, tied together in the front by a rawhide string. Subtle differences in the styles of collars, and in the knots with which they are fastened on the girls' necks, differentiate the tribes. Within a given tribe the beading, in its arrangements and colors, identifies the particular master. This is a common way, incidentally, for warriors to identify various articles which they own.

~ Turian Collars ~

She wore bells locked on both wrists, and on both ankles, thick cuffs and anklets, each with a double line of bells, fastened by steel and key. She wore the Turian collar, rather than the common slave collar. The Turian collar lies loose on the girl, a round ring; it fits so loosely that, when grasped in a man's fist, the girl can turn within it; the common Gorean collar, on the other hand, is a flat snugly fitting steel band. Both collars lock in the back behind the girl's neck. The Turian collar is more difficult to engrave, but it, like the flat collar, will bear some legend assuring that the girl, if found, will be promptly returned to her master. Bells had also been affixed to her collar.

{Nomads of Gor, page 29}

The Turian collar, on the other hand, fits more loosely, and resembles a hinged ring, looped about the throat. A man can get his fingers inside a Turian collar and use it to drag the girl to him. It does not fit loosely enough to permit its being slipped, of course. Gorean collars are not made to be slipped by the girls who wear them.
