| The spoils of war are the usual fees demanded by a conquering city. These
fees are meant to remove any potential future threat the conquered city
will ever be. The following is a typical set of such fees though it will
vary depending on the desires of the conqueror. The population is disarmed
and possession of a weapon is made a capital offense. All of the officers
in the Warrior Caste, and their families, are impaled. A thousand of the
most beautiful free women are given to the conqueror's highest officers
as slaves. Thirty percent of the remaining free women will become slaves
for the troops. Seven thousand free men will become siege slaves. All of
the children under twelve years old will be randomly distributed to the
other free cities. This seems to support that adoption does exist on Gor.
Any slaves in the city will belong to the first man to recollar them. As
can be seen, such fees devastate a conquered city. |
