n4=on *:TEXT:!Definition:*:/msg $nick says  5"There were only three statuses conceivable to the Gorean mind outside the caste system: slave, outlaw, and Priest-King. A man who refused to practice his livelihood or strove to alter status without the consent of the Council of High Castes was, by definition, an outlaw and subject to impalement." (Tarnsman of Gor)

n7=on *:TEXT:!Initiates:*:/msg $nick says  5Initiates |  /msg $nick says 5 In the next flash of lightning I saw the white robes of an Initiate, the shaven head and the sad eyes of one of the Blessed Caste, servants it is said of the Priest-Kings themselves. He stood with his arms in his robe, tall on the road, watching me. (Outlaw of Gor, page 40)
n8=on *:TEXT:!Scribes:*:/msg $nick says  5Scribes |  /msg $nick says 5"Many castes, incidentally, have branches and divisions. Lawyers and Scholars, for example, and Record Keepers, Teachers, Clerks, Historians and Accountants are all Scribes. (Assassin of Gor, page 208) |  /msg $nick says5 "An intent, preoccupied scribe, lean and clad in the scribe's blue." (Hunters of Gor, 8th scroll, page 41)

n10=on *:TEXT:!Physicians:*:/msg $nick says 5Physicians |  /msg $nick says5"On the first day the Physician, a quiet man in the green garments of his caste, examined me, thoroughly. The instruments he used, the tests he performed, the samples he required were not unlike those of Earth." (Captive of Gor, pages 92-93)

n14=on *:TEXT:!Warriors:*:/msg $nick says 5Warriors |  /msg $nick says5I opened the leather bundle. In it I found the scarlet tunic, sandals and cloak which constitute the normal garb of a member of the Caste of Warriors. This was as it should be, as I was of that caste, and had been since that morning, some seven years ago, |  /msg $nick says5 when in the Chamber of the Council of High Castes I had accepted weapons from the hands of my father, Matthew Cabot, Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and had taken the Home Stone of that city as my own.

n17=on *:TEXT:!Assassins:*:/msg $nick says 5Assassins |  /msg $nick says5"Yet none would stand in the way of Kuurus for he wore on his forehead, small and fine, the sign of the black dagger. When he of the Caste of Assassins has been paid his gold and has received his charge he affixes on his forehead that sign, that he may enter whatever city he pleases, that none may interfere with his work. (Assassin of Gor, Second Scroll, pages 6-7)

n19=on *:TEXT:!Bakers:*:/msg $nick says 5Bakers |  /msg $nick says5"I stayed for four days in the rooms above the shop of Dina of Turia, there I dyed my hair black and exchanged the robes of the merchant for the yellow and brown tunic of the Bakers; to which caste her father and two brothers had belonged" (Nomads of Gor, page 237)

n21=on *:TEXT:!Charcoal Makers:*:/msg $nick says 5Charcoal Makers |  /msg $nick says5"I saw a wide, hunched figure, bending under a gigantic bundle of sticks, strapped to his back by two cords which he held twisted in his fists in front of his body. His stature and burden proclaimed him a member of the Caste of Carriers of Wood, or Woodsmen, that Gorean caste which, with the caste of Charcoal Makers, provides most of the common fuel for the Gorean cities." (Outlaw of Gor, page 27)

n23=on *:TEXT:!Cloth Workers:*:/msg $nick says 5Cloth Workers   |   /msg $nick says 5"The carders and the dyers, incidentally, are subcastes separate from the weavers. All are subcastes of the rug makers, which itself, interestingly, perhaps surprisingly, is accounted generally as a subcaste of the cloth workers. Rug makers themselves, however usually regard themselves in their various subcastes, as being independent of the cloth workers. |  /msg $nick says5 A rug maker would not care to be confused with a maker of kaftans, turbans or djellabas. (Tribesmen of Gor, pages 49-50)

n29=on *:TEXT:!Musicians:*:/msg $nick says 5Musicians |  /msg $nick says 5"In most cities it is regarded, incidentally, as a criminal offense to enslave one of the caste of players.

n31=on *:TEXT:!Peasants:*:/msg $nick says 5Peasants |  /msg $nick says 5"Economically, the base of the Gorean life was the free peasant, which was perhaps the lowest but undoubtedly the most fundamental caste." (Tarnsman of Gor, page 43)

n37=on *:TEXT:!Poets and Singers:*:/msg $nick says 5Poets and Singers  |  /msg $nick says 5"It could have been worse, I thought. After all, though the Caste of Singers, or Poets, was not a high caste, it had more prestige than, for example, the Caste of Pot-Makers or Saddle-Makers, with which it was sometimes compared." (Outlaw of Gor, page 103)

n45=on *:TEXT:!Woodsmen:*:/msg $nick says 5Woodsmen   |   /msg $nick says  5"The Gorean woodsman, it might be mentioned, before he will strike a tree with his axe, speaks to the tree, begs its forgiveness and explains the use to which the wood will be put."

n47=on *:TEXT:!Outlaws:*:/msg $nick says 5Outlaws |  /msg $nick says5"I now dressed myself in the scarlet garb of a warrior of Gor. I was puzzled that the garb, like the helmet and shield, bore no insignia. This was contrary to the ways of Gor, for normally only the habiliments of outlaws and exiles, men without a city, lack the identifying devices of which the Gorean is so proud." (Outlaw of Gor, page

For some reason they have all worn hoods. It is said they remove the hood only when the sentence is death, so that it is only condemned men who have seen whatever it is that lies beneath the hood."
