"They do not have castes, as Goreans tend to think of them. For example, every male of the Wagon Peoples is expected to be a warrior, to be able to ride, to be able to hunt, to care for the bask, and so on. When I speak of Year
Keepers and Singers it 'muss be understood that these are not, for the Wagon Peoples, castes, but more like roles, subsidiary to their main functions, which are those of the war, herding and the hunt. Nomads of Gor, pg. 12, by John Norman.
Year Keepers "Most of those of the Wagon Peoples have excellent memories, trained from birth. Few can read, though some can, perhaps having acquired the skill far from the wagons, perhaps from merchants or tradesmen. The Wagon Peoples, as might be expected, have a large and complex oral literature. This is kept by and occasionally, in
parts, recited by the Camp Singers." Nomads of Gor, pg. 12, by John Norman.

Clans "They do have, however, certain clans, not castes, which specialize in certain matters, for example, the clan of healers, leather workers, salt hunters, and so on. I have already mentioned the clan of torturers." Nomads of Gor, pg. 12, by John Norman.

Clans of Leather workers "He did not buy the kaiila near the wagon of Yachi of the Leather Workers though it was apparently a splendid beast. At one point, he wrapped a heavy fur and leather robe-about his left arm and struck the beast suddenly on the snout with his right hand. It had not struck back at him swiftly enough." Nomads of Gor, pg. 170, by John Norman.
Clans of Salt hunters "They do have, however, certain clans, not castes, which specialize in certain matters, for example, the clan of healers, leather workers, salt hunters, and so on. I have already mentioned the clan of torturers." Nomads of Gor, pg. 274, by John Norman.
Clan of Scarers "When I have time," said Harold, "I will call one from the clan of Scarers and have the scar affixed. It will make look even more handsome." Nomads of Gor, pg. 274, by John Norman.
Clans of Torturers "I hoped that I would be granted death in battle, if death it must be. The Wagon Peoples, of all those on Gor that I
know, are the only ones that have a clan of torturers, trained as carefully as scribes or physicians, in the arts of detaining life. Some of these men have achieved fortune and fame in various Gorean cities, for their services to Initiates and Ubars, and others with an interest in the arts of detection
and persuasion. 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." Nomads of Gor, pg. 9, by John Norman.
