"Male and female outlaws do not much bother one
another at the exchange points. They keep their own markets. I cannot
recall a case of females being enslaved at an exchange point, as they
bargained with their wares, nor of males being enslaved at their
exchange points, when displaying and merchandising their captures. If
the exchange points became unsafe for either male or female outlaws,
because of the others, the system of exchange points would be largely
valueless. The permanency of the point, and its security, seems
essential to the trade."

Welcome to
The Laurius Exchange Point
From the depths of the Northern Forests or from a boat, small ship, or
ferry on the Laurius River, you have arrived at an exchange point
several hundred pasangs up the river from Lydius and gleaming Thassa.
Here, slaves are often found for sale, captives taken by
Outlaws and Panther Girls, whether wandering strangers or former comrades who for whatever
reason were found lacking by those who live freely in these forests.
Betrayal and intrigues abound in the forests; who can say for certain
how slaves find their way to the A-frames where they are put on
display for those traveling up and down the river? It is a
humiliating end, that much is certain, and slaves are sold for any price,
great or small.
Panthers are the main
traders here and will usually bring slaves, furs, and other products of
the forest to trade for goods that are not readily available, such as steel arrowheads, spearheads and knives, collars,
chains, slave traps, candies, brushes, mirrors, and many other things.
Each trader, no matter their allegiances inside or
outside of these forests, are wary of other outlaws, but trade and commerce are
powerful motivators in bringing two opposing sides together.
Whatever the opinions each has of the other, the peace here is kept, and
negotiations and trade are conducted with respect...or not at all...
THIS
IS A NO KILL/NO FORCE COLLAR/NO RAID ZONE.
HOWEVER, unescorted
free women and slaves may be captured here by Prodigy Combat
Rules.
If the parties involved are unable to agree on a judge, the combatants may seek the ruling of one of our Gorean Site Judges. The first judge available and willing will decide the matter. All rulings are final.
All captures are permanent.
This room is
covered by all appropriate
Portal Of Dreams
General RP Rules
All role-play must be
realistic and appropriate.
Additional rules for this room:
This
is a Neutral Area and Peaceful Place for Trading With Forest Outlaws
Only!
1. Any who
come here are expected to be able to travel here and
trade.
2. Violence or threats of any kind will not be tolerated.
**3. Any
berating, word-bashing, or drawing of weapons will result in automatic
booting**
4. Offensive, boastful, insulting, or abusive language will not be tolerated.
5. This is a place of peace that WILL be maintained
if Goreans somehow forget this.
Be here
for Trading/Bartering ONLY!
1. This is
not a chat room for idle socialization and "hanging out."
2. Traders may chat during transactions, but none who are here for the
business of trading may stay and chat once business is concluded. This means that bantering in an in-character, Gorean manner while conducting business or waiting for all traders to arrive is acceptable, but once business is concluded, all parties will disperse immediately.

1. Slaves and free woman are
ONLY allowed if escorted by someone.
2. Slaves must be escorted by a Master/Mistress with legitimate business
here.
3. ALL UNESCORTED
SLAVES AND FREE WOMEN ARE SUBJECT TO CAPTURE.
4. All captures in
the Exchange will be properly and fairly role-played.
5. The first
Free Trader who posts to the unescorted free woman or slave has rights to
finish the capture.

Pulldowns
1. Use these
