 Clans

Clans of the Haruspex

“I heard a haruspex singing between the wagons; for a piece of meat he would read the wind and the grass; for a cup of wine the stars and the flight of birds; for a fat-bellied dinner the liver of a sleen or slave.”

Clan of the Healers

They do have, however, certain clans, not castes, which specialize in certain matters, for example the clan of healers.

Clan of Musicians

To one side, across a clearing from the fire, a bit in the background, was a group of nine musicians.

Clan of Public Slave Wagon Masters

Among the wagons…the masters of the public slave wagons…..buy, sell, and rent girls, providing warriors and slavers with a sort of clearing house and market for the feminine merchandise. The public slave wagons, incidentally, also provide Paga. They are a kind of combination Paga tavern and slave market. I know of nothing else precisely like them on Gor.

Clan 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.

Clan of Turturers

I noted, following me, as I had more than once, a masked figure, one wearing the hood of the Clan of Torturers.

Clan of Yearkeepers

His parents and people had been slain in the Turian raid in which he had been captured, so he had no kin. There had been, fortunately for him, a Year Keeper who had recalled the family.
