"Panther girls are arrogant. They live by themselves in the northern forests, by hunting, and slaving and outlawry. They have little respect for anyone, or anything, saving themselves and, undeniably, the beasts they hunt, the tawny forest panthers, the swift, sinuous sleen." ~ Hunters of Gor, pages 28 ~

Slave girls who escape masters or some free women, who will not accept the matches arranged by their parents, or reject the culture of Gor, occasionally flee to these forests and live together in bands, building shelters, hunting their food, and hating men;... ...hardy Slavers sometimes go into the forests hunting these girls, but often they do not return;... ...it is not too uncommon that a Slaver Warrior has entered the forest only to be captured by his prey, enslaved, and eventually, when the girls tire of him, be sold, commonly for arrow points and adornments, to Port Kar Slavers, whence he will find himself chained to the oar of a cargo galley."
~Assassin of Gor~, pages ~293 & 294~

Since, at this time, DRC does not have a nothern forest room or an exchange point, we have tried to institute the forest and an exchange point into our lair via use of pulldowns. This being so, anyone can enter the room and roleplay as if they were entering and roleplaying within the Northern Forest of Gor. Upon entering the room proper, you will find yourself within the Laurius Exchange Point.
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.
- Hunters of Gor
The Laurius Exchange Point IS A NO KILL/NO FORCE COLLAR/NO RAID ZONE.
HOWEVER, unescorted FW and unescorted slaves may be captured here by Prodigy Combat Rules.
All captures are permanent.
All roleplay must be realistic and appropriate.
In addition, the following rules must be followed while in the LEP vicinity.
1- This is a Neutral Area and Peaceful Place for Trading With Forest Outlaws Only! Any that come here are expected to realistically be able to travel here and trade. Violence or threats of any kind will not be tolerated.
**Any berating, word bashing, or drawing of weapons will result in automatic booting**
Offensive, boastful, insulting or abusive language will not be tolerated. This is a place of peace and WILL be maintained that way if Goreans somehow forget this.
2-Please keep chatting to a minimum. The LEP is for bartering and trading, not for socializing.
3- Wandering slaves and Free women are NOT allowed!
Slaves and Free woman are ONLY allowed if escorted by someone. Slaves must be escorted by a Master/Mistress with legitimate business here.
ALL UNESCORTED SLAVES AND FREE WOMEN ARE SUBJECT TO CAPTURE.
All captures in the Exchange will be properly and fairly roleplayed. The first Free Trader that posts to the unescorted FW or slave has rights to finish the capture.

You MUST follow and use the PDs for your roleplay to be validated, not only in the LEP vicinity, but also in the forest.

"...pointing up to the hills and forest north of Laura. "these are the great forest. No one knows how far they extend to the east, and they go north as far as Torvaldsland. In them there are the forest people, but also many bands of outlaws, some of women and some of men."
"Women?" I asked.
"Some call them the forest girls," said Ute. "Others call them the panther girls, which they slay with their spears and bows."
- Captive of Gor

The Forest and the FFPL are BOTH

FULL KILL/CAPTURE/MIRROR ZONES

A mirror zone means....if we can't do it to you, you can't do it to us.

1. All combat within the Northern Forest is in accordance with Prodigy combat rules.
Once combat has started, help consisting of members of the same band/homestone must arrive within 10 minutes.
All weapons need to be stated at the beginning of combat and a minimum of three posts is necessary for a capture or kill.
No NPC animals may be used to fight or actively participate in the capture/kill of a human character.

2. Capture scent, kanda dipped arrows and other chemical aids to kill or capture an active defender were never used by or against Panthers in the books, so such things are not valid within the roleplay of the forest. However, passive traps such as drugged wine are obviously possible.

3. No tarns, kailla, tharlarions or other mounts may be used within the forest. The forest canopy and ground cover are far too thick for action with such beasts. All travel and actions in the forest are to be done on foot.

4. No roleplay of Anonymous characters that are Kurii, Priest Kings or Afflicted Ones is allowed in the forest. If You play such a character, it must be a named character and be Your ONLY character.

5. You may not attack anyone during the entry or exit posts, although you can defend attacks during the exit posts.

There are edge locations, near locations and deep forest locations. If you do not live in the Forest, then you enter in via the edge of the forest. If you live in the forest, you post first where you live. IE, WWPB has a PD on the list. They would enter the room and post from the Deep WWPB Territory. (If any other forest home wishes a PD location within the FFPL room, please let Me know).

Everyone in the forest is open game until after you pass over into Deep FFPL Territory. (This room uses Prodigy OC rules) Once that occurs, you are THEN under obligation to follow Lair rules. Once past that location on the PD, you will be in FFPL territory and there My word is Law.

You can't just jump from the edge of the forest to deep forest either. Since the PDs can only represent a small portion of a full forest room, each PD location must be traveled through via roleplay. IE, if you enter on the Northern edge....you post a certain number of times using that location. Then you go to the forest locations, choose the appropriate "Near" location, post a certain number of times again, then you must go through each deep forest location the same number of times. This way, roleplay is enhanced and made more realistic. The traveling rules are as follows.

Free Men-----------------3 posts per location
Free Women-------------4 posts per location unless in the company of someone who by rules, use less.
Outlaws/Panthers------------------2 posts per location. Outlaws include those of outlaw camps, and all PG's.
slaves/animals--------------------5 posts per location unless in the company of someone who by rules, use less.
*Injured parties add 1 to their activity post amount.

There are three layers or levels of travel through the Forest Locations, and you must move through them in this logical order:
1 - Edge Locations
2 - Camp/Near Locations
3 - Deep Forest/Panther Locations

In time, if it's found to be too confusing, or we've enough users to do so, the LEP and LAIR will be moved to subrooms and the main room will be the forest. Until then, if it ever happens, the three "levels" IE the LEP, the Forest and the Lair, in that order, will be designated by PDs.

Once anyone has entered into deep FFPL location, they are subject to the following rules. There is NO forced entry of anyone. However, once you set foot into Our territory, the rules go in Our favor, just as the rules of your home favors you. The Lair rules are as follows.

1. Free Men are NOT permitted in the Lair unless in chains --- NO exceptions.
You will be seen as a danger and be killed or neutralized as soon as possible. If captured, You will be stripped of weapons and clothing. You may be used, branded and WILL be given the degradation strip. Your home or comrades can offer to ransom You, however, negotiations will need to take place at an exchange post. Those arrangements can be made via messenger or a private message left on Our boards.
Those who are captured and have no home, will be considered permanent captives, then slaves of FFPL and are subject to the whim of the PG's and the Leader of the Band.

2. ANY collared slaves that enter do so at their own risk, you are subject to capture and force collar.

3. ANY uncollared slaves WILL be captured and force collared ---
NO exceptions .

4. We aknowledge the ~o~, Anyone that wishes to learn and observe can place the ~o~ behind their name.~ NOTE ~ after three visits the observer is subject to force collaring.

5. Free Women or visiting Panther Girls, You may be bound, branded, collared, and/or sold. Those seeking membership, see our website and leave a message on the appropriate board. You enter at Your Own risk.

6. Animal roleplay is permitted. However, you should know your animal and roleplay realistically. Animals will NOT be permitted to kill anyone except NPC players made up by themselves. NO active character on Gor may be killed by an animal. No exceptions!

7. Anyone who disrupts roleplay with drama, unrealistic roleplay or harrassment, will be warned and then booted if the behavior isn't modified. If they continue to come in and are disruptive they will be a BOS or boot on sight.

8. NPC characters can be used by Lair Members ONLY against any stranger who sets foot into Lair territory.

9. The Lair Leader has final say on any dispute that takes place within the Lair.
HOWEVER, any OC or disputes that take place in the LEP or Forest will be judged by neutral judges, preferrably Gorean Men. These judges must be agreed upon by all involved in the dispute. The best way is to have each one involved, choose a judge, then add a third neutral judge, but any way that is worked out by those involved is fine.

10. By voluntarily entering this room, you are stating that you are 18 years of age or older and have read the rules on this page.

All rules listed are subject to change at Our discretion, Our moods change with the winds. Mind Your tongue, mind Your place and show respect or suffer the consequences.

AT THIS TIME, WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING RAIDS within the lair!

However, OC can occur within the forest section of the room.
