Morning Travels and Tavern Banter

 

Morning Travels and the Law Class

• Region Hopping: Your morning involved extensive travel. You visited "Word's End" in the Tabary region, collected rules from the Haus der Zwei Winde in Abbas Way, and explored Boswell Pass (Hibari), Silver Forest, Crimson Rose II, City of Rovere, and the City of Turia.

• The Assassin's Memorial: While in Hibari, you came across a "Memorial Runestone" playing a poetic, solemn tribute to a fallen assassin of the Black Caste ("Brother of shadow, friend of the night...").

• The Venna Library: You spent significant time in VennaCity, gathering a massive amount of reading material from their libraries. This included dozens of texts on Gorean cities, slave rules and serves, low caste descriptions (Thieves, Slavers, Bakers, etc.), free women's etiquette, and various legal codes.

• Law Class with Abraham: You attended Abraham Jacobson's class on Gorean law. He detailed the complexities of being a Magistrate, explaining how they must balance City Laws, Merchant Laws, Initiate Laws, and Caste Codes. He also discussed the seven types of Magistrates (High Magistrate, Merchant Magistrate Judges, Prefects, Praetors, Archons, Aediles, and Quaestors) and promised that future classes would cover investigations and mock trials.

Afternoon Tavern Banter

• The "Jerk" Complaint: You arrived at the tavern in Lara and ordered a "Fire Paga" from Erik, explaining that you needed a strong drink because someone in another sim was being a jerk. You explained that this person (a former friend) was aggressively nitpicking a document you had referenced, failing to realize it was just a case study example, not a strict canonical scroll.

• Gossip and Games: The tavern filled up with locals, including Devan, Quinn, Pandora, Uhtred, and Zack. The conversation bounced between discussing a naked musician who was arrested and whether Musicians had immunity from collaring. Pandora also promoted a "CTF" (Capture the Flag) game happening in Tharna.

• Housing Updates: You updated the group on your housing situation, mentioning that Niran had swapped out the larger house on your plot for a smaller one you preferred, freeing up some of your 150 prim allowance.

• Whip Radio Party: The evening shifted into a music party hosted by Jay Sparrowtree on "Gorean Whip Radio." The group listened to an eclectic mix of music and audio clips, including Star Trek parodies, Deep Purple, Dolly Parton, and Monty Python, joking about the "pants-less" second hour of the tavern night.

Evening Purchases

• The Mailbox: After the party wrapped up and you logged back in later, you visited the "FREEDOM CREATIONS STORE" in CaveTech. You purchased and unpacked the "Medieval mailbox 2.0," placing it at your home in Lara II to collect notecards.

Law Class, Housing, and Other Things

 

• Region Restart & Travel: The morning began with a scheduled server restart in Lara II. You quickly hopped through a few regions (Ko-Ro-Ba, Olni) before returning to the City of Lara once the restart finished. You also spent some time exploring other cities using various teleport hubs, including a brief visit to Tabary, Hibari, Silver Forest, Crimson Rose II, City of Rovere, and the City of Turia.

• The Law Class: You attended a class taught by Abraham Jacobson (abrahamjacobs2) on Merchant and Civil Law. He explained the complexity of the Gorean legal system, noting that Magistrates must balance City Laws, Merchant Laws, Initiate Laws, and Caste Codes. He also detailed the seven different types of Magistrates found in the lore (High Magistrate, Merchant Magistrate Judges, Prefects, Praetors, Archons, Aediles, and Quaestors) and promised to cover investigations and mock trials in future classes.

• Shopping: You purchased a pair of dark brown "Gregor Pants" and a white "Belil Coat" from Stitched.

• Tavern Chat: In the afternoon, you caught up with the locals in the tavern (Erik, Quinn, Pandora, Devan, Uhtred, and Zack). They were discussing whether the Musician caste is immune from being collared.

• Housing Prims: You mentioned to the group that Niran had swapped out the large, two-bedroom house on your plot for a smaller, cuter one that you preferred, which also freed up prims. Erik confirmed that you get an allowance of 150 prims for your house.

• Following Up on Employment: Before you headed home for the night, Erik asked if you had spoken to Armand yet about joining the Scribes. You said you hadn't, but weren't in a big hurry. Erik advised that Armand is a "morning person" and is usually around in the early hours.
