We offer you a sample of a Gorean Kol-larring (collaring) ceremony. Enjoy.

TAL & Greetings to all gathered here this fair evening. We of The TARN Famailia of the HomeStone Ko-ro-ba bid you Safe Skies & Soft Paths.

Today is a special day in the cycle of The TARN. We mark the beginning of a new life for a member of our family. The TARN Ko-lar Ceremony is a most sacred undertaking and not to be taken lightly.

This is a social bonding as powerful as any found on planet GOR or planet Urth – including marriage, handfasting, and other forms of spiritual-social-economic bindings.

This goes beyond a submission. This is a total giving of this girl to her Master’s will and use. What the kajirae has comes from her Master.

What the kajirae gains belongs to her Master. The Master’s word is absolute law.

With this solemnity in mind we welcome slave-girl jasmine to kneel before Master_TARN to present herself in body, mind and soul to his care and protection.

This is the last time that jasmine will be permitted to speak freely and of her own accord without Master’s expressed permission. jasmine, you may kneel.

Do you, jasmine, being of sound mind, come to Master, of your own free will, and do hereby submit by your own tongue to his coffle and ko-lar?

<Master must wait for response>

jasmine you may present your submission vows of ko-laring to Master.

<Submission-vows spoken here by jasmine>

Hearing these vows in the presence of these witnesses, and by accepting this petition and by the re-application of this ko-lar to the neck of jasmine, she becomes henceforth and forever the property of Master_TARN.

Rise, jasmine_TARN, kajirae of The TARN and embrace your Master.
