Racks, Pens etc.

• Branding rack: a device to which a new slavegirl is chained for branding; her hands are chained above her head, but the rest of her body is free to move, except for whichever thigh is to be branded, this being held motionless in a large vise
• Frame of Humiliation: wooden frame to which the condemned person is tied before it is set adrift in the Vosk River, so that he may die of exposure and/or dehydration if he is not eaten by tharlarion or other carnivorous reptiles
• Girl-yoke: a narrow piece of wood about 5' long with holes drilled in the middle and at each end; to secure a girl in this yoke, a thong is tied around one wrist, the end of the thong then being passed through the hole in one end of the yoke; the thong is then passed through the middle hole of the yoke, wrapped around the girl's neck 5 times, then passed back out through the same hole, after which it is passed through the hole at the other end of the yoke, so that her other wrist may be tied to the yoke; shorter (2 1/2' long) versions are sometimes used while the girl is serving her master's pleasure; used mostly among the Red Savages of the Barrens
• Iron pens: the subterranean retention facilities in a Slaver's house where slaves are kept for training and prior to sale
• Kennel: a small, concrete room, usu. 3'x3'x4', having an iron grill for a door, in which a slavegirl may be confined at night

2) a small ventilated box, barely large enough to contain a slave, sometimes used in the transport and delivery of slaves after purchase

• Slave cage: a small cage, just big enough for a slavegirl to sit or curl up, in which she may be placed as cargo
• Slave pole: imaginary pole that 'transfixes' a dancing girl, by which she is 'held' during her dance
• Slave wagon: a flat-bedded, barred wagon, like a large cage with a door in the rear, in which many slaves may be transported at one time, their ankles chained to a bar that runs down the center of the floor; tarpaulins are often used to cover the cage and hide the cargo; analogous to an old-fashioned Earth circus wagon
• Stimulation cage: an ornate, fairly roomy cage, furnished comfortably with fabrics of all kinds, furs, cosmetics, perfumes, jewelry, etc. in which a naked slavegirl in training may be housed; its purpose is to awaken her senses, esp. the tactile senses, to everything in the world around her, so that she may be more pleasing to Masters; in addition, it is just too short for her to stand upright, so that her head is always inclined in a gesture of submission
