The Harigga of the Tuchuks

1.  Gor is not fair to women.  If a FW has a problem with a Warrior she should take it to a commander that is the Warrior's superior.  If that should fail to satisfy the situation, the problem may be brought to the Ubar.

2.  Free women of the Tuchuk tribe will act with honor and respect at all times.   Women of the Plains are stronger and fiercer than those of the cities.  Should two FW have quarrel with one another, it is not unknown for them to settle it with their fists.  If this is not an end to the situation, the problem may be brought to the nearest Commander.  If the Commander fails, or proves bias, the problem may be taken to the Ubara.

3.  A FW is allowed to spar hand to hand only, weapons are not allowed.  There are no honor matches or death matches between a FW and a Warrior.  If such is needed the FW must be championed by another Warrior.

4.  Free women of the Tuchuks wear their hair in braids, unlike slave girls who wear their hair loose and unbound.  A Tuchuk woman never wears her hair loose outside of her own wagons, for she knows that if she does she may never braid it as a FW again.

 
5.  Tuchuk free women can train with the lance, quiva, and bow.  However, they may only use them in defense.

6.  At times of war, a Warrior wearing a courage scar is superior to any woman in the camp. At times of war, women of the tribe are not allowed to vote.  At times of war, a senior Warrior, or Commander, may over rule the Ubara unless she is engaged in getting the women and slaves to safety.
 

7.  When a stranger approaches the camp of the Tuchuks, it is not a Woman's place to ride out to speak or question him or her.

8.  When a stranger is either killed or allowed into the camp and a FW has a complaint about this she must whisper (DM) to the Warrior that killed or admitted the stranger.  During the conversation, she must remain respectful to the Warrior even if she does not agree with his decision.

9.  Scars are for Warriors of the tribe not for women.

10.  A FW of the tribe may not be collared by a Warrior for any reason.  They may be whipped, spanked, chained, bound, gagged, stuffed in a dung sack, but NOT collared.  No Free Woman will die a slave by the hands of her own people.  If the infraction/lawbreaking is severe enough to warrant slavery or death, then she may ONLY be sentenced by the Ubar.  Women who are Mated will be bound and gagged, if needed, and secured until their Mate or the Ubar can be contacted.  Punishment will be handed down by their Mate or by the Ubar publicly.

11.  Women do not raid other Tribes, raid for bosk, nor go on any other type of raid on their own.  They may join a raid if there are two or more Warriors raiding, if those Warriors permit it.

12.  Women shall not be allowed into, or even test for, any Clan that do not permit Women to join their ranks.  If unsure if a Woman is permitted to enter a specific Clan, please refer to the appropriate Clans page.
