First, let me say, there are no "silks" on the Barrens. The Red Savage inahan wears a short shirtdress, fringed with beads and laced up the front to reveal ample cleavage. This is, if she is allowed to wear anything at all *s*

We use the term "silks", as it is often used on Gor, as a way of showing the level of training an inahan has achieved, nothing more. It does not signify whether she is a virgin or a sign of status. "Silks" do not belong to the inahan as they own nothing and they may be taken away if shown the inahan has been displeasing in any way. Remember this!!

The YK inahan who is white "silk" wears no anklet, yellow wears a yellow anklet, red a red one... simple *s* By showing her dedication and willingness to help her fellow inahans learn of their home an inahan may also wear the teal anklet of a trainer. The anklets are worn on the right ankle and restricted slaves will have an additional red anklet over the other.

Other anklets of Recognition
Teal anklet this denotes an inahan has intimate knowledge of the rules and of Yellow Knives and shows and aptitude for training.
Green anklet this denotes an inahan has completed extensive training in the arts of healing

~R~ "red fully trained Yellow Knives inahan" This tag means an inahan KNOWS what she is doing. A slave wearing this tag is fully trained in both the normal kajira pleasure silks standards of all of Gor but ALSO has learned what it is to be an inahan of the Yellow Knives. This level not only knows of all kajira things ie. serves, medical and refreshment, all food, drink, positions and dances of Gor... but of the culture of her Home, she is able to help visitors and sisters and brothers as well with explanations of the Yellow Knives as well as those other questions of kajira knowledge and Gorean things in general. Dedication, Knowledge, Obedience, Pleasant Appearance as well as Attitude and Attendance are ALL requirements which must not only be Achieved but also MAINTAINED to get and keep this level of silks.

2. Travels freely on their own and may serve in non-banned camps as per general rules.
3. Has prepared and performed at least three dances and can dance on command.

7. Knows ALL positions and demonstrates them easily

9. Shows up at least three times a week and more than 6 hours total a week, with two days not being the weekend

~RR~ or ~rr~ "red silk trained Yellow Knives inahan specially restricted" This distinction is rather simple really..... this is a slave that for one reason or another their Owner has decided to place any number of restrictions on the slave concerned... it is NOT a "Special Princess" tag, nor does it mean that a girl is expempt from the normal duties of an inahan concerning appearance, dedication, attendance, hard work (doing chores for example), obedience, knowledge, skills and so forth. It SIMPLY AND ONLY means that she does these things in certain ways and some things only with certain people.

1. Restricted to serving as Owner wishes..what ever position desired.
2. Heat and honey only if Owner permits.
3. Lap and fur per Owners restrictions.
4. Travel per Owners restrictions.
5. Dances per Owners restrictions.

NOTE: The final decision on all training levels is by the Chief. Inahans are recommended by the trainers and Kashna of training but ALL training level final decisions are decided upon by the Chief of Yellow Knives. Remember that the anklets that are given today may be taken away at any point. NOTHING belongs to an inahan not even the anklets they wear. If at any point an inahan does not maintain the standards of the Yellow Knives for a training level that inahan may easily be brought back down to a previous level of any distinction or stripped of them altogether. Being a personally owned inahan will NOT exempt an inahan from losing their anklet if not maintaining the standards necessary to have them.

Personal inahans of newly entered Owners do not automatically get R or r designation but must be earned by any inahan of the YK --- no matter who owns them...and they are granted by agreement of the inahans Owner and the Chief...based on the performance of the inahan with or without the Owner being present.
