Gorean slave garments



A slave of Koroba, unless her Master prefers otherwise, is dressed in slave silks. The colors designated on their names, is only an indication of their "use by men" and does not dictate the actual color of the silk they wear. Each Master purchases silks in the colors that please Him.
