That’s me on the right, scowling. And I thought that an oasis was a nice lace to rest and relax! Where do I complain?
She's holding a musical instrument. I think the fine print is all about how she and her companion there have to do something musical and make it good, or the oasis is likely also a good place to punish slavegirls that don't do their job.Barb has a supplementary question, "What is fine print?"
They are in Persian... few might be in Armenian.Written complaints can be submitted on regulatory forms, available in the administration tent. Forms are only in Arab, have to be filled in in Arab, and the fine print is in Arab too! .
Emarukk puts it in (abbreviated) Armenian, with a branding iron on some convenient part of the slavegirl's anatomy.Barb has a supplementary question, "What is fine print?"
You have to make many mistakes to earn burned marks, but I guess it is not a problem?Emarukk puts it in (abbreviated) Armenian, with a branding iron on some convenient part of the slavegirl's anatomy.
oops, you posted just ahead of me!
And it has to be earned. When you have owners label under the general label it means you are much better than common slaveFor a proper slavegirl, her owner's brand is a mark of pride.
The raiding party is returning from the borderlands. The campaign has been a success, and the load is full of valuable loot. Few young people were taken as slaves rest were left behind as a pray for other hunters. Villagers have now learned that taxes must be paid or they are not safe. Next village will pay withe pleasure and hand over few of their young as slaves for the Kingdom of the roads.
Emarukistan is not really any kind of kingdom... it is a collection of city-states that make deals and wars with each other. The most powerful force is the one that rules the roads between cities.
I must be busy somewhere elseThe slave boy is well presented to the Master, interested in placing huge gold for him. Caravan Master is happy because that would be more than his costs to stay in this Caravanserai. But what is going on with @Barbaria1 ? Did Master Nikol give her too much wine? That bastard loves to make slave girls drunk.
I think, the boy would a lot of coins more worth, when he leave his balls. But please, let do the operation from a professional. He should have after the operation fine smooth skin between the legs.The slave boy is well presented to the Master, interested in placing huge gold for him.

Don't get sunburn out there in the desert.I must be busy somewhere else
I shall look forward to the performance, provided that Emarukk doesn't sell everyone before the music starts.I'm likely to be playing the duduk (a kind of end-blown flute or recorders), or dancing with a tambourine.
I think what Barb's holding is a kind of tar, a long-necked lute.
Thank you. There is always a place. There are never enough slaves... well, thanks to the ongoing war, there might be more than enough slaves in the market.Is there a place for this slave to join? That is a beautiful piece of art and speaks to a fantasy I’ve had since I was a young child. To be chained to a coffle in shackles would be a wonderful beginning to a lifetime of slavery. slave hopes the march is long, arduous, and brutal. Thank you!
Yes, Persian (Farsi) uses a modified, rather simpler, form of Arabic script - Urdu uses the same Perso-Arabic.
Persian uses approximately the same alphabet as Arab, isn't it?
Hence, it is conventient to enslave @Eulalia , since she would spot the difference between Arab and Persian immediately!
One needs to go and find some nice cheap, unmarked slave girls to practice branding then. Sort of like going to the stationers to get sketch paper. You wouldn't go to the top-end stalls where the high end slavegirls were sold until you had done a few draughts and knew you could get it right on the more expensive "canvas".Armenian makes nice brand-marks.
I would not separate Persian and Arabic writing, but the difference is mental and important. Mostly I like Armenian signs.Yes, Persian (Farsi) uses a modified, rather simpler, form of Arabic script - Urdu uses the same Perso-Arabic.
But the Armenian alphabet is unique - well, Georgian is rather similar, equally exotic. Armenian makes nice brand-marks.
