Goreans do not generally favor begging, and some regard it as an insult that there should be such, an insult to them and their city. - (Assassin of Gor, Chapter 2, Sentence #107)

"Are you truly going to kill him?" asked one of the patrons at the low table. "This time he dies," said the man who held Hup. "He has dared to speak the name of Portus and beg a coin from him". Goreans do not generally favor begging, and some regard it as an insult that there should be such, an insult to them and their city. When charity is in order, as when a man cannot work or a woman is alone, usually such is arranged through the caste organization, but sometimes through the clan, which is not specifically caste oriented but depends on ties of blood through the fifth degree. If one, of course, finds oneself in effect without caste or clan, as was perhaps the case with the small fool named Hup, and one cannot work, one's life is likely to be miserable and not of great length. Moreover, Goreans are extremely sensitive about names, and who may speak them. - (Assassin of Gor)
