As coin abets commerce, so trade abets peace. Whereas slave girls are not allowed on the walls unaccompanied, some will seek escape by scrambling to deserted segments of the walls and diving into the marsh waters below. Those who do not fall prey to the predators of the marshes are picked up by Rencers. The Rencers will then brand their foreheads and keep them as rence slaves, which, as I understand it, is a most laborious and unpleasant slavery, or, swathing them with ropes, return them to Port Kar for punishment, a tarsk-bit for returning a less beautiful slave, and two tarsk-bits for returning a more beautiful slave. It must be understood, of course, that there are many dry, expansive, level areas in Port Kar, for example, plazas, markets, and exercise yards. Too, several of the canals are bordered by walkways, often on both sides. Indeed, I myself was now on one such walkway, called the Thieves' Way. - (Quarry of Gor)
