All wore robes of glistening white. These were, I gathered, "Initiates," supposedly the highest of the high castes. How odd, I thought, that it should supposedly be they who had the ear of the mighty and mysterious priest-kings. If there were priest-kings, I wondered if they knew about the caste of Initiates. Perhaps they would regard them as a joke. Why would the priest-kings, I wondered, if they really required intermediaries, and were unable to deal directly with men, and, indeed, if there was any point in them dealing with men at all, have chosen to achieve this end with so eccentric and improbable a caste? Why would they not have chosen some other caste, say, the metal workers or the leather workers, as intermediaries? Those castes, at least, seemed to be populated with men. The leather workers were excellent at piercing our ears, for example, the metal workers at fitting shackles to fair limbs. - (Witness of Gor, Chapter )
