Gorean Drink Bible

Preface
For the convenience of everyone, we are posting the much used Gorean Drink Bible, created by Desire Night and freely distributed to so many kajirae over the years in SL Gor. We have also posted an URL in the resources page you can refer back to.

Please Note--We use an adapted form in Arx Pagus.  Not all drinks are available for serving nor served as listed below.  Both Free and Slave alike should read the Arx Pagus article posted on Drinks.

Note: Slaves must know the basics of serving because they will be expected to start serving the moment they become a slave here, no exceptions. You do NOT have to memorize this, however. Just use it as a cheat sheet for reference on what vessel to use and so forth.   
                   
NO SLAVE of Sand Sleen and/or of the Wastelands of Sand Sleen will be allowed to refuse service based on the “I don’t know how to do that yet” excuse….you will still be expected to serve and dance…just let the Master/Mistress know that you are just learning but will do your best.
