• Pani people do not recognize the caste system of continental Gor.
• They depend on rice as a staple as opposed to Sa-Tarna; hence, they commonly drink sake while paga is rare and expensive.
• High Pani, used Larls as prison camp guards and used them as guards to the Shogun near his throne and kept them back using wands. (Some sort of Fence)
• They seem to be very aware of rank and status whereas on continental Gor the same amount of respect is accorded to all men.
• Their names are important to status. Having a surname would denote someone of higher rank such as a Daimyo.
• They have contract women, who are not slaves but not considered free.
• They use Vulo to communicate between islands. (Later tarns were introduced to the Pani, however, remember they cannot fly very far over Thassa, their use would be limited)
• Warriors pride themselves on being literate.
• Free women don’t have as much status; they are definitely a second class citizen unless they are a companion of a high ranking officer. They must bow and defer to male children. They are able to run a business whereas on Continental Gor it is frowned upon for a free woman to work in her caste aside from physicians.
• They speak Pani and Gorean. (On this sim we will type in English and for those that enjoy using a Japanese phrase or word now and then are welcome to).
