DEED OF ADOPTION & LINEAGE GRAFT

In Gorean society, Adoption is a high-stakes legal maneuver. Because Caste is hereditary, adopting someone—especially into a High Caste—is the only way to "graft" a new branch onto a family tree. It requires the consent of the Caste of Scribes to ensure that lineage records remain accurate.

Poison Slave Permit

In Gorean society, particularly in a high-traffic hub like Ar’s Station, the use of slaves for "delicate" work—such as food tasting, handling toxic substances in a forge, or assisting a Physician with dangerous medicines—is strictly regulated.

A Poison Slave Permit ensures that a slave isn't being used for assassination or illegal activities, and it tracks the "hazardous duty" status of the asset.
