The collars were of thick leather, some three inches high, with metal insert locks, flat metal bolts slipping, locking, into spring catches; when closed, two rectangular metal plates adjoined; sewn into each collar, opposite the lock, was a large, welded metal ring; about this ring was closed the leash snap; the lock, as the collars were now arranged, was at the back of the neck, as in most Gorean slave collars; the metal ring then, to which the leash might be attached, as the collars were now arranged, was at the front of the neck; this facilitates leading; on the other hand, the collars can be turned as one might wish; for example, the ring might be put on the right or left side of the neck, perhaps to admit the threading through of a chain, rope, or thong, for coffling, or, if one wishes, a light metal rod, perhaps for securing a line of women on a sales shelf, perhaps on their knees; if the ring is put to the back, then, of course, this facilitates arrangements such as fastening her to a wall, a post, or such; the action of the leash snap was mechanical but, apparently, it was beyond the strength of a woman to open it. The leashes were some fifteen feet in length, allowing in this radius one Kur to hold several captives at once. The Kur left the hall. Screaming, stumbling, helplessly, the caught, leashed women followed their beast master. I saw Kurii, methodically, blow after blow, striking the fallen, lest any might have sought to hide among the dead. Some men, tangled in the bodies, screamed, the axes falling upon them. The wounded, too, were methodically dispatched. - (Marauders of Gor)
