A Conversation with Nicholas Eel
By Arealius, Scribe of Port Olni
As I stepped into the esteemed slave house of Nicholas Eel, in the thriving city of Turmus, I couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity and reverence. Nicholas, a veteran scribe and former administrator of Sais, has built a reputation for his exceptional leadership and innovative approach to slave management. I was honored to have the opportunity to sit with him and share his story.
"I was born to a warrior father and a scribe mother," Nicholas began, his voice filled with conviction. "I chose the blue caste, embracing my mother's legacy and my passion for politics and law." His early years, marked by his father's dominance and his mother's submissive nature, shaped his unique perspective on leadership and relationships.
As we spoke, Nicholas revealed the core of his personal philosophy: "Life is a gift, and how we live it determines our success." He believes in finding a balance between nature and nurture, embracing the beauty of the natural world while cultivating growth and learning. This harmonious approach is reflected in his slave house, where slaves are encouraged to flourish under his guidance.
Nicholas' transition from scribe to administrator of Sais and later as a slave house owner in Turmus showcased his adaptability and dedication to public service. However, it was his latest endeavor – the slave house – that truly sparked my interest.
"This is not just a place for commerce," Nicholas emphasized, "but a sanctuary for growth, learning, and mutual respect." His slave house, meticulously designed to replicate the grandeur of Ar's Street of Brands, stands as a testament to his commitment. With a focus on compatibility, rental, and sales, Nicholas has created a haven where slaves and free persons alike can find their place.
Our conversation delved into the intricacies of merchant law and city law, highlighting the nuances of jurisdiction and authority. Nicholas explained, "Merchant law governs commerce and trade, while city law oversees the well-being and safety of citizens. However, when commerce occurs within city walls, the jurisdictions intersect." He illustrated this complex dynamic using examples from Turmus and Sais, demonstrating his deep understanding of the subject.
"In Turmus, for instance, the city law requires slave houses to maintain detailed records and adhere to strict standards," Nicholas clarified. "Meanwhile, merchant law regulates trade agreements and disputes between merchants. As a slave house owner, I must navigate both realms to ensure compliance and success."
"I love flowers and beauty," Nicholas shared, his eyes sparkling with passion. "I find intense beauty in the natural form of a woman. I believe that only fools or liars know everything, and I smile because I can lend a helping hand." This humility and appreciation for life's simple joys underscore his approach to slave management.
As I prepared to leave, Nicholas showed me the slave house's facilities, meticulously designed to promote well-being and training. His dedication to the slaves' growth and happiness was palpable, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for this complex and compassionate individual.
As I stepped out into the warm Gor sunlight, I felt grateful for the opportunity to share Nicholas Eel's remarkable story. His slave house stands as a beacon of excellence, a testament to the power of vision, compassion, and leadership. I know that his influence will continue to shape the world of Gor for years to come.
Dear readers. May Nicholas Eel's example inspire us all to strive for greatness.
