We are the Warrior's Caste of Rive de Bois (WCRdB).  As commanders, we are committed to training warriors in the finest of Gorean traditions.  We are the defenders of the Homestone, the City, and all citizens residing within.  Due to the physical demands, our training is long and hard to ensure only the strongest, swiftest, and most skilled are allowed to call themselves Warriors of Rive de Bois.  Warriors are bound by their Codes and honor, for without them, they are Kurii. 

 

A special thanks to Trenton DeShea for much of the information provided withint these pages.  Warrior training of Rive de Bois is closely based on the training procedures of the Scarlet Caste of Gor.

 

"Warriors, it is said in the codes, have a common Home Stone. Its name is battle."
-p.343, Renegades of Gor

 

"The Code of the Warriors, in general, is characterized by a rudimentary chivalry, emphasizing loyalty to pride, chiefs and the home stone. It is harsh, but with a certain gallantry, a sense of honor that I could respect. A man could do worse than live by such a code."
-p.41, Tarnsman of Gor

 

"You may think that to be a warrior is to be large, or strong, and to be skilled with weapons, to have a blade at your hip, to know the grasp of the spear, to wear the scarlet, to know the fitting of the iron helm upon one's countenance, but these things are not truly needful; they are not, truly, what makes one man a warrior and another not. Many men are strong, and large, and skilled with weapons. Any man might, if he dared, don the scarlet and gird himself with weapons. Any man might place upon his brow the helm of iron. But it is not the scarlet, not the steel, not the helm of iron which makes the warrior".

"It is the codes," I said.

"The 97th Aphorism in the Codes I was taught," I said, "is in the form of a riddle: `What is invisible but more beautiful than diamonds?'" 
"And the answer?" inquired Labenius. 
"That which is silent but deafens thunder.'" 
The men regarded one another. 
"And what is that?" asked Labenius. 
"The same," said I, "as that which depresses no scale but is weightier than gold." 
"And what is that?" asked Labenius. 
"Honor," I said. 
"He is of the Warriors," said a man.
