	TSR : O&P Wiki : Five banding: history This article is part of the O&P Wiki hosted by The Slave Register Five banding The practice of five banding, or saying that a slave is five banded, involves wearing locked restraints on the neck and all four limbs - for example, a collar, bracelets and anklets - and signifies the complete subjugation of the slave. The term was popularised by Sharon Green's Terrillian Warrior series of books. For example, near the start of "The Warrior Challenged": Sharon Green wrote: I looked down at the bronze bands on my wrists and ankles, feeling the one around my neck even if I couldn't see it, knowing they were all beyond a woman's strength to open. The light, small-linked chains marked me as Tammad's property, his beyond argument or offer. I hated being locked in chain; to me it was a measure of things on that world that being five-banded was the highest distinction a woman could achieve. The Gorean siriks described by John Norman can be thought of as five-banding cuffs linked by chain. See also Collar Sirik This article is published under the terms of the GFDL.
