Three types of slave

While Code d’ Odalisque is – obviously – all about odalisques, there are in fact three types of slave mentioned in the Code:

1. Memlooks
2. Odalisques
3. Qoola

A memlook is a common, low slave. They can be male or female. There are no rules for memlooks. They have no rights and no status. Slavekeepers may do whatever they like with memlooks. They can be subjected to sado-masochism and pain and made to work. They are drudges, animals.

An odalisque is a female sexual slave. She has been elevated above low slaves. She is higher than a memlook. She is preserved from toil and pain and is used exclusively for pleasure. She has certain rights under the provisions of the Code. She is treasured, protected.

A qoola is a type of odalisque, but one who is not attached to any single Slavekeeper. A qoola is a “slut slave”. She is not a memlook, but her status is lower than that of an odalisque.
