*According to Explorers of Gor by John Norman, Open Road Media Sci-Fi & Fantasy (May 6, 2014), p. 85, The city of Schendi is an equatorial free port, located just south of the equator … Schendi is also the home port to the infamous League of Black Slavers. The League are an organized group of pirates, well known for their cruelty. They generally restrict their pirating and slaving to the waters far from Schendi, not wishing to prey upon their own people. The League generally does not sell their captures in Schendi. They prefer to sell them closer to other slave markets or at the Sardar fairs … The sign of Schendi is the “shackle and scimitar”. The shackle obviously symbolizes slavery and maybe more specifically the League of Black Slavers … (http://www.gor-now.net/delphius2002/id77.htm).
