The Forest Females of Speid

At one time the isolated and tropical island of Speid was considered to be part of the Earth-like world of Anaron, but more currently is believed to lie in one of Tharun's small and briny seas. One of several isles in what was loosely known as the Female Archipelago, it included other lands such as Pan'ti, where a race of scantily-clad female warriors known as Pantians lived. 

Speid was an irregularly shaped island that was geographically divided by a spine of mountains and forested highlands into three traditional lands. That of Nar, Ea and Sen, each claimed by a tribe of Forest Females that identified themselves by that region's name. Other than these divisions the tribes were essentially identical in culture. The tribes were entirely Caucasian in appearance, and society was divided sharply by blonde or brunette hair. Brunettes were regarded as strong warrior types, and were trained so, enjoying full privileges as free women. Blonde hair was regarded as a sign of weakness, and this was more than cultural bias, as the brunettes often possessed several times the strength and intelligence of the blondes. This led to a severely divided, two-tier tribal culture of tops and bottoms; dominant brunettes and submissive blondes.

This order was never questioned and completely natural to the Forest Female tribes, as the blondes of the tribes realized their weakness and inferiority, and trained one another rigorously to demonstrate absolute submission to the brunettes. This permanent condition of a compulsory slave caste only had to occasionally enforced by brunette warriors, for the common history of the three tribes agrees that the weaker blondes willingly entered a status of fawning subservience to the brunettes, knowing it was the natural order of things on Speid. A brunette Forest Female warrior is regarded as of near-goddess status to the blondes, who immediately prostrate themselves in the presence of a brunette warrioress. On extremely rare occasions a revolutionary-minded blonde arises among their ranks with the absurd notion of her flaxen sisters throwing off the chains of their servitude to the Darkhairs, as they commonly refer to their brunette masters among one another. The brunettes permit such insurrections to a point, for they very predicatively always end in the same manner. Many of the blondes actually remove these girls from positions of influence themselves, thus ensuring the precious order is maintained. On occasion a more troublesome girl is dragged out by her brunette captors and publicly put to death as a clear example. This method of execution is customary and often the same; a savage spear thrust through the genitals whereupon the blonde is expected to hang impaled on the spear, enjoying an excruciatingly slow and painful death. 

The tribes are entirely lesbian in nature; brunettes sometimes enjoy intimacy among one another, but can demand sex of the blonde class at any time. In such instances the blonde must fully submit sexually to the brunette; this is often done publicly, the sex is brutal and often involves pain and humiliation for the blonde. This is a condition that the blondes have come to accept, and most prefer degrading and painful sex with their masters. 

Dress for each class of Forest Female tribe is the same; primitive and nearly non-existent. Typically worn are bangles, anklets and chokers, often crafted of bone or ivory, the more well to do enjoying the use of rarer metal jewelry, and many of the brunettes wearing necklaces of animal teeth to denote their strength and warrior status among the tribe. 

Clothing is simple and clearly delineated along social status; brunettes wear tight-fitting, elastic nylon panty briefs of pastel blue, the blondes wearing briefs of elastic white nylon. The native tribes refer to the material as silkrubber, which is essentially Lycra or elastane. For purposes of appearance, the briefs are the same in design and opacity as Sears brand Fundamentals VIP full-cut, nylon briefs. The actual origin of this custom is unknown, but the briefs have maintained their recognition and status among the tribes as an undergarment, as they are known in outside cultures, and this is all any woman is allowed to wear, regardless of status. The tropical climate of the island easily allows for this custom of wearing only underwear. 

The nylon all briefs are made of are still regarded as a superior fabric, marking even the blondes, known among their masters as white-briefs, as a privileged member of a superior tribe. Materials such as plastic and rubber are known but prohibited on the isle, recognized as worn only by true slave women. Thus it becomes obvious that when Kiri visited the isle wearing actual slave fetters and clad only in her white plastic briefs, was immediately made a slave to the tribes, regarded as a 'low-girl' even to the blondes; effectively of full slave status even to their subservient caste.

Kiri was quickly captured in the lands of the Tribe of Ea and quickly given a sentence of torture that prisoners and outsiders receive; lashed to several poles of bamboo in a spread-eagle fashion and face down, over an array of sharped stakes that pierce and impale her body. The women ensure that at least one stake is positioned to directly penetrate and pierce the genitals of the victim. The victim is then switched and scourged on her back and buttocks as more stakes are positioned to impale her breasts. In Kiri's case, a cruel scourge fashioned of thick, thorny vines was used on the rear panel and crotch of her white plastic briefs.


Kiri had been traveling with several female companions, including Kathi of Nar; a brunette of the north tribe that was proficient in a bone spear and knife. Upon realizing Kiri's capture, Kathi pleaded with the leaders of the Ea tribe holding her, asking for her release as she was a trusted friend.

However, upon given word that she was to be released, Kiri begged her own request; that she be allowed to remain lashed to the poles and complete her punishment, so thoroughly had Kiri been gratified by her torment. She had only completed the first day of her assigned punishment, and Forest Female custom necessitates a minimum of three days over the piercing stakes.

Furthermore, Kiri requested that her suffering be worsened for the duration of her punishment, and here Kiri was introduced cruelly to the poison known as ooru. A greenish and thick venom made from several substances including the sap of exotic plants, ooru intensifies sensations of pain to where it is applied, at least tenfold by most accounts, adding a terrible burning itch when applied to flesh. Ooru is reserved among all the tribe as used to torture women in the most extreme of cases. A healthy application of ooru was then slathered on the wide crotch of Kiri's white plastic briefs, and also on the tip and shaft of the impaling spike set under her genitals. The next two days would witness Kiri screaming and writhing hysterically in the vines lashing her wrists and ankles, balanced and impaled on the terrible spike piercing her genitals.

At what is considered the geographical center of Speid, three arms of the mountain range that spans the isle converge, and just south of the foothills of this nexus and in deep forest stands The Pillar. None seem to know much of it, other than it is extremely ancient, and once was part of something larger, or used for some purpose. Standing over one hundred and fifty meters in height, and over twelve meters in width at its base, made of smooth, bland white stone, it stands with no other visible signs of support than ascending straight among the canopy of the forest. 

Some half dozen meters or more from the top, which is flat and reached by rope ladders, an array of polished steel spikes protrude from secure mounts in the stone. All are identical, being roughly sixty centimeters in length, at least eight centimeters, round and tapering to a point on the end. Each has a thick metal flange about the shaft about twenty centimeters from the tip, and all protrude upward and out from the wall about thirty degrees from vertical. About the base of each are many smears and stains from layers of bloodletting. 


The Pillar is used in a form of unspeakable ritual torture. While within the Tribe of Sen land, The Pillar is regarded as both common and sacred ground for all three tribes. Women are sent to The Pillar for torture, which is a ritual of endurance and womanhood for brunettes, and a severe punishment for blondes.

A Victim of The Pillar is made to stand facing it at its base, where her wrists are lashed together at the small of her back, completely denying her the use of her hands. A rope harness is secured under her armpits and about her ribcage, and a peculiar artifact called a Lune Pendant is placed about her neck on thin cord; the pendant is a small crescent moon of silver some five centimeters wide, which dangles between the wearer's bared breasts.

After a ritual whipping to her breasts and buttocks, the female victim is tediously raised to the height of the metal spikes by women on the Pillar's top, using a primitive winch to slowly bring her up. The female is raised until her hips each the height of the spike she is intended to use.

At this point, the girls hips are pushed up and toward the metal spike, by the help of two women, often stronger blondes, perched on rope ladders on either side of her. The spike is allowed to penetrate and fill her vagina; typically the flange allows the spike to penetrate the length of the victim's vagina and to the mouth of her womb, but no further so the impalement does not continue into her vital organs above.


The harness is then removed, and the female victim is forced to hang on the spike, her complete weight on her genitals, in indescribable, crippling pain and a state of complete helplessness. The mounting scenario is completed with a brutal whipping of the woman's buttocks. All women are allowed to wear their panty briefs while mounted on the spike; typically the leg hole elastic is stretched aside, allowing entry through the opening, or the tip of the spike is simply punched through the crotch of her briefs. For particularly severe sentences of torment, a thick coating of ooru is applied to the spike. 


What is of important note is the Lune Pendant allows both powerful healing and sustenance powers to the victim; while wearing the pendant, the victim is unable to expire from thirst, hunger or injury. This allows her to be suspended in a nearly indefinite sentence on The Pillar, and sentences forbid the victim from hanging on the spike for less than one full year. The pain from the spike in the victim's genitals is obviously excruciating, and over the weeks and months ahead she is driven to hysterical madness from the pain that never ends and is inescapable, banishing any rest or sleep. The pillars have a trail of streamed blood below them from the near constant bleeding of her genitals, a condition that the Lune Pendant protects her from expiring from.
  
The stone face of the pillar around the spikes are smeared with random streaks of dried blood, from the many women who have desperately scratched and tried in vain to gain purchase on the smooth stone, wearing their knees and toes bloody and raw from the effort; caused by the despair and hysteria of the victims to push their hips up off the spike at any cost and stop the never-ending, torturous pain.

Such displays of frantic and helpless struggling are not considered shameful among the tribes; no woman goes to The Pillar with any illusions of the barbaric nature of her punishment and the terrifying pain she is giving herself up to. To suffer on a spike on The Pillar is to give one's self up utterly and completely to unspeakable suffering. Even the most hardened brunette warriors are easily reduced to helpless screaming and pleading for mercy. 

Despite this horrific fact, The Pillar is highly desirable among women of the tribes as a method of suffering, and among all three tribes suffering is seen as necessary and a true and worthy achievement. Most brunette warriors long to be tested on The Pillar to prove their strength and womanhood, and many blondes hope to be found worthy of enduring it as punishment.
