Traveller's Guild Guide to Bonds

Guide to Bonds

An Overview of Bonds:

• A Bond is a magical connection between two people, which is created by a mixture of magic, love, and sexual attraction. A Bond can be solitary, in the case of an Alpha Bond, or can be one of many. Bound groups, also called harems, covens or collectives, are formed around a man or woman of great power. This person takes on the role of Master or Mistress, and will be the one to bond with the others in the case of a multi-bond group. Though two submissives within a group may pair off together, they will not bond with each other directly. Their bond to each other will be through their Master/Mistress. The level of bond doesn't necessarily denote how a submissive will be treated. That will be dependant on their Master, and fellow submissives.

General Effects of Bonding:

• There are several common effects that are present in each type of bond to a different degree. The first effect that is usually noticed is the emotional connection. True to its name, it connects the emotions of both parties to the other, so that the Master can feel when the Sub is happy, sad, anxious, horny, etc. and vice versa. This aids both Master and Sub with supporting each other. In the case of extremely powerful bonds, an exchange of memories can occur at the time of the bond's completion, but this only occurs between Master and Alpha, and even then it is rather uncommon. Another connection is the telepathic link that forms with the completion of the bond. In the case of an Alpha Bond, the connection is extremely strong and cannot be turned off. In the case of Primary and Beta Bonds, the telepathic connection can be accessed at will by either the Master or Sub. And in the case of Slave Bonds, the Sub can access the telepathic connection, but only if the Master also accepts the connection. Next is the sexual connection. This connection allows all members of a collective to feel the sexual euphoria produced by any and all other members of the group. Only the Master and Alpha can exempt themselves from this connection, and only as a temporary measure.

Types of Bonds:

1. Alpha Bond
2. Primary Bond
3. Beta Bond
4. Slave Bond

Alpha Bond:

• The bearer of an Alpha Bond is the pinnacle of power amongst a submissive group in any harem, collective, coven, or whatever else you prefer to call the bonding of several submissives to a single dominant Master or Mistress. There will only be one Alpha in any group. The Alpha's power conquers the authority of all Primary, Beta and Slave bond holders within the Collective. The Alpha's authority is second only to the Master/Mistress. The bond between Master and Alpha is so strong that the connection is made the first time the two make eye contact, and is accompanied by an unparalleled level of attraction. This is most commonly thought of as 'love at first sight' and 'finding your soulmate'. Creating an Alpha Bond doesn't necessarily mean a collective will be formed, but a stable collective cannot form without an Alpha.

Primary Bond:

• A Primary Bond denotes the inner circle of a collective. Someone with a Primary bond typically has a strong attraction to both Master and Alpha. While taking orders from their Master and Alpha, Primaries do still hold authority over Betas and Slaves. A Primary Bond is initiated the first time the pair makes direct skin contact, and is accompanied by a high level of attraction.

Beta Bond:

• The bearer of a Beta Bond holds little official authority within a collective, having to take orders from their Master, Alpha, and Primaries, and only having authority over the slaves within the collective. A Beta Bond is initiated by first kiss, and is accompanied by a strong level of attraction.

Slave Bond:

• A Slave Bond is a sign of absolute sexual dependancy. Slave Bonds are referred to as such only because of an incapacitating physical and psychological dependancy on the other members of their collective, especially the Master and Alpha. Free from responsibility, Slaves can assume roles as pets, playthings, or other roles that arouse them. Slave Bonds can be formed willingly or unwillingly, but in the case of unwilling cases, the Master must personally ensure complete sexual submission (as in make them beg for it). Slaves will wear either a collar or choker, based on preference, and never take it off. They take great pride in these accessories, considering them like prized jewelry.
