Casa de Formación

The Casa de Formación or Bestia training school is where Bestia are both brought up from birth, and taught to be Slaves.

Etymology

The name means the "house of training".

Locations

There are two Casa de Formación on Isla Arbojan and Veridia. Because Alta has a smaller population of Bestia, they are raised and trained in the Cregan itself which is large enough to accommodate them.

• Sometria is the school on Isla Arbojan. It is situated in the highlands in the south.

• xxx is the school on Veridia.

Layout

Although the two schools differ a little because of their locations, they have the same general layout.

Novices

The Bestia students are known as novices and progress through different stages:

Birth: Children are rarely born at the school. The pregnant Bestia will normally give birth at her Cregan (or other establishment) and raise the child until it has weaned (about one year old).

Pre-school: The child is then taken to the pre-school building at the school for early training until the age of five.

Main school: From five to fifteen, the Bestia is raised at the school. Sometimes they may leave at fourteen if they are suitable or in demand.

They dress in similar ways to standard Bestia except that the chemises are thicker (because of the colder locations), they wear boots instead of sandals, and the belt is a white rope, rather than leather.

Tutors

Each school is controlled by two Priestesses but they do not teach or give out punishment. (They only step in to end it so that they appear beneficial and caring.) The tutors are Handmaidens and high-ranking Bestia Fiel (who act as assistants). There is one male teacher, the Iniciador (“initiator”), who is there to prepare the Bestia for their use in pleasuring.

Appearance
The Handmaidens are slightly different from those found in Cregans. Their robes are green-grey, rather than simple grey, and they carry straps rather than switches because they are dealing with children and punish more often.

Titles
The Handmaidens are addressed as Doña. The Bestia assistants are addressed as Maestra and the Inciador as Maestro (he is not the same rank as the Handmaidens because he is male).

Notes

Most Bestia are born into servitude – that is, their mother was a Bestia herself. With all the pleasuring that female slaves do, it is not uncommon. Occasionally an outsider will become a Bestia. This is normally limited to young children, under the age of seven or eight. This may be because they have become orphans, or they have a history of disobedience. Older people rarely become Bestia as they will be too set in their ways, and have a sense of freedom.
