It is required by law that their performances are limited to Khapik, the pleasure district of Tharios. A person can be foreign and still be a yaskedasu. This shows that it is not a caste, but a profession, although it is still subjected to many of the same prejudices and stigma that the lower castes are subjected to. Yaskedasi are lumped in with prathmuni in that crimes against them are not considered urgent or bad. This is known as okozou. Yaskedasi differ from prathmuni in that they can socialize with other Tharians. Among the higher castes of Tharios, yaskedasi are seen as little more than prostitutes, and are subjected to that stigma.
