Reed Life is a Tsurani term for licensed male and female prostitutes in Tsuranuanni. They are usually found in brothels, especially in cities like Sulan-Qu. A woman of the Reed Life was considered a craftsperson or even an artist in the ways of pleasure. After the death of his wife, Lord Sezu of the Acoma brought women to his mansion in order to train Lanokota the ways of man and woman and defend himself from ruthless passion and women's whims. Arakasi the Spymaster's mother is of the Reed Life and had married Kamlio, a woman reared for the Reed Life.
