 Q #  Question

Was the Codes of Warriors only for Warriors to know or would knowledge like that be known even if not followed by other Caste? Since all Caste had their codes?

Answer

The codes of the Warriors were not secret, in that Tarl tells us quite a few of them in his narrative.
Just one example, in Nomads of Gor on page 292, Elizabeth turns the tables and uses the Warrior codes against Tarl when this happens:

"You know your codes, do you not?" she challenged. "The codes of the warrior of Gor?"

"Do not," I said.

Again she slapped me and my head leaped to the side, burning. "I hate you," she hissed.

And then, as I knew she would, she suddenly knelt before me, in fury, head down, arms extended, wrists crossed, submitting as a Gorean female.

"Now," she said, looking up, her eyes blazing with anger, "You must either slay me or enslave me."

"You are free," I said sternly.

"Then slay me," she demanded.

"I could not do that," I said.

"Collar me," she said.

"I have no wish to do so," I said.

"Then acknowledge your codes betrayed," she said.

"Fetch the collar," I said.

So yes, other people knew of the Warrior codes.
