Yet a large portion of this wealth—perhaps a third—Kamchak designated should be left behind in the city, to aid in its rebuilding. - (Nomads of Gor, Chapter 27, Sentence #8)

Turia had been a rich city, and though much gold had been given to the tarnsmen of Ha-Keel and the defenders of the House of Saphrar, it was a tiny amount when compared with the whole, not even counting that lost by being carried by civilians through the gates Kamchak had designated as escapes from the burning city. Indeed, Saphrar's secret hordes alone, kept in dozens of vast underground storehouses, would have been enough to have made each and every Tuchuk, and perhaps each Kataii and Kassar as well, a rich man—a very rich man—in any of the cities of Gor. I recalled that never before had Turia fallen, not since the founding of the city, perhaps thousands of years ago. Yet a large portion of this wealth—perhaps a third—Kamchak designated should be left behind in the city, to aid in its rebuilding. Kamchak, as a Tuchuk, could not bring himself to be quite as generous with the city's women, and the five thousand most beautiful girls of Turia were branded and given to the commanders of Hundreds, that they might be distributed to the bravest and fiercest of their warriors; the others were permitted to remain in the city or flee through the gates to seek their fellow citizens beyond the walls. Additionally, of course, beyond the free women, numerous slaves had fallen into the hands of the warriors, and these, too, were sent to the commanders of Hundreds. The most marvelous set of the latter were the beauties from the Pleasure Gardens of Saphrar of Turia. - (Nomads of Gor)
