At the times of important matches, even the roads to the Fairs, within a circuit of a hundred pasangs, are deemed treaty grounds. - (Plunder of Gor, Chapter 49, Sentence #93)

Most Players do not make much of a living, but they have seen, I gather, as many have not, the beauty of the game. Important matches are often wagered on, and, sometimes, take place at the Sardar Fairs. The Sardar Fairs, so to speak, are treaty grounds, where lethal enemies may sit side by side, observing the great boards, where the match movements are posted. At the times of important matches, even the roads to the Fairs, within a circuit of a hundred pasangs, are deemed treaty grounds. I am not sure I understand Goreans. Some things in their thinking seem to me paradoxical, though not all Goreans, of course, are the same. Goreans, on the whole, seem to care for nature, for trees and green grass, for flowing brooks, and the blue sky, and, at the same time, seem to think little of the harsh selections of war, of long marches, of the clash of arms, of besieging, sacking, and burning cities. - (Plunder of Gor)
