When the high initiate stands facing the altar, before the circle of gold, he faces the distant Sardar, the abode of Priest-Kings. - (Marauders of Gor, Chapter 2, Sentence #215)

It stands, I suppose, for eternity. At the foot of the altar beasts were sometimes sacrificed, their horns held, their heads twisted, the blood from their opened throats caught in shallow golden bowls, to be poured upon the altar; too, choice portions of their flesh would be burnt upon the altar, the smoke escaping through a small hole in the roof. The temple, incidentally, is oriented to the Sardar. When the high initiate stands facing the altar, before the circle of gold, he faces the distant Sardar, the abode of Priest-Kings. He bows and prays to the Sardar and lifts the burned meat to the remote denizens of those mysterious mountains. These are no pictures or representations of Priest-Kings within the temple, incidentally, or, as far as I know, elsewhere on Gor. It is regarded as blasphemy to attempt to picture a Priest-King. - (Marauders of Gor)
