2	1	I Will Go to the Barrens "It was a trick," said Samos, "to lure you into the Barrens, where they might have slain you with impunity".	10
1	794	"It is an artifact of the red savages," said Kog, "from one of the tribes in the Barrens".	10
1	901	"But it is surely improbable that the paths of the man and the helper should cross in the vast, trackless wastes of the snowbound Barrens," said Samos.	10
1	937	The kailiauk in question, incidentally, is the kailiauk of the Barrens.	10
1	976	"The winters in the Barrens are severe, and one does not hunt in a robe".	10
1	998	Such animals are not uncommon in the Barrens.	10
1	1191	"To rescue him from the Barrens?" I asked.	10
1	1230	Similarly fellows of our species, or their descendants, lapsed into barbarism, seldom roam the Barrens.	10
1	1233	"That is true," said Kog, "but game, in the Barrens, is scarce in the winter.	10
1	1239	"Yes," said Kog, "in the unlikely and dangerous terrain of the Barrens".	10
1	1246	"How then would you explain his presence in the Barrens?" inquired Kog.	10
1	1258	The object, then, through trade channels, would have come, I supposed, to one of the high cities, perhaps Thentis, the nearest of the large cities to the Barrens.	10
1	1264	Yet, otherwise, I could not explain his presence in the Barrens.	10
1	1336	"Zarendargar is in the Barrens," said Kog.	10
2	30	"They will go to the Barrens," I said.	10
2	42	"They will have difficulty recruiting efficient aid," said Samos, "for few white men are allowed to tread the Barrens, and those who are permitted to encroach upon their fringes are normally permitted to do so only for purposes of trade".	10
2	43	"I think it is fair to assume," I said, "that they do not have an agent in the Barrens.	10
2	45	Similarly the Barrens would seem to be an unlikely, desolate and profitless place in which to have placed an agent".	10
2	52	"Few red savages live outside of the Barrens," I said, "and those who do would presumably be as unfamiliar with them as would be anyone else in their circumstances".	10
2	53	"What of the red savages of the Barrens?" asked Samos.	10
2	57	"A bewildering complexity of tribal languages is spoken in the Barrens," I said, "most of them unintelligible to native speakers of the others.	10
2	209	I considered the Barrens.	10
2	213	I have suspected that they are spoken of as the Barrens not so much in an attempt to appraise them with geographical accuracy as to discourage their penetration, exploration and settlement.	10
2	215	Also, calling the area the Barrens gives men a good excuse, if they should desire such, for not entering upon them.	10
2	216	To be sure, the expression 'Barrens' is not altogether a misnomer.	10
2	220	Accordingly a significant percentage of moisture-laden air borne by westerly winds is forced by the Thentis mountains to cooler, less-heated air strata, where it precipitates, substantially on the eastern slopes of the mountains and the fringes of the Barrens.	10
2	221	Similarly the absence of large bodies of water in the Barrens reduces rainfall which might be connected with large-scale evaporation and subsequent precipitation of this moisture over land areas, the moisture being carried inland on what are, in effect, sea breezes, flowing into low-pressure areas c...	10
2	222	The absence of large bodies of water adjacent to or within the Barrens also has another significant effect on their climate.	10
2	223	It precludes the Barrens from experiencing the moderating effects of such bodies of water on atmospheric temperatures.	10
2	225	The Barrens, accordingly, tend to be afflicted with great extremes of temperature, often experiencing bitterly cold winters and long, hot, dry summers.	10
2	233	No white man, incidentally, at least as far as I know, has ever penetrated to the eastern edge of the Barrens.	10
2	238	Tornadoes and booming, crashing thunder can characterize the Barrens.	10
2	286	"White men are not even allowed in the Barrens," said Samos.	10
2	369	"You are, then, seriously, considering going to the Barrens?" asked Samos.	10
2	377	I thought it might prove useful in the Barrens.	10
3	144	The fort itself, incidentally, was twice burned, once by soldiers from Port Olni, before that town joined the Salerian Confederation, and once by marauding Dust Legs, a tribe of red savages, from the interior of the Barrens.	10
3	166	It is En'Kara, and he will soon be entering the Barrens".	10
4	8	"I am searching for something which may be in the Barrens," I said.	10
4	13	"Of all," I said, "I have heard that he is most welcome in the Barrens, and travels furthest within them".	10
4	14	I doubted that I would fare well in the Barrens alone, inexperienced and untutored.	10
4	38	"If various traders know Sign and some, too, have some smattering of some of these languages, what makes Grunt so special? Why is it he alone who is permitted to venture so deeply into the Barrens?" "Perhaps the savages feel they have nothing more to gain from Grunt," laughed the young man.	10
4	92	"They take some with them, back into the Barrens".	10
4	127	The vicinity of Kailiauk, with its nearness to the Barrens, seemed a remote and useful place for a delivery point.	10
4	202	I had understood them to be one of the more peaceful of the tribes of the Barrens.	10
5	66	"Whither are you bound, Captain," I asked, "and on what business!" "We are going to Kailiauk, and are then going to enter the Barrens," he said.	10
5	72	I supposed such forces might indeed enter the Barrens and wreak some havoc, perhaps falling upon some Dust-Leg villages.	10
5	77	"There are thousands of savages in the Barrens," I said.	10
5	88	"Are you going to take a woman into the Barrens?" I asked.	10
5	138	Considering the game presumably available in the Barrens there were several more wagons in the lines than would have seemed called for.	10
5	174	But they would have no reason to suppose him in the vicinity of the Barrens.	10
6	28	The number of kailiauk in the Barrens is prodigious, for it affords them a splendid environment with almost no natural enemies.	10
6	30	The Barrens are traversed by a large number of herds.	10
6	87	In my opinion, if the crossbow, of the lighter, more quickly loading type, had proved to be a superior missile weapon in the typical combats practiced in the Barrens the red savages would have had recourse either to it, or to something analogous to it.	10
6	89	I opted, accordingly, taking them for my authorities in the matter, for a weapon similar in design to theirs, one which had, apparently, proven its usefulness in the abrupt, sudden and fierce engagements characteristic of war on the vast grasslands of the Barrens.	10
6	90	Unable to find Grunt, I feared I must enter the Barrens alone.	10
6	94	"I wish to enter the Barrens," I said.	10
6	156	In the morning, with or without him, I would enter the Barrens.	10
8	975	"It is my intention to enter the Barrens".	10
8	997	"Are you truly determined to enter the Barrens?" asked the fellow.	10
8	1002	"No more than two kaiila are to be brought by any single white man into the Barrens.	10
8	1003	Too, no party of white men in the Barrens is permitted to bring in more than ten kaiila".	10
8	1006	"Then," said I, "only small groups of white men could enter the Barrens, or else they would be on foot, at the mercy of the inhabitants of the area".	10
8	1144	"I take it that you, with your pack train, intend to enter the Barrens," I said.	10
9	116	Now I, too, was within the Barrens.	10
10	2	It was toward the noon of our second day in the Barrens.	10
10	16	Some of these territories, apparently, had scarcely been penetrated since the days of the first white explorers of the Barrens, men such as Boswell, Diaz, Bento, Hastings and Hogarthe.	10
11	279	"Not in the Barrens," he said.	10
12	12	This tribe I knew, in its various bands, was regarded as the most civilized of the tribes of the Barrens.	10
12	74	They, beautiful, frightened, half-naked slaves, shackled by the neck in the Barrens, did not need to see this.	10
12	79	"It is the usual way of the Barrens".	10
12	207	The breechclout of the Barrens, incidentally, consists of a single piece of narrow material.	10
13	11	It is difficult to convey the majesty of a Gorean night in the Barrens, because of the vastness of the sky and the depth of the blackness, and the contrasting brightness of the stars.	10
13	13	In the Barrens, however, and in places such as the Tahari, probably because of the relative levelness of the terrain, horizon to horizon, these effects seem even more accentuated, even more stupendous, more spectacular, more unbelievable and astounding.	10
13	41	We had now been five nights in the Barrens.	10
14	7	I sat nearby, a blanket spread out before me, on which I had spread out various of the trade goods, mostly mirrors, dyes and beads this afternoon, which I had brought into the Barrens.	10
14	28	They tend to be the intermediaries and diplomats of the western Barrens.	10
14	41	Many women of the red savages, in spite of the wishes of their men, do not approve of such soft, curvaceous, desirable trade goods being brought into the Barrens.	10
14	68	Gorean slaves, incidentally, wherever they may be found, say, in the cities or in the Barrens, are generally kept under an iron discipline.	10
14	95	My interest in the Barrens, of course, was not in trading.	10
14	399	This was another of the names by which Grunt was known in the Barrens.	10
14	455	Another reason for bringing white female slaves into the Barrens in tunics is that this, apparently, in the eyes of the red savages, seems to certify them as authentic white females, so to speak, namely, females from the far-off "white world," women from the distant white civilizations.	10
14	467	No, she had not been brought along, marched into the Barrens, as a mere beast of burden.	10
14	684	"And, too," she said, "what could a white woman in the Barrens be but a slave?" "True," I said.	10
14	950	Sign, as far as I know, is common to all the tribes of the Barrens".	10
14	1021	You see, in the Barrens, all white women are regarded as being female slaves.	10
14	1116	The fleer is a large, yellow, long-billed, gregarious, voracious bird of the Barrens.	10
14	1175	He would not have been familiar, however, I speculated, with the warfare of the Barrens.	10
14	1180	If these beasts had been destroyed I might, perhaps, consider leaving the Barrens.	10
14	1193	The red savages, I speculated, if they wished, with their numbers, and their unity, conjoined with an approximate technological parity in weapons, should be able to hold the Barrens indefinitely against white intrusion.	10
14	1239	"It is my understanding, gathered along the perimeter, that you are unusual among traders, that you, of all of them, have penetrated farthest into the Barrens, and know them the best of all white men".	10
14	1268	"What is your true business in the Barrens?" I pointed to the painting of the two feathers near the beginning of the narrative.	10
14	1278	Suddenly my task, and the Barrens, seemed far more formidable.	10
14	1291	"What is your business in the Barrens?" asked Grunt.	10
14	1305	"They are not indigenous to the Barrens," I said.	10
14	1306	"You think it is now in the Barrens," said Grunt.	10
14	1313	"The Barrens are large," said Grunt.	10
14	1344	Otherwise he would have to winter in the Barrens.	10
15	186	It is extremely rare in the Barrens.	10
15	216	In the Barrens she might well be worth five hides of the yellow kailiauk.	10
16	88	Mobility is important in the Barrens.	10
17	81	There are few metal collars and coffle chains in the Barrens.	10
17	461	Some collars are of leather, and merely lace shut, those in the Barrens, for example.	10
17	476	"We then drive them out, into the Barrens, to die," said another.	10
17	485	"But you banish them, on the supposition that they will perish in the Barrens," I said.	10
17	486	"Thusly, it is the Barrens which kills them, not us," said another.	10
17	667	"What are you doing in the Barrens? Who are you?" "You look well in the yoke," I said.	10
18	12	He was now secured in a fashion more familiar to the Barrens.	10
18	76	"You understand nothing of the Barrens," said Grunt.	10
19	112	"It is for Black Clouds, Mahpiyasapa, that I have brought the red-haired girl into the Barrens.	10
19	327	I was obviously not one familiar with the Barrens.	10
19	372	"How is it that you have dared to return to the Barrens?" asked Canka.	10
19	399	"That is apparently not the way of the Barrens," I said.	10
19	442	This it might have mutely symbolized, if only to the grass of the Barrens, and to the winds and clouds, and perhaps to those of the Medicine World, should they exist, who might have looked down upon it, and pondered it.	10
19	634	"Your word is respected in the Barrens, is it not?" I asked.	10
19	647	But I had not come to the Barrens to turn back now.	10
19	736	If anything, I suspected that the lot of the female slave in the Barrens might be a bit easier than that of her embonded sister in the smooth corridors and ornate palaces of the high cities.	10
19	780	They would have no such reservations, of course, pertaining to a lone white man wandering about in the Barrens.	10

15	237	"Well, be assured, my friend, I am speaking of the shields of the peoples of the Barrens and within the Barrens.	10
28	342	These things spoke not of the generalship of the Barrens but of a generalship alien to the Barrens, a generalship of a very different sort of mind.	10
1	19	It is generally the hottest time of the year in the Barrens.	10
1	58	"Surely it is the largest such group in the Barrens," I said.	10
1	65	He was an early explorer in the Barrens.	10
1	150	Such courage is acknowledged in the Barrens, even though it be in an enemy.	10
1	246	Later he was acquired by soldiers and brought again into the Barrens, their intention being to use him as an interpreter.	10
1	248	He had returned to the Barrens.	10
1	255	As it turned out Grunt and I, traversing the Barrens, had come on the lad and freed him.	10
1	257	Grunt had brought a coffle of white slave girls into the Barrens with him, as pack animals and trade goods.	10
1	295	In Kaiila, as in most of the languages of the Barrens, the adjective commonly succeeds the noun.	10
1	335	They prized many of the things of value which he might bring into the Barrens, the men relishing trinkets such as trade points and knife blades, and the women welcoming trade cloth, chemical dyes and drilled glass beads.	10
1	392	I did not think, incidentally, that Hci's hostility toward Canka had anything to do with Canka's acquisition of, and ownership of, Winyela, the lovely, white, red-haired female slave, the former Miss Millicent Aubrey-Welles, of Pennsylvania, whom Grunt had brought into the Barrens for Mahpiyasapa, h...	10
1	483	She had been brought into the Barrens by Grunt, chained in his coffle, all the way from Kailiauk, near the Ihanke.	10
2	277	Such a hair color is a rarity in the Barrens.	10
2	295	I wondered if she knew the extent to which she was a prize in the Barrens.	10
3	24	Lines of such trees, in the Barrens, and low, sloping geodesics, watersheds, tend to mark, often, the location of the tiny streams which occur in the country.	10
3	69	The Southern, or Lower, Kaiila, like the other larger rivers in the Barrens, however, bearing witness to the accumulation of silts, would be brown and muddy.	10
3	141	The Kaiila, incidentally, in the Barrens, are generally known as the "Cutthroat tribe".	10
7	83	The white female slave, in her way, particularly if she is a new slave, is a trophy in the Barrens, much as kaiila captured from white men, or such beasts captured from enemies might be.	10
7	819	It was only too likely that, through trade chains, his story had widely circulated in the Barrens.	10
9	104	"And you, in the Barrens," I said, "are such a woman".	10
9	106	She had seen slaves, too, in the Barrens, of course, generally white women, the helpless, obedient, collared slaves of red savages.	10
9	584	Perhaps she is chained on a shelf, perhaps she is simply standing before him, naked, thigh-deep in the grass of the Barrens, the filth of his kaiila's paws still about her lips and face.	10
11	90	For too long had I been inactive in my true mission in the Barrens, that of attempting to contact the Kur war general, Zarendargar, Half-Ear, and warn him of the death squad, determined remnants of which still survived, that was hunting him, that commanded by Kog and Sardak, the latter a Blood, a hi...	10
12	125	These women, like most white women in the Barrens, and they well knew it, to their terror, lived at the mercy of, and on the sufferance of, red masters.	10
12	339	I was then carried into the Barrens.	10
12	383	In the Barrens, obviously, it is something of a distinction for a woman, particularly a lowly white woman, to belong to one.	10
12	483	"And then you were captured, and brought into the Barrens, and made a slave," I said.	10
13	11	"My friend, Canka," said Grunt, "the woman was brought into the Barrens for Mahpiyasapa.	10
13	174	Some larger pieces of vegetable and meat, we had, however, in the informal fashion of the Barrens, taken from the pot on our knives.	10
14	72	She had been in political command, under Kog and Sardak, of a force of approximately a thousand mercenaries, the human contingent accompanying Kog and Sardak, and their death squad, into the Barrens.	10
14	88	"Then," said Pumpkin, "regrettably, we would have to put her out of the compound, into the Barrens, without food and water".	10
14	93	"You would, then, let the Barrens do your killing for you," I said.	10
14	346	"It will not be necessary, as first it might have appeared, to put me out into the Barrens, without food and water.	10
15	235	"Shields do not behave like that outside of the Barrens," I told Cuwignaka, smiling.	10
16	259	How naturally I had thought of the former Miss Millicent Aubrey-Welles, of high family, and once a debutante in Pennsylvania, as only another luscious white slave in the Barrens.	10
22	309	They are not unknown outside of the Barrens.	10
23	60	It is known to the slavers of the cities, and to the men of the cities, of course, as well as to the savages of the Barrens.	10
26	64	Such blades are, for the most part, unknown in the Barrens.	10
28	76	Alliances between tribes unfamiliar to one another commonly took place only in resistance to white intrusion into the Barrens.	10
28	80	Certainly it was a surprising kind of generalship to find in the Barrens.	10
28	83	This, in the Barrens, is something in the nature of blasphemy or sacrilege.	10
28	85	This, again, I had to observe, suggested, at least, the advent of a new form of generalship, the adoption of novel tactics, in the Barrens.	10
28	324	With something like a thousand men he had entered the Barrens, with seventeen Kurii, an execution squad from the steel worlds, searching for Half-Ear, Zarendargar, the Kur war general who had been in command of the supply complex, and staging area, in the Gorean arctic, that which was being readied ...	10
28	326	Evidence had suggested that Zarendargar had escaped, and was to be found in the Barrens.	10
28	328	I had come to the Barrens to warn him of his danger.	10
28	341	Suddenly, too, starkly plausible, became such untypical anomalies of the Barrens as the meretricious proposal of a false peace, the spurious pretext of a council in order to gather together and decimate the high men of the Kaiila, and even the unprecedented sacrilege of attacking a people at the tim...	10
28	345	The generalship again suggested that of the cities, not of the Barrens, that of white soldiers, not red savages.	10
28	363	The Kurii, now, allied with the Yellow Knives, and supported by the Flighted Ones, the Kinyanpi, could systematically search the Barrens, unimpeded in their search for Zarendargar, and if an entire people, the nation of the Kaiila, should stand in their way, then what was it to them, if this nation ...	10
29	87	I recalled that long ago, even before I had come to Kailiauk, near the Ihanke, or Perimeter, I had questioned a young man, a tharlarion teamster, as to how it was that Grunt, of all white men, at that time, was permitted to travel so far and with such impunity in the Barrens.	10
29	96	When Grunt had come into the Barrens he had had with him, among his other trade goods, a coffle of slaves.	10
29	137	"Do you wonder," he asked, "why Grunt seeks the Barrens, why he spends so little time with his own people?" "The camp is going to fall, imminently," I said.	10
29	139	"I prefer the Barrens," said Grunt, angrily.	10
29	140	"They have strong stomachs in the Barrens!" "Riders!" said Cuwignaka.	10
32	57	In my own concerns, in my own purposes in the Barrens, to locate and warn Zarendargar of his danger, I had given too little thought to the obvious role of the fierce Kurii in the military politics of the vast grasslands east of the Thentis mountains.	10
32	58	Cuwignaka, as a matter of fact, did not even know of my true mission in the Barrens.	10
33	252	This collaring arrangement, though not unfamiliar on Gor generally, particularly after the fall of a city, when metal collars may not be available in abundance, or in rural areas, is unusual in the Barrens, where leather, thong-tied beaded collars are almost universal.	10
34	301	"Few white females, if any, in the Barrens are free.	10
34	395	They were Hogarthe trees, named for Hogarthe, one of the early explorers in the area of the Barrens.	10
34	396	They are not uncommon in the vicinity of water in the Barrens, usually growing along the banks of small streams or muddy, sluggish rivers.	10
34	482	This hide had been the clue which had brought not only Kog and Sardak, and their allies, to the Barrens, but myself as well.	10
34	485	Now, deep within the Barrens, north of the Northern Kaiila River, in the country of the Casmu Kaiila, I looked upon the shield itself.	10
35	161	They are very beautiful in the Barrens.	10
37	136	Once a tabuk, a prairie tabuk, tawny in the Barrens, single-horned, gazellelike, had grazed nearby.	10
37	276	When one wishes to breed a white female slave in the Barrens usually one simply denies her sip root and waits for the effect of the root to wear off.	10
39	106	"It is not so different in the Barrens," she said, "when one is alone with the master, when the lodge flaps are tied shut, from the inside".	10
39	250	"You are a slave in the Barrens".	10
39	301	The guide-ropes, or reins, of the tarn, as the Kinyanpi fashion them, seem clearly to be based on the jaw ropes used generally in the Barrens by the red savages to control kaiila.	10
40	603	"If you are a free woman," said Mira, "go nobly forth into the Barrens, there to perish of hunger or thirst, or of animals or exposure.	10
40	656	This is something which is recognized even outside of the Barrens.	10
40	720	"Do you think I do not understand," he said, angrily, "that you have made yourself a slave in the hope that you might thereby escape the fate of being put out into the Barrens?" "Whatever might have been my motivation," she said, "the fact remains, in any case, that I am now fully your slave, and ma...	10
40	721	"You had your chance to go nobly into the Barrens, with the dignity of the free woman.	10
40	770	"Do you think it is only because I do not want to be put out into the Barrens?" "Yes!" he said.	10
41	20	"Return it to the Barrens.	10
41	135	"This is the Barrens," he said.	10
43	449	Such sacks, however, do have a utility among the men of the tower cities which they are not likely to have, or would seldom have, among the bold savages of the Barrens.	10
44	604	"It was long ago," I said, "and it was not even in the Barrens".	10
44	687	He viewed her as candidly as a tarsk or kaiila, or as less, as a stripped price girl in a village market beyond the Barrens, as a thonged, bared captive in a warrior's slave camp, as a marked slave in one of the high cities, in a exposition cage, naked save for a sales collar.	10
46	68	To be sure, beyond such considerations, there was little to do in the Barrens with prisoners, unless they were females, who might then be reduced as love prizes to suitable, helpless slaveries.	10
46	181	In the Barrens conflict is typically quarterless.	10
47	193	As nearly as I could determine, few tribes in the Barrens had mastered the tarn.	10
47	198	Similarly, due also to a lack of competition, and the merciless selections of war, they had not yet become to the tarn as the normal warrior in the Barrens is to his kaiila, namely, a member of a matched fighting unit.	10
47	201	Signals were conveyed not by tarn drums, however, but, in one of the manners of the Barrens, by Herlit-bone whistles.	10
47	439	The Barrens must be protected.	10
47	442	Such alliances, those of Yellow Knives with forces such as those of the white soldiers and the Kinyanpi, threatened the delicate tribal balances in the Barrens.	10
47	519	And yet how terrified, too, might she have been for she well knew that in the Barrens beauties had their uses.	10
50	164	The horizons in the Barrens are vast and beautiful.	10
50	167	I looked again then on the breadth of the Barrens, surveying them from the height of Council Rock, returning thereafter to my lodge.	10
52	9	The other would be returned west of the Ihanke, that an account might be rendered of what had occurred in the Barrens.	10
