10 1 The Council of Captains I took my seat in the Council of the Captains of Port Kar.
Details
10
10 11 The Ubars were represented on the council, to which they belonged as being themselves Captains, by five empty thrones, sitting before the semicircles of curule chairs on which reposed the captains.
Details
10
10 136 The approximately one hundred and twenty captains of the Council of the Captains of Port Kar have, pledged to their personal service, some thousand ships.
Details
10
10 138 Beyond these ships there are some twenty-five hundred ships which are owned by some fifteen or sixteen hundred minor captains of the city, not wealthy enough to sit on the Council of Captains.
Details
10
11 154 The ships of the captains, returning, would further guarantee their power in the city, their crews being applicable where the captains might choose.
Details
10
17 10 Our fleet was further supplemented by some fourteen hundred ships furnished by private captains, minor captains of Port Kar, most of which were round ships.
Details
10

Details
10
9 101 Nominally beneath these Ubars, but in fact much independent of them, is an oligarchy of merchant princes, Captains, as they call themselves, who, in council, maintain and manage the great arsenal, building and renting ships and fittings, themselves controlling the grain fleet, the oil fleet, the sla...

9 117 I knew one of these mercenary captains, Ha-Keel, murderer, once of Ar, whom I had met in Turia, in the house of Saphrar, a merchant.
Details
10
10 8 Accordingly I, who had been Tarl Cabot, once a warrior of Ko-ro-ba, the Towers of the Morning, sat now in the council of these captains, merchant and pirate princes, the high oligarchs of squalid, malignant Port Kar, Scourge of Gleaming Thassa.
Details
10
10 15 There are commonly about one hundred and twenty captains who form the council, sometimes a few more, sometimes a few less.
Details
10
10 29 The "Stone" of Port Kar, tested against the official "Stone" at the Sardar, reposed in a special fortified building in the great arsenal, which complex was administered by agents of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
10 46 Although there were some one hundred and twenty captains in the council, seldom more than seventy or eighty, either in person or by proxy, made an appearance at its meetings.
Details
10
10 59 Though his helmet still bore the two golden slashes, it now bore as well a crest of sleen hair, permitted only to captains.
Details
10
10 63 Many of the captains, incidentally, were client to one Ubar or another.
Details
10
10 68 He may have seen me that night, among the rencers on the island, but he did not place me, one who now sat on the Council of the Captains of Port Kar.
Details
10
10 85 There are the five flags of the Ubars, and many flags for many captains.
Details
10
10 121 Captains, commonly, do not eat with their men.
Details
10
10 122 My attention was returned now to the meeting of the Council of the Captains of Port Kar.
Details
10
10 159 The wages of a sail-maker, incidentally, are four copper tarn disks per day, those of a fine shipwright, hired by the Council of Captains, as much as a golden tarn disk per day.
Details
10
10 170 The Council of Captains respects those who build and outfit ships.
Details
10
10 180 I would note, of course, that these weaknesses, or virtues, of the men of the arsenal are, of tradition, welcomed by the Council of Captains; without them the arsenal could not be as efficiently and economically managed as it is.
Details
10
10 276 Those I did not wish, for one reason or another, to free, I sold to other captains, or exchanged them for slaves whom I might free, several of whom, when freed, also agreed to serve with me.
Details
10
10 284 Certain other captains, I noted, were now also experimenting, on certain of their ships, with free crews.
Details
10
10 285 My attention was then returned to the meeting of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
10 295 The location of all such trees is kept in a book available to the Council of Captains.
Details
10
10 335 At that moment a man burst into the hall in which was sitting the Council of Captains.
Details
10
11 1 The Crest of Sleen Hair The Captains leaped from their chairs, crying out.
Details
10
11 24 Then, behind him, in groups of four and five, crying out, many bleeding from wounds, weapons brandished, and sometimes bloodied, there came those captains who could.
Details
10
11 35 More captains, their back to the room, fighting, falling, were retreating through the door.
Details
10
11 36 They were the last of the captains.
Details
10
11 38 Its great weight, to screams of horror, fell crushing upon men who, with shields and swords, were closely pressing the captains.
Details
10
11 40 "Bring curule chairs!" I ordered the captains.
Details
10
11 51 "Can you hold this door?" I asked the captains, and the scribes and pages there.
Details
10
11 55 "Secure that door," I told four of the captains.
Details
10
11 57 I myself, taking with me two captains, went to a rear corner of the great chamber, whence, via a spiraling stairwell, the roof of the hall of the council might be attained.
Details
10
11 60 "There are no ships from Cos or Tyros in the harbor," said one of the captains standing near me.
Details
10
11 63 "Those wharves," I said, "are those of Chung and Eteocles?" "Yes," said one of the captains.
Details
10
11 86 "It appears," said one of the captains at my side, "that Henrius Sevarius is not yet Ubar of Port Kar".
Details
10
11 93 I could see, even at the distance, leaping from the prow of the ship to the tiles of the piazza, running across the large, oblique-looking, colored squares toward the Hall of the Council of Captains, the great Thurnock, with his yellow bow, followed by Clitus, with his net and trident, and by Tab, w...
Details
10
11 113 They had surely served to draw the captains of Port Kar into the ambush prepared for them outside the hall of the council.
Details
10
11 116 I, and the three other captains, stood on the sloping roof of the hall of the council and watched the ships burning at the wharves.
Details
10
11 118 I turned to one of the captains.
Details
10
11 120 Also have captains ascertain the military situation in the city.
Details
10
11 122 "But surely Cos and Tyros—" said one of the Captains.
Details
10
11 131 "And summon the four captains," I said, "who are Chung, Eteocles, Nigel and Sullius Maximus".
Details
10
11 133 "The captains," I said.
Details
10
11 135 Summon them as captains".
Details
10
11 138 "If they do not come," I told him, "tell them they will no longer be captains in the eyes of the council".
Details
10
11 139 The captains looked at me.
Details
10
11 141 The captains looked at one another, and nodded.
Details
10
11 143 The power of the captains had been little diminished.
Details
10
11 147 The ships of the captains were usually moored, beyond this, within the city, in the mooring lakes fronting on their holdings and walled.
Details
10
11 159 Further, if necessary, the Council of Captains, with its power, might intercept and impound their ships, as they returned, one by one.
Details
10
11 167 The council, I expected, itself composed of captains, men much like myself, would provide a political structure within which my ambitions and projects might well prosper.
Details
10
11 172 I turned and faced the captains.
Details
10
11 173 "Until the twentieth hour, Captains," said I.
Details
10
11 179 Above us, in the chamber of the Council of Captains, I could hear feet moving about on the wooden floor, chairs scraping.
Details
10
11 196 Some of those who had started these fires, who had been apprehended, now, under the torches, screamed on the racks beneath the chamber of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
11 205 Men of the captains maintain their watch.
Details
10
11 232 "They were hired by the men of Henrius Sevarius, some to slay captains, some to fire the wharves and arsenal".
Details
10
11 241 He had been one who had, with his crossbow, fired on the captains as they had run from the council.
Details
10
11 308 Then Samos, who was senior captain of the Council of Captains of Port Kar, turned and left.
Details
10
11 315 The Hall of the Council, this night, was surrounded by the men of the captains, who, too, patrolled the rooftops and the walks beside the canals for a full pasang on all sides.
Details
10
11 328 "The captains of the council," said Samos, dryly, "have some one thousand ships pledged to their personal service.
Details
10
11 335 "I refer to the ships of the minor captains, in the number of better than twenty-five hundred!" "In the streets," said Samos, "I have heard the cry 'Power to the council!'" "Proclaim Henrius Sevarius sole Ubar," said Lysias numbly, "and your lives will be spared, and you will be granted amnesty".
Details
10
11 354 "Glorious Captains," said Samos.
Details
10
11 363 Even the page boys and the scribes, and minor captains, in the back of the room and about the sides, cried out these words.
Details
10
11 372 "I now ask the table scribe," said Samos, "to call the roll of captains".
Details
10
11 380 And almost every one of the captains in that council drew their weapon, as had Samos, and placed it across their knees.
Details
10
11 405 There were some abstentions, and some nays, perhaps from those who feared the power of one or another of the Ubars, but the decision on the whole was clear, a devastating of the claims of the Ubars and the, in effect, enthronement of the Council of Captains as sovereign in the city.
Details
10
11 409 One of these studies was to be a census of ships and captains, the results of which were to be private to the council.
Details
10
11 415 One might not always be able to count on the rallying of the men of individual captains to protect the council, as had been the case this afternoon.
Details
10
11 418 It was shortly past daybreak, and the gray light of Port Kar's dawn was filtering in through the high, narrow windows of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
11 424 His words received grunts of affirmation from the assembled captains.
Details
10
11 428 The captains looked at one another.
Details
10
11 430 I saw one or two of the captains raise their heads from the arms of their curule chairs.
Details
10
11 449 "No!" came the cry from the assembled captains.
Details
10
11 452 The captains looked at one another in puzzlement, and then they began to smile, and then several laughed.
Details
10
11 462 The captains looked at me, dumbfounded.
Details
10
11 466 Several of the captains then laughed.
Details
10
11 476 The captains muttered angrily.
Details
10
11 480 "Then," said one of the captains, "they must intend to bring their fleets against us".
Details
10
11 482 There was a grunt of agreement from the captains.
Details
10
11 484 "You speak quickly," he said, "for one who is new to the Council of Captains".
Details
10
11 496 The captains looked at one another.
Details
10
11 503 Peace, my captains, might well prove profitable".
Details
10
11 508 The captains murmured among themselves.
Details
10
11 526 The captains looked at one another, and grinned.
Details
10
11 544 He was senior captain of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
11 550 I had not realized until then that I was valued in the Council of Captains.
Details
10
11 551 Antisthenes spoke, who had been first on the roll of captains.
Details
10
11 556 There are merchants of other cities, voyagers and captains, known to us, who will, for their fees, gladly conduct this business".
Details
10
11 560 "I am, of course, highly honored," I began, "that noble Samos should think of me, that he should nominate me, doubtless the lowliest of the captains here assembled, for a post of such distinction, that of bearing the peace of Port Kar to her hereditary enemies Cos and Tyros".
Details
10
11 561 The captains looked at one another, grinning.
Details
10
11 575 The captains regarded one another.
Details
10
11 586 The captains said nothing.
Details
10
11 601 I asked myself if Samos thought he was so easily rid of me, one who might challenge him, senior captain, in the council of the captains of Port Kar.
Details
10
11 609 And then I turned to the captains on the tiers.
Details
10
12 4 Until the formation of the council guard, the captains and their men would have for their responsibility the maintaining of watches throughout the city.
Details
10
12 88 "Of the Council of Captains?" he asked.
Details
10
13 12 I put to them, the Ubars of Cos and Tyros, as well as I could, the proposals of the Council of Captains of Port Kar, that there would be concord, and doubtless an opening of commerce, between the two Ubarates and the maligned city in the Vosk's delta, my own Port Kar.
Details
10
13 188 "I trust, too," said Chenbar, "that you will not be the last of the captains of Port Kar to pull an oar on the round ships of Cos or Tyros".
Details
10
13 229 By the eighth hour various captains of round ships had arrived and begun to haggle with the slave master over the prices of the oarsmen.
Details
10
13 241 "Let me test your grip," said one of the captains.
Details
10
14 354 "If these figures are correct," I said to Clitus, "as doubtless they are, we and the Captains of Port Kar are today the masters of much treasure".
Details
10
14 463 And, of tarn ships, I have one captured, your flagship, and, from the reports of my captains, some eighteen or twenty have been seriously damaged or sunk.
Details
10
15 15 The ships, in a splendid, long line, filing behind me, the Dorna first, then the tarn ships, then the round ships, under oars, moved slowly through the city, following the triumphal circuit of the great canal, passing even before the chamber of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
15 87 "When the treasures have been checked, tallied, and appraised, which should take some four or five weeks," I told her, "you, with your maidens, in the chains of slave girls, will be displayed, together with samples of, and full accountings of, the other treasures, before the Council of Captains".
Details
10
15 92 "What will you do with us after we have been displayed before the Council of Captains?" she asked.
Details
10
15 102 In this very afternoon the formal presentations and accountings of the victory and its plunder had taken place in the chamber of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
15 107 And now, in this very afternoon, my glories had been climaxed in the chamber of the Council of Captains, in which had taken place the formal presentations and accountings of the victory and its plunder, in which had taken place the commendation of the Council for my deeds and the awarding of its mos...

10
15 108 Even now, in my feast of celebration, hours after the meeting of the council, I still wore about my neck the broad scarlet ribbon with its pendant medallion of gold, bearing the design of a lateen-rigged tarn ship, the initials in cursive Gorean script of Council of Captains of Port Kar in a half cu...
Details
10
15 249 I fingered the broad scarlet ribbon and the medallion, pendant about my neck, bearing its tarn ship and initials, those of the Council of Captains of Port Kar.
Details
10
15 259 They had not in themselves the stuff of captains.
Details
10
15 346 I fingered the golden medallion with the lateen-rigged tarn ship, and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar in its half-curve beneath it.
Details
10
15 481 This afternoon I had presented her, with her maidens, in the chains of slave girls, together with portions of the treasures of the treasure fleet, and accountings of the balance thereof, before the Council of Captains of Port Kar.
Details
10
15 486 This afternoon, after returning from the Council of Captains, I had had her marked and collared.
Details
10
15 507 I had also had her maidens marked and collared, following the meeting of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
15 649 "Admiral!" I clutched the medallion about my neck, with its tarn ship and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar.
Details
10
15 817 "You, too," she said, "wear a collar!" I tore away from my throat the broad scarlet ribbon, with its pendant medallion, with the tarn ship and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar.
Details
10
16 142 "And captains are fleeing! All who can are leaving Port Kar!" I looked at him.
Details
10
16 153 I picked up the broad scarlet ribbon, with its medallion, that with the tarn ship and the initials of the Council of Captains of Port Kar.
Details
10
16 178 "What are we to do?" asked one of my captains.
Details
10
16 211 "Many of the captains," said another officer, "are already weighing anchor for the northern islands".
Details
10
16 297 "To the Council of Captains," I told them.
Details
10
16 309 The ship nosed through the canals of Port Kar toward the hall of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
16 338 "I think to the Council of Captains," said one of the men on the walk.
Details
10
16 341 I saw bundles thrown down and arms unsheathed, and behind us, in throngs of thousands now, came the people of Port Kar, following us to the great piazza before the hall of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
16 342 Even before the man in the bow had tied the tharlarion-prowed longboat to a mooring post at the piazza, I had leaped up to the tiles and was striding, robes swirling, across the squares of the broad piazza toward the great door of the hall of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
16 348 Of the usual seventy or eighty, or so, captains of the approximately one hundred and twenty entitled to sit in the council, only some thirty or forty were present.
Details
10
16 352 The captains sat silently.
Details
10
16 354 Two more captains rose to their feet and left the room.
Details
10
16 362 The captains looked up.
Details
10
16 364 "How many of you," asked I of the captains, "stand ready to undertake the defense of your city?" Dark, long-haired Bejar was there.
Details
10
16 367 "Most of the captains have already fled.
Details
10
16 368 And hundreds of the lesser captains.
Details
10
16 381 Through the thick walls, and the high, narrow windows of the hall of the Council of Captains, there came a great, rumbling cry, the thunderous mixture of roiling shouts.
Details
10
16 393 The captains looked at me.
Details
10
16 395 Then the other captains, too, laughed.
Details
10
16 400 Slaves are not permitted in the hall of the captains.
Details
10
16 417 "Captains," said I, "accompany me to the steps of the hall".
Details
10
16 418 They followed me, and I left the chamber of the council, and, in a few moments, stood on the top of the broad marbled steps leading up to the hall of the Council of Captains.
Details
10
17 11 Beyond this, we had three hundred and fifty ships furnished by the captains of the council who had not, prior to the time of the showing of the Home Stone, fled.
Details
10
17 13 My own ships counted in with these of the captains of the council.
Details
10
17 86 Hopefully, the terror of being taken in the flank might cause many captains, or even Chenbar himself, to have the fleet put about, and, if so, this would make their ships the most vulnerable to our own.
Details
10
17 151 Surely many captains, of the council and otherwise, had done so, their holds filled with their chained slaves and secured treasures.
Details
10
17 293 "Of all the tarnsmen in Port Kar," I said, "and of all the captains, you alone have accepted the risks of this venture, the use of tarns at sea".
Details
10
18 117 How else, I asked myself, had he been able to take an oar on the longboat in the canals when I had gone to the hall of the Council of Captains, or been able to board the Dorna, or taken his place in the longboat that had ferried me to the round ship? I, too, was not unfond of the boy.
Details
10
18 676 "The Council of Captains of Port Kar," said Samos, "has business with you".
Details
10
18 831 "Why!" "Samos," said I, "was it from you that the message came, months ago, which I received in the Council of Captains, seeking to speak with me?" "Yes," said Samos.
Details
10
18 833 "The dungeon of the hall of captains scarcely seemed the place to discuss the business of Priest-Kings".
