Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
5	47	Any attempt on the Home Stone was regarded by the citizens of a city as sacrilege of the most heinous variety and punishable by the most painful of deaths, but, paradoxically, it was regarded as the greatest of glories to purloin the Home Stone of another city, and the warrior who managed this was a...	10
3	80	"In fact, in the First Knowledge, there is a story told to the young in their public nurseries, that if a man from Lower Caste should come to rule in a city, the city would come to ruin".	10
3	123	I had seen few women, but knew that they, when free, were promoted or demoted within the caste system according to the same standards and criteria as the men, although this varied, I was told, considerably from city to city.	10
4	79	I was surprised, for this was the first time I had known that my father had been War Chieftain of the city, or that he was even now its supreme civil official, or, for that matter, that the city was named Ko-ro-ba, a now archaic expression for a village market.	10
4	174	"And there," he said, poking downward with his finger, "is the City of Ar, hereditary enemy of Ko-ro-ba, the central city of Marlenus, who intends to be Ubar of all Gor".	10
5	20	Indeed, it seemed their confidence had been well placed, for now Ar, instead of being a single beleaguered city like so many others on Gor, was a central city in which were kept the Home Stones of a dozen hitherto free cities.	10
5	21	There was now an empire of Ar, a robust, arrogant, warlike polity only too obviously involved in the work of dividing its enemies and extending its political hegemony city by city across the plains, hills, and deserts of Gor.	10
5	34	The Older Tarl had told me that Thentis is a city famed for its tarn flocks and remote in the mountains from which the city takes its name.	10
7	95	"I do not ask your name, Warrior," he said, "nor will I repeat the name of your city before the Submitted One, but know that you and your city are honored by the Spider People".	10
15	4	Across the city, from the walls to the cylinders and among the cylinders, I could occasionally see the slight flash of sunlight on the swaying tarn wires, literally hundreds of thousands of slender, almost invisible wires stretched in a protective net across the city.	10
15	129	A brief exchange followed, like a chain reaction, neither man considering his moves for a moment; First Tarnsman took First Tarnsman, Second Spearman responded by neutralizing First Tarnsman, City neutralized Spearman, Assassin took City, Assassin fell to Second Tarnsman, Tarnsman to Spear Slave, Sp...	10
15	173	"You are willing," I asked, "to turn the city over to Pa-Kur—that his horde should swarm into the cylinders, that the city may be looted and burned, the people destroyed or enslaved?" I shuddered involuntarily at the thought of the uncontrolled hordes of Pa-Kur among the spires of Ar, butcher...	10
16	46	It seemed probable that food and water would soon be scarce in the city and that the Initiates, whose resistance had been unimaginative and who were apparently unable to protect the city, would be forced to face a hungry and desperate population.	10
18	59	There are two systems of courts on Gor—those of the City, under the jurisdiction of an Administrator or Ubar, and those of the Initiates, under the jurisdiction of the High Initiate of the given city; the division corresponds roughly to that between civil and what, for lack of a better word, ...	10
2	122	The Home Stone of a village was always placed in the market; in a city, on the top of the highest tower.	10
2	128	Some of the largest cities have small, rather insignificant Home Stones, but of incredible antiquity, dating back to the time when the city was a village or only a mounted pride of warriors with no settled abode".	10
2	137	"Yet there is a hierarchy of Home Stones, one might say, and two soldiers who would cut one another down with their steel blades for an acre of fertile ground will fight side by side to the death for the Home Stone of their village or of the city within whose ambit their village lies.	10
3	26	Incredible as it may seem, I did not doubt that he was the finest scholar in the City of Cylinders, as my father had said.	10
3	75	"The city-state," said my father, speaking to me late one afternoon, "is the basic political division on Gor—hostile cities controlling what territory they can in their environs, surrounded by a no-man's land of open ground on every side".	10
3	86	"The High Castes in a given city," said my father, "elect an administrator and council for stated terms.	10
3	94	The offending war chief is simply abandoned, left alone in his palace to be impaled by the citizens of the city he has tried to usurp".	10
3	122	The Scribes, of course, are the scholars and clerks of Gor, and there are divisions and rankings within the group, from simple copiers to the savants of the city.	10
3	270	No one in the City of Cylinders, as far as I knew, maintained tharlarions, though they were supposedly quite common on Gor, particularly in the lower areas—in swampland and on the deserts.	10
4	8	The tarn was circling the cylinder, uttering piercing cries; then he began to fly away from the city.	10
4	31	The tarn continued to climb, and I saw the City of Cylinders dropping far below me, like a set of rounded children's blocks set in the gleaming green hills.	10
4	41	The great tarn snapped his wings out, catching the air under them, and smoothly began to fly a straight course, his wings beating slowly but steadily in a cruising speed that would soon take us far beyond the towers of the city.	10
4	43	He pointed back toward the city, which was now several miles in the distance.	10
4	45	"Agreed!" he shouted, wheeling his tarn in the instant he spoke, and turning him to the city.	10
4	78	In your veins must flow the blood of your father, once Ubar, War Chieftain, now Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, this City of Cylinders".	10
4	86	At the level of the Second Knowledge, of course, the High Castes, at least in general, recognize the baseless superstition of the Lower Castes and use their own names comparatively freely, usually followed by the name of their city.	10
4	129	Each city has such a chamber.	10
4	139	I supposed the city might be under siege and Torm would fail to notice.	10
4	142	For the Warriors, at least, one could say that they afforded protection to the city, but for the Initiates one could say very little, perhaps only that they provided some comfort for ills and plagues largely of their own manufacture.	10
4	143	In the center of the amphitheater was a throne of office, and on this throne, in his robe of state—a plain brown garment, the humblest cloth in the hall—sat my father, Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, once Ubar, War Chieftain of the city.	10
4	152	"No tower in Ko-ro-ba is stronger than the word of Tarl, this Swordsman of our city.	10
4	161	"Is it to that city that you pledge your life, your honor, and your sword?" asked my father.	10
4	163	"Then," said my father, placing his hands solemnly on my shoulders, "in virtue of my authority as Administrator of this city and in the presence of the Council of High Castes, I declare you to be a Warrior of Ko-ro-ba".	10
5	17	The power of Marlenus, or much of it, lay in the mystique of victory that had never ceased to attend him, acting like a magic spell on his soldiers and the people of his city.	10
5	19	The soldiers, and the Council of his city, had succumbed to his blandishments, his promises of wealth and power for Ar.	10
5	25	But, as my father knew, strife among the free cities would be the very madness which Marlenus of Ar would welcome most; better even that Ko-ro-ba should suffer the indignity of being thought a city of cowards.	10
5	33	I knew little more about her than her name, Sana, and the fact that she was a slave from the City of Thentis.	10
5	48	The Home Stone of a city is the center of various rituals.	10
5	51	The details of the rituals are arranged and mostly executed by the Initiates of a given city.	10
5	137	It took three days to reach the environs of the city of Ar.	10
5	150	The third day's camp was made in the swamp forest that borders the city of Ar on the north.	10
5	187	When I neared Ar, I crouched low in the saddle and hoped that the speck against a moon which might be seen by the watchmen of the outlying towers would be taken for a wild tarn, flying high over the city.	10
5	188	The city of Ar must have contained more than a hundred thousand cylinders, each ablaze with the lights of the Planting Feast.	10
5	189	I did not question that Ar was the greatest city of all known Gor.	10
5	190	It was a magnificent and beautiful city, a worthy setting for the jewel of empire, that awesome jewel that had proved so tempting to its Ubar, the all-conquering Marlenus.	10
5	191	And now, down there, somewhere in that monstrous blaze of light, was a humble piece of stone, the Home Stone of that great city, and I must seize it.	10
6	78	In a moment the voice repeated the question, the volume of the sound being slightly increased, and then added, "Are you from the City of Ar?" "No," I said, taking part in what I believed must be some fantastic hallucination in which I madly conversed with myself.	10
6	80	"I am from the Free City of Ko-ro-ba".	10
6	110	"The word has spread from the city, carried by all the rational creatures, whether they crawl or fly or swim".	10
6	112	"There is great rejoicing on Gor, but not in the city of Ar".	10
7	97	"My city and I are honored".	10
8	7	"The city is in chaos.	10
8	11	He, with fifty tarnsmen, disloyal to the city, seized what they could of the treasury and escaped.	10
8	14	The city is under martial law".	10
8	27	She did her best to save the Home Stone of your city".	10
8	133	"Is it different in your city, Warrior?" "Yes," I said, remembering that in Ko-ro-ba, primitive though it was, the family was respected and maintained.	10
8	137	"What is your city, Warrior?" "Not Ar," I replied.	10
9	15	Moreover, owing to the almost universal hatred borne to the city of Ar by most Gorean cities, it would be imperative in any case to keep the identity of my fair companion a secret.	10
9	21	"Your tarn was killed by my father's men, and you are taking me back to your city, to be your slave".	10
9	27	It would be generally assumed that the mysterious tarnsman who had stolen the Home Stone and disappeared with the daughter of the Ubar must long ago have reached whatever unknown city it was to which he had pledged his sword.	10
9	45	We met very little on the highway, perhaps because of the anarchy in the city of Ar.	10
9	104	It is a city in the delta of the Vosk and as much a den of pirates as anything else.	10
9	115	There is a camp there such as you have never seen—a city of tents, pasangs of tharlarion corrals; the wings of the tarns sound like thunder overhead.	10
9	125	"To the banks of the Vosk, to the City of Tents," said the warrior.	10
10	5	It is a part of the kinship of Gorean warriors regardless of what city it is to which they owe their allegiance.	10
10	19	Moreover, he was far too shrewd to pretend that he had heard of the city.	10
10	20	After all, what if there was no such city? Mintar looked at the ring of mounted spearmen encircling me.	10
10	32	"In the wagons I have four hundred fully as beautiful, destined for the City of Tents".	10
10	81	"If you like," said Mintar, paying no attention to Talena, "I will arrange her sale in the City of Tents and add her price to your wages".	10
11	1	The City of Tents For several days, to the sound of the caravan bells, we made our way through the Margin of Desolation, that wild, barren strip of soil with which the Empire of Ar had girded its borders.	10
11	9	It was I who had stolen the Home Stone of Ar, who had brought about the downfall of Marlenus, the Ubar, who had set the spark that had brought Ar to anarchy and the vultures below to feed on the divided carcass of what had been Gor's greatest city.	10
11	13	The caravan of Mintar did not camp as usual in the heat of the day but moved on, attempting to reach the City of Tents before darkness.	10
11	42	That night I took Talena into the City of Tents, and by the light of torches set on lances we walked arm in arm through the crowded streets, among the colorful tents and market stalls.	10
11	47	This vast city of silk would surely have its Street of Brands.	10
11	70	Kazrak was gone, and my suspicion was that he was gone for the night, that he was even now tangled in the sleeping robes of one of the torchlit booths of the City of Tents.	10
12	145	Carved on it, crudely, was a single letter in an archaic Gorean script, that single letter which, in the old spelling, would have been the name of the city.	10
13	18	There would be many who would leave the city to seek the comparative safety of the mountains.	10
14	4	I gathered that he had finally seen fit to terminate the suffering of the warrior who had stolen the Home Stone of his city.	10
14	30	"I risked my life a thousand times and gave the years of my youth to the vision of Ar and its empire, that there might be on all Gor but one language, but one commerce, but one set of codes, that the highways and passes might be safe, that the peasants might cultivate their fields in peace, that the...	10
15	7	Within the city the Initiates, who had seized control shortly after the flight of Marlenus, would have already tapped the siege reservoirs and begun to ration the stores of the huge grain cylinders.	10
15	8	A city such as Ar, properly commanded, might withstand a siege for a generation.	10
15	14	Between the ditch and the walls of the city, under the cover of darkness, thousands of sharpened stakes had been set, inclined toward the walls.	10
15	29	One aspect of the siege which I knew would exist but which I obviously could not witness would be the sensitive duel of mine and countermine which must be taking place between the camp of Pa-Kur and the city of Ar.	10
15	33	Given the depth of the foundations of Ar's mighty walls and the mantle of rock on which they were fixed, it would be extremely unlikely that her walls could be successfully undermined to the extent of bringing down a significant section, but it was surely possible that if one of the tunnels managed ...	10
15	40	I brought the tarn down near the far ranges of Pa-Kur's tents, where his camp ended, seven or eight miles from the city.	10
15	54	Over the compound, as if it were a small city under siege, was stretched a set of interlaced tarn wires.	10
15	131	"You have taken the City," he said, "but not the Home Stone".	10
15	155	"I have used the Assassin to take the City.	10
15	161	"Yes," agreed Marlenus, "and Ar is the City".	10
15	166	"If the Assassin should take the city," I said, "the rule of the Initiates will be broken, and eventually the horde with its loot will scatter, leaving a garrison".	10
15	180	They will never keep the city".	10
15	181	"Can't you enter the city and take power?" I asked.	10
15	187	"Do you have a way into the city?" I asked.	10
15	198	"Besides, few of the soldiers of Gor, barbarians though they might be, would risk the destruction of their city's Home Stone—the luck of their birthplace".	10
15	201	"But the city will be safe".	10
15	203	"What is it, Ubar, that you hold dearest—your city or your title? Do you seek the welfare of Ar or your private glory?" Marlenus leaped to his feet, hurling the yellow robes of the Afflicted from him, drawing his blade from its sheath with a metallic flash.	10
15	207	"My men and I will enter the city tonight".	10
16	4	In the meantime, until the city fell or Pa-Kur altered his plans, she would presumably be safe.	10
16	13	Occasionally I would climb halfway up one of the siege towers under construction and observe the city of Ar and the skirmishes that took place between it and the first ditch.	10
16	14	Periodically the shrill notes of alarm bugles would pierce the air, as forces from Ar emerged to do battle on the plains before the city.	10
16	16	Sometimes the forces of Pa-Kur drove the warriors of Ar back to the very walls of the city, forcing them through the gates.	10
16	24	The men of Ar remained within their walls, under their tarn wire, waiting for the attacks to come, while the Initiates of the city sacrificed to the Priest-Kings.	10
16	42	Meanwhile, at several points in the city and at randomly selected times, picked tarnsmen of Pa-Kur, each of whose tarns carried a dangling, knotted rope of nine spearmen, dropped to the wires and the tops of cylinders, landing their small task forces of raiders.	10
16	45	The city would now have to depend primarily on its private wells and the hope of rain.	10
16	48	I was certain that he had entered the city in some manner and was presumably waiting for his chance to strike at the Home Stones of the tributary cities, in order, if possible, to divide the horde of Pa-Kur.	10
16	50	Marlenus and several men had entered the city, it seemed, but had been discovered—and sealed off in the very cylinder of the Home Stones—indeed, in that cylinder that had been his palace in the days of his glory.	10
16	76	"Pa-Kur will not destroy the city," I said, "and he will keep as much of his horde as he can".	10
16	81	"Even should he survive, he is outlawed in his own city".	10
16	152	"He wishes me to say that the city will soon fall and that you shall soon sit beside him on the throne of Ar".	10
17	8	In these days I did not wear the garb of the Caste of Assassins, but dressed as a nondescript tarnsman, wearing the insignia of no city.	10
17	20	Rumor had it that dozens of tunnels, unimpeded, now extended beneath the second wall and could be opened in a matter of hours at various places in the city.	10
17	23	Worse, from the reports of deserters, it became clear that the city was starving and that water was running short.	10
17	28	In the camp of Pa-Kur we expected the city to fall any day, any hour.	10
17	30	I truly believe that the brave men of Ar, in their valorous if blind love for their city, would have maintained the walls until the last slain warrior had been thrown from them to the streets below, but the Initiates would not have it so.	10
17	31	In a surprise move, which perhaps should have been anticipated, the High Initiate of the city of Ar appeared on the walls.	10
17	42	The bargaining of the Initiates was largely to secure their own safety and, as much as possible, to prevent the utter ravaging of the city.	10
17	49	The second major condition requested by the Initiates was that the city be garrisoned by only ten thousand chosen troops, and that the balance of the horde be allowed to enter the gates only unarmed.	10
17	50	There were a variety of smaller, more intricate concessions desired by the Initiates and granted by Pa-Kur, mostly having to do with the provisioning of the city and the protection of its tradesmen and peasants.	10
18	1	In the Central Cylinder As the tarn climbed, I saw the camp of Pa-Kur, the ditches, the double walls of Ar with siege engines like leeches fastened to the inner wall, and, approaching the city, Pa-Kur's long lines of chanting garrison troops, the morning sun flashing on their metal, their march mea...	10
18	8	Marlenus had entered the city.	10
18	12	The Dar-Kosis Pits beyond the city.	10
18	13	One of them, one of those pits, must be a blind; one of them must allow an underground access to the city.	10
18	27	"Pa-Kur approaches the city," I cried.	10
18	32	Why is this? Take it down in order that his tarnsmen may enter the city unimpeded".	10
18	41	I was not, of course, concerned with facilitating the entry of Pa-Kur's tarnsmen, who, as far as I knew, did not even constitute a portion of the garrison force, but I was concerned with opening the sky over the city in case I, and others, might be able to utilize it as a road to freedom.	10
18	89	For several minutes I examined the blank wall, sure that it held the secret of Marlenus's entrance into the city.	10
18	115	I reasoned that the tarns must be those of the men of Marlenus, left in the tarn cot when he entered the city.	10
19	13	"The garrison of Pa-Kur is well within the city.	10
19	16	"But I must fight for my city.	10
19	17	I am Ubar of Ar, and while I live, my city will not perish".	10
19	22	He had brought his tarn to flight and was descending to the streets below to rally the dispirited citizens of Ar, to call them again to arms, to challenge them to renounce the treacherous authority of the self-seeking Initiates, to strike again their blow for freedom, to die rather than yield their ...	10
19	24	None left the roof of the cylinder to seek his safety beyond the city.	10
19	26	And I, too, if a higher duty had not called me, might have chosen to follow Marlenus, ruthless Ubar of that vast and violated city.	10
19	30	I noted grimly, as I flew, that large portions of the horde of Pa-Kur were crossing the great bridges over the first ditch and moving toward the city, the sunlight flashing on their weaponry.	10
19	31	It seemed that the conditions of surrender meant little to the horde and that it was determined to enter the city, now and in the full panoply of war.	10
19	69	"Will you surrender your city? Yield your lives and women to Assassins?" I challenged.	10
19	162	As we fought, the men of Ar, fighting brilliantly for their city, their honor and loved ones, pushed back the men of Pa-Kur again and again, but from the interior of the cylinder swarmed more men of the Assassin.	10
19	174	Thousands of the great birds, their wings clapping like thunder, were descending on the city, flying onto the bridges and down to the streets, darting among those spires no longer protected with the terrible defense of the tarn wire.	10
19	180	Many of Pa-Kur's tarnsmen were already streaking from the city, seeking their own safety.	10
19	183	Moreover, with the closing of the great gate, there was no refuge in the city; they were trapped against the walls, packed like cattle for the slaughter, trampling one another, unable to use their weapons.	10
19	235	In the city his garrison had surrendered.	10
19	240	"I will take you to Ko-ro-ba," I said, "to my city".	10
20	22	The sentence of death passed upon him by the usurping government of the Initiates was rescinded, but because his imperialistic ambition was feared, he was exiled from his beloved city.	10
20	23	Such a man as Marlenus can never be second in a city, and the men of Ar were determined that he should never again be first.	10
20	24	Accordingly, the Ubar, tears in his eyes, was publicly refused bread and salt, and, under penalty of death, was ordered to leave Ar by sundown, never again to come within ten pasangs of the city.	10
20	28	His appointment was confirmed by Ar's Council of High Castes, and his popularity in the city is such that it seems probable that in the future the office will be his by free election.	10
20	31	A holiday was declared, and the city was ablaze with light and song.	10

Book 2. (148 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	14	So standing, the sun upon me, without thinking I raised my arms as in pagan prayer to acknowledge the power of the Priest-Kings, which had once again brought me from Earth to this world, the power which once before had torn me from Gor when they were finished with me, taking me from my adopted city,...	10
2	48	This love of their city tends to become invested in a stone which is known as the Home Stone, and which is normally kept in the highest cylinder in a city.	10
2	49	In the Home Stone—sometimes little more than a crude piece of carved rock, dating back perhaps several hundred generations to when the city was only a cluster of huts by the bank of a river, sometimes a magnificent and impressively wrought, jewel-encrusted cube of marble or granite—the...	10
2	51	It is almost as if the city itself were identified with the Home Stone, as if it were to the city what life is to a man.	10
4	96	But how could it have known? How could it have known that I was Tarl of Ko-ro-ba, and that I was returning to my city? There is a Gorean proverb that a man who is returning to his city is not to be detained.	10
5	5	Whereas Ar was glorious, a city of imposing grandeur, that acknowledged even by its blood foes; whereas Thentis had the proud violence of the rude mountains of Thentis for its setting; whereas Port Kar could boast the broad Tamber for its sister, and the gleaming, mysterious Thassa beyond, I thought...	10
12	65	"Of what city?" "Of no city".	10
12	87	Some had even sung their way from city to city, their poverty protecting them from outlaws, and their luck from the predatory beasts of Gor.	10
20	60	Chronology, incidentally, is the despair of scholars on Gor, for each city keeps track of time by virtue of its own Administrator Lists; for example, a year is referred to as the Second Year when so-and-so was Administrator of the city.	10
20	61	One might think that some stability would be provided by the Initiates, who must keep a calendar of their feasts and observances, but the Initiates of one city do not always celebrate the same feast on the same date as do those of another city.	10
26	10	They have destroyed a city, and in a sense they have restored a city.	10
26	107	But I go to the Sardar for more than truth; foremost in my brain there burns, like an imperative of steel, the cry for blood-vengeance, mine by sword-right, mine by the affinities of blood and caste and city, mine for I am one pledged to avenge a vanished people, fallen walls and towers, a city frow...	10
1	6	Young Cabot was rather tall, a good-sized man, well-built, with an animal ease in his walk that perhaps bespoke the docks of Bristol, his native city, rather than the cloisters of Oxford, at one of whose colleges he had obtained his later education.	10
1	128	Cabot, still half-drunk, looked about himself, at the brutal electric geometry of that great city, at the dark, lonely shapes that moved through the light snow, at the pale glimmering headlights of the cars.	10
1	129	"This is a great city," said Cabot, "and yet it is not loved.	10
1	130	How many are there here who would die for this city? How many who would defend to the death its perimeters? How many who would submit to torture on its behalf?" "You're drunk," I said, smiling.	10
1	131	"This city is not loved," he said.	10
1	142	It was a document pertaining to what Cabot called the Counter-Earth, the story of a warrior, of the siege of a city, and of the love of a girl.	10
1	188	Later, following another examination, I was admitted to the bar in New York State, and I entered one of the immense law offices in the city, hoping to obtain eventually enough experience and capital to open a small practice of my own.	10
2	13	From them, if this were true, I could gather my bearings for Ko-ro-ba, that city of cylinders to which, years ago, I had pledged my sword.	10
2	16	That I had been returned to Gor to seek out once more my city and my love was, I was sure, not the spontaneous gesture of generosity, or of justice, that it might seem.	10
2	25	Normally the Gorean shield is painted boldly and has infixed in it some device for identifying the bearer's city.	10
2	26	If this shield were intended for me, and I had little doubt it was, it should have carried the sign of Ko-ro-ba, my city.	10
2	37	This was as it should be, as I was of that caste, and had been since that morning, some seven years ago, when in the Chamber of the Council of High Castes I had accepted weapons from the hands of my father, Matthew Cabot, Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and had taken the Home Stone of that city as my own...	10
2	38	For the Gorean, though he seldom speaks of these things, a city is more than brick and marble, cylinders and bridges.	10
2	40	The Gorean senses, or believes, that a city cannot be simply identified with its material elements, which undergo their transformations even as do the cells of a human body.	10
2	41	For them a city is almost a living thing, or more than a living thing.	10
2	45	Accordingly, to be of a city is, in a sense, to have been a part of something less perishable than oneself, something divine in the sense of undying.	10
2	47	And this perhaps makes them love their cities the more, for they know that their city, like themselves, is subject to mortal termination.	10
2	52	The myths of these matters have it that while the Home Stone survives, so, too, must the city.	10
2	53	But not only is it the case that each city has its Home Stone.	10
2	54	The simplest and humblest village, and even the most primitive hut in that village, perhaps only a cone of straw, will contain its own Home Stone, as will the fantastically appointed chambers of the Administrator of so great a city as Ar.	10
2	55	My Home Stone was the Home Stone of Ko-ro-ba, that city to which I had seven years ago pledged my sword.	10
2	56	I was now eager to return to my city.	10
2	63	This blade had fought its way up the stairs of the Central Cylinder of Ar, when I had rescued Marlenus, embattled Ubar of that city.	10
2	80	This was contrary to the ways of Gor, for normally only the habiliments of outlaws and exiles, men without a city, lack the identifying devices of which the Gorean is so proud.	10
2	83	Judging by the sun, and knowing that Ko-ro-ba lay northwest of the mountains, I strode in the direction of my city.	10
3	1	Zosk I had walked for some hours in the direction of Ko-ro-ba when I was delighted to come on one of the narrow roads to the city.	10
3	2	I recognized it, and even had I not, the cylindrical pasang stones that marked its length were each inscribed with the sign of the city and the appropriate pasang count to its walls.	10
3	11	It was late afternoon and, judging by the pasang stones, I was still some hours from the city.	10
3	94	"Zosk of what city?" I asked.	10
3	100	"Of what city?" I asked.	10
3	101	"Of no city," he said.	10
4	2	It was a nightmarish journey, and a foolish one, trying to rush on through the night to find my city, bruising, falling, scraping myself in the darkness, yet driven on by such a torment of doubt and apprehension that I could allow myself no rest until I stood again on the lofty bridges of Ko-ro-ba.	10
4	3	Was I not Tarl of Ko-ro-ba? Was there not such a city? Each pasang stone proclaimed there was—at the end of this road.	10
4	47	By now it seemed to me that I should be able to see the lights of the cylinder city of Ko-ro-ba.	10
4	54	The city must be in darkness.	10
4	55	Why were the lanterns not hung on the lofty bridges? Why were the lamps of a hundred colors and flames not lit in the compartments of the city, telling in the lamp codes of Gor of talk, of drinking, of love? Why were the huge beacons on the wall not burning, not summoning Ko-ro-ba's far-roving tarns...	10
4	57	Now that I had not seen the lights of Ko-ro-ba, as I would have expected, it struck me more forcibly that I had not even seen the lights of peasant cooking fires glowing in the hills surrounding the city, or the torches of rash sportsmen who hunt the sleen by night.	10
4	94	"Did you, Oh Dark Brother of the Night, think to keep me from Ko-ro-ba?" How absurd it seemed to me that a mere sleen should have stood between me and my city.	10
5	4	Ko-ro-ba was not set as high and remote as, for example, was Thentis in the mountains of Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, but it was not a city of the vast plains either, like the luxurious metropolis of Ar, or of the shore, like the cluttered, crowded, sensuous Port Kar on the Tamber Gulf.	10
5	10	At last on the crest I waited and wiped the cold water from my eyes, waited for the flash of lightning that after these long years would reveal my city.	10
5	11	I longed for my city, and for my father, the magnificent Matthew Cabot, once Ubar, now Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and for my friends, the proud Older Tarl, my master-at-arms, and Torm, the cheerful, grumbling little scribe who regarded even sleep and food as part of a conspiracy to separate him from...	10
5	14	Ko-ro-ba was gone! The city had vanished! The darkness followed the flash of lightning and the shock of the thunder shook me with horror.	10
5	49	"Henceforth," said the man, "you are Tarl of no city".	10
5	61	"Then be it so," he said, "you are henceforth condemned to wander the world alone and friendless, with no city, with no walls to call your own, with no Home Stone to cherish.	10
5	62	You are henceforth a man without a city, you are a warning to all not to scorn the will of the Priest-Kings—beyond this you are nothing".	10
5	64	"What of my father, my friends, the people of my city?" "Scattered to the corners of the world," said the robed figure, "and not a stone may stand upon a stone".	10
5	71	Was it on my account that a city had perished? Was it I who had brought disaster to its people, to my father, to my friends and Talena? Had I been too foolish to understand that I was nothing before the power of the Priest-Kings? Was I now to wander the forlorn roads and fields of Gor in guilt and a...	10
5	89	"No," he said, "I was one of the guards of Ar, and I fought to save my city".	10
6	9	Unlike the men of Earth, the Gorean has little sensitivity to race, but much to language and city.	10
6	22	It is a different matter, of course, if it is explicitly known that the outlaw is from a city other than one's own.	10
6	24	He is, after all, not of one's city.	10
6	25	As was wise, I avoided cities in my long journey, though I passed several, for to enter a city without permission or without satisfactory reason is tantamount to a capital crime, and the punishment is usually a swift and brutal impalement.	10
6	29	There was reputedly one exception to this generally prevalent attitude of hostility toward the stranger, the city of Tharna, which, according to rumor, was willing to engage in what on Gor might be accounted the adventure of hospitality.	10
6	30	There were many things supposedly strange about Tharna, among them that she was reportedly ruled by a queen, or Tatrix, and, reasonably enough in the circumstances, that the position of women in that city, in contrast with common Gorean custom, was one of privilege and opportunity.	10
6	31	I rejoiced that in at least one city on Gor the free women were not expected to wear the Robes of Concealment, confine their activities largely to their own quarters, and speak only to their blood relatives and, eventually, the Free Companion.	10
6	37	I wondered if I might be able to secure a tarn in the intriguing city of Tharna.	10
6	40	For that matter, though I did not seriously consider the possibility, being without a city, in effect an outlaw, I was entitled in the Gorean way of thinking to take the bird or its purchase price in any way I saw fit.	10
6	43	It is unusual to find a woman unescorted outside the walls of a city, even near the walls.	10
6	50	There is a saying on Gor that the laws of a city extend no further than its walls.	10
6	54	It is regarded as meritorious to abduct one's women from a foreign, preferably hostile city.	10
6	58	One cruel courtesan in the great city of Ar, now little more than a toothless, wrinkled hag, boasted that more than four hundred men had died because of her beauty.	10
6	74	The young man approaches her, bearing a slave collar, its engraving proclaiming his name and city.	10
6	92	There is no one she knows, or could know, because she has been taken from a hostile city, she is a woman of the enemy.	10
6	177	"Of what city?" I asked.	10
7	66	"Of what city?" he asked.	10
7	117	"I will not take her to Tharna, but to my villa," said Thorn, "which lies outside the city".	10
7	134	"Why have you dared to survive your city?" she asked.	10
8	1	The City of Tharna The streets of Tharna were crowded, yet strangely silent.	10
8	3	It must be as I had heard, that the streets of Tharna were open to all men who came in peace, whatever their city.	10
8	4	Curiously, I examined the crowds, all seemingly bent on their business, yet strangely tight lipped, subdued, much different from the normal, bustling throngs of a Gorean city.	10
8	5	Most of the male citizens wore gray tunics, perhaps indicative of their superiority to pleasure, their determination to be serious and responsible, to be worthy scions of that industrious and sober city.	10
8	8	Normally the caste colors of Gor would be in abundant evidence, enlivening the streets and bridges of the city, a glorious spectacle in Gor's bright, clear air.	10
8	9	I wondered if men in this city were not proud of their castes, as were, on the whole, other Goreans, even those of the so-called lower castes.	10
8	20	They walked in this city unattended, with an imperious step, the men of Tharna moving to let them pass—in such a way that they never touched.	10
8	25	Wandering in the city, I found myself in Tharna's marketplace.	10
8	27	I missed the shrill, interminable calls of the vendors, each different; the good-natured banter of friends in the marketplace exchanging gossip and dinner invitations; the shouts of burly porters threading their way through the tumult; the cries of children escaped from their tutors and playing tag ...	10
8	52	After all, how many scarlet-clad warriors appeared from day to day in the drab streets of Tharna? I climbed one of the towers of Tharna, wanting to look out upon the city.	10
8	55	Slowly I let my eye wander the city, surely in its people and their customs one of the most unusual on Gor.	10
8	56	Tharna, though a city of cylinders, did not seem to my eye as beautiful as many other cities I had seen.	10
8	61	Tharna was not a city to lift the heart of a man.	10
8	62	Yet I knew that this city was, from my point of view, one of the most enlightened and civilized on Gor.	10
8	74	"You are a stranger in this city," he said.	10
8	76	"Who are you, Stranger?" "I am a man of no city," I said, "whose name is Tarl".	10
8	109	Since the siege of Ar, when Pa-Kur, Master Assassin, had violated the limits of his caste and had presumed, in contradiction to the traditions of Gor, to lead a horde upon the city, intending to make himself Ubar, the Caste of Assassins had lived as hated, hunted men, no longer esteemed mercenaries ...	10
9	2	Here even in the noble city of Tharna there was intrigue, political strife, ambition that would not brook confinement.	10
9	6	"I represent a personage of power in this city," he said.	10
9	33	Inns, as such, are not plentiful on Gor, the hostility of cities being what it is, but usually some can be found in each city.	10
9	62	"Thank you, Warrior," I said, and turned back to the city.	10
9	79	I must have seemed strange to them, a scarlet-clad warrior, bearing weapons, suddenly entering, a man from another city unexpectedly in their midst.	10
10	23	I respected the quiet, efficient guardsmen of Tharna, and I had already encountered her skilled warriors in a field far from the city.	10
10	24	I wondered if Thorn were in the city, and if Vera now wore her pleasure silk in his villa.	10
10	26	How would my word, the word of a stranger, weigh against the words of Ost, a citizen of Tharna and perhaps one of significance? Yet, incredibly perhaps, I looked forward to seeing the palace and the Tatrix, to meeting face to face the unusual woman who could rule, and rule well, a city of Gor.	10
11	28	It was Thorn, Captain of Tharna, whom I had met in the fields far from the city.	10
11	45	"Is it thus, Stranger," she asked, her tones cold, "that you expected to carry from the city the wealth of Tharna?" I was puzzled, my body was racked with pain, my vision was blurred with sweat.	10
12	49	"I will be sent from the city, to the Great Farms, where I will carry water to Field Slaves".	10
12	69	"He was," she said, "not even of this city".	10
12	82	"I, So-and-So of Such-and-Such a City, made this song," he would say, "not a Priest-King".	10
12	92	"Nonetheless," she said, her eyes happy, "this man, Andreas, of the Desert City of Tor, crept into the city—looking for a song, he said".	10
12	97	In my silver mask I followed him, and determined that he had been within the city for more than ten hours".	10
12	122	"I sheltered him," she said, "and managed to smuggle him from the city".	10
12	137	"When you do not join him, will he not come searching for you, re-enter the city?" "No," she said.	10
12	143	"And," she added, "he will not enter the city.	10
12	147	"So you think he will fear to enter the city?" I asked.	10
12	148	"Yes," said she, "he will not enter the city.	10
13	7	One, silent, to my left, I knew to be Andreas of the Desert City of Tor.	10
13	40	Then, to my astonishment, the men of Tharna who were yoked in the arena, kneeling, rejected by their city, condemned, chanted a strange paean.	10
13	44	Hail to the Tatrix of our City.	10
14	52	It recalled the tarn cots of Ko-ro-ba and Ar, the Compound of Mintar in Pa-Kur's City of Tents on the Vosk, the outlaw encampment of Marlenus among the crags of the Voltai Range.	10
14	55	Yet it was perhaps more, for as I stood by the bird, I felt almost as though I had come home to Ko-ro-ba, as though I stood here now with something in this gray, hostile city that knew me and mine, that had looked upon the Towers of the Morning, and had spread its wings above the glistening cylinder...	10
14	56	I seized the ankle ring, and noted as I had expected that the name of its city had been filed away.	10
14	87	I wondered what thoughts passed behind the golden mask of Lara, Tatrix of the city of Tharna.	10
14	104	"You at least," I said, "do not fear the accents of my city".	10
14	112	Could it remember the Vosk, like a silver ribbon beneath its wings; could it recall fighting the blasts and upwinds of the rugged Voltai Range; could it recall Thentis, famed for its tarn flocks, Ko-ro-ba's gleaming towers, or the lights of Ar as they had blazed that night of the Planting Feast of S...	10
14	179	But I knew even as I cried out that I was not free, and I burned with shame that I had so bespoke myself, for how could I be free when others in that gray city were bound? There was the girl, warm-eyed Linna, who had been kind to me, whose auburn hair was knotted with coarse string, who wore the gra...	10
14	181	And there were how many more, yoked and unyoked, bound and free, in the mines, on the Great Farms, in the city itself who suffered the misery of Tharna and her laws, who were subject to the crushing weight of her traditions, and knew at best nothing better in life than a bowl of cheap Kal-da at the ...	10
14	194	The awnings had been struck, but the stands were still filled, as the thousands of silver masks of Tharna waited for the golden Tatrix herself to be the first to leave that scene of the macabre amusements of the gray city.	10
15	42	Her tarnsmen might be mercenaries, or perhaps men like Thorn, Captain of Tharna, who in spite of their city thought well of themselves and maintained at least the shreds of caste pride.	10
16	2	It lay about one hundred pasangs northwest of the city, and was a lonely white column of solid marble, perhaps four hundred feet in height and a hundred feet in diameter.	10
16	33	"All Tharna is yours, Warrior," cried Dorna the Proud, "if you but relinquish our noble Tatrix! The city weeps for her return! I fear there will be no more joy in Tharna until she sits again upon her golden throne!" I laughed.	10
16	112	The Tatrix looked out over the plains, in the direction of the city.	10
16	113	"By now," she said, "lines of rejoicing citizens will be setting out from the city".	10
17	67	I had failed my city, my beloved Talena, my father, my friends.	10
17	72	These mines are tortuous networks of tunnels worming themselves inch by inch irregularly through the rich ores that are the foundation of the wealth of the city.	10
19	61	They shouted my name, and, without fear, that of my city.	10
19	77	"Speak, Tarl of Ko-ro-ba," said Kron, using the name of my city as easily as he might have said the name of any other.	10
19	155	I had seen the power of the Priest-Kings at work—in the mountains of New Hampshire years ago when it was so delicately exercised as to affect the needle of a compass, in the Valley of Ko-ro-ba where I had found a city devastated as casually as one might crush a hill of ants.	10
20	63	But so far there has been no military victory of Ar over other cities and, accordingly, free of the sword, the Initiates of each city regard themselves as supreme within their own walls.	10
20	66	The other is that sometimes cities are willing to add, in their records, beside their own dating, the dating of Ar, which is Gor's greatest city.	10
21	44	The primary significance of the collar is that it identifies the master and his city.	10
21	229	And many of the cities of Gor were represented on that chain, sometimes spoken of as the Slaver's Necklace—there was a blond girl from lofty Thentis, a dark-skinned girl with black hair that fell to her ankles from the desert city of Tor, girls from the miserable streets of Port Kar in the de...	10
22	55	I put my arms around her slender shoulders and to my amazement she who had worn the golden mask of Tharna, she who had been Tatrix of that gray city, put her head upon my chest and wept.	10
22	111	He scattered my council and defeated my armies and took me and stripped me and bound me naked across the saddle of his bird and then, with a great cry, he carried me to his city, and there I, once proud Tatrix of Tharna, wore his brand and collar".	10
22	113	"And in his city," said the girl, her eyes bright, "he put bells upon my ankles and dressed me in dancing silk.	10
22	144	And then, in the slaver's tent, Lara, who had been Tatrix of Tharna, told me something of the strange history of her city.	10
22	175	In a city such as Tharna the men, taught to regard themselves as beasts, as inferior beings, seldom develop the full respect for themselves essential to true manhood.	10
22	235	And so it was that I took the cords from her hand, and in the same night Lara who had once been the proud Tatrix of Tharna became according to the ancient rites of her city my slave girl—and a free woman.	10

21	55	It is a nerve-wracking business, the negotiation of an enemy city, knowing that discovery might bring torture or sudden death, at best perhaps an impalement by sundown on the city's walls, a warning to any other who might be similarly tempted to transgress the hospitality of a Gorean city.	10
8	39	It might be added that there are two items which the Wagon Peoples will not sell or trade to Turia, one is a living bosk and the other is a girl from the city itself, though the latter are sometimes, for the sport of the young men, allowed, as it is said, to run for the city.	10
8	243	The problem of the young man, and perhaps the reason that he had not yet won even the Courage Scar of the Tuchuks, was that he had fallen into the hands of Turian raiders in his youth and had spent several years in the city; in his adolescence he had, at great risk to himself, escaped from the city ...	10
10	26	"Is it your wish," she asked, "that I run for the city?" She referred to a cruel sport of the young men of the wagons who sometimes take Turian slave girls to the sight of Turia's walls and then, loosening bola and thong, bid them run for the city.	10
