8 57 This was perhaps because the cylinders were, on the whole, less lofty than those of other cities, and much broader, giving an impression of a set of squat, accumulated disks, so different from the lofty forests of sky-challenging towers and battlements distinguishing most Gorean cities.

9 72 I thought of the yellow Gorean bread, baked in the shape of round, flat loaves, fresh and hot; my mouth watered for a tabuk steak or, perhaps, if I were lucky, a slice of roast tarsk, the formidable six-tusked wild boar of Gor's temperate forests.

19 146 Slave girls who escape masters or some free women, who will not accept the matches arranged by their parents, or reject the culture of Gor, occasionally flee to these forests and live together in bands, building shelters, hunting their food, and hating men; there are occasional clashes between these...

8 258 We, and the wagons, passed between wooden sleds, with leather runners, on which there were squared blocks of granite, from the quarries east of Laura; and between barrels and hogsheads of fish and salt; and between bales of sleen fur and panther hides, from the forests beyond.

9 224 The forests of the northern temperate latitudes of Gor are countries in themselves, covering hundreds of thousands of square pasangs of area.
Details
10
9 225 They contain great numbers of various species of trees, and different portions of the forests may differ considerably among themselves.
Details
10
9 226 The most typical and famous tree of these forests is the lofty, reddish Tur tree, some varieties of which grow more than two hundred feet high.

16 210 Doubtless she was much pleased to put the daughter of her enemy, Marlenus of Ar, he who had captured her in the northern forests, and had caged her, and exhibited her, in a simple rep-cloth work tunic.

10
16 213 It would make it easier to bring her to the northern forests.

17 231 It was the small man, who had touched me intimately when I had lain bound in my own bed on Earth, the small man who had threatened me in the hut in the northern forests, who had been the mountebank, the master, I had thought, of the strange beast, the terrible beast.

1 62 "Talena, daughter of Marlenus of Ar, I learn, has been taken as slave to the northern forests," I said.
Details

1 111 "She was taken to the northern forests, I have learned," I said, "by the outlaw girl, Verna, to serve as bait for her capture of Marlenus of Ar, who is presumed to be concerned for her rescue".

1 166 Would she refuse the gold, the gems, the silks and silvers, and spilling coins, the choice wines, the servants and slaves, the security of the house of Bosk for the lonely freedoms and silences of the salt marshes of the Vosk's vast delta? Did she expect me to hasten after her, piteously begging her...
Details
10
1 170 "In the morning," I said, "I leave for the northern forests".
Details
10
1 193 The strip which had been shaven on his head, from the forehead to the back of the neck, signified that he had been captured, and sold, by the panther girls of the northern forests.
Details
10
1 211 When they wearied of me, I was taken, leashed and manacled, to a lonely beach, at the edge of Thassa, bordering on the western edge of the forests".
Details
10
1 223 "What were you doing in the northern forests?" I asked him.
Details
10
1 228 "Few travelers journey through the northern forests," I said.

1 229 "Commonly," said he, "I plundered beyond the forests".

1 276 In the morning, from the house of Bosk, in the far city, bordering the delta, I shall leave for the northern forests.

2 363 They live by themselves in the northern forests, by hunting, and slaving and outlawry.

10
2 475 There was little sugar in the forest, save naturally in certain berries, and simple hard candies, such as a child might buy in shops in Ar, or Ko-ro-ba, were, among the panther girls in the remote forests, prized.
Details
10
2 476 It was not unknown that among the bands in the forests, a male might be sold for as little as a handful of such candies.
Details
10
2 529 Already Sheera, and her girls, had disappeared from the beach, slipping as invisibly, as naturally, as she-panthers into the darkness of the forests.
Details
10
3 78 We also passed a chain of male slaves, brought downriver from Laura, shaven-headed wretches, taken somewhere in the forests by fierce panther girls.
Details
10
4 163 "I sought the northern forests," she said.
Details
10
4 166 "So you arrived at the edge of the forests," I said, "and released the tarn".

10
5 101 Where was there for her to run? In the forests there were sleen and panthers, and fierce tarsks.
Details
10
5 296 She knew the forests.
Details
10
6 16 The Tesephone continued to move slowly upriver, between the banks of the Laurius, the fields to the south, the forests to the north.
Details
10
6 23 Then she lifted her eyes to the forests beyond.
Details
10
6 29 She looked at me with horror, and then again turned to the forests on the north.
Details
10
6 126 "What girl, braceleted, could live in the forests?" asked Thurnock.
Details
10
6 127 "No girl, braceleted," I said, "can live long in the forests.
Details
10
6 132 "You have in mind a skilled girl," said Thurnock, "one experienced in the ways of the forests".
Details
10
6 151 "Verna has taken Talena to the forests, to bait a trap for Marlenus.
Details
10
6 209 "Who knows," he asked, "what may happen in the forests?" "What shall we do, Captain?" asked Thurnock.
Details
10
6 212 "Yes," she said, standing before me, deep within the forests.
Details
10
6 216 If I did so, she would be almost helpless in the forests.
Details
10
6 227 We had come deep into the forests.
Details
10
6 254 I suspected that, already, they were aware of our presence in the forests.
Details
10
6 332 I had also pointed guards about the camp, in case, as was unlikely, there should be an attempt to make an approach through the forests.
Details
10
6 352 It was quite possibly the same camp he had used several months ago, when, as recreation from the duties of the Ubar, he had gone hunting in the northern forests, a sporting trip in which he had captured a large number of animals, and, as well, Verna, a famed outlaw woman, and her entire band.
Details
10
6 377 He had finished closing the wall, setting the two stakes, sharpened, inclined toward the forests, into place.
Details
10
6 503 Marlenus, with men, would hunt the forests.
Details
10
6 542 "These are the forests of panther girls.
Details
10
6 569 I looked into the darkness of the forests.
Details
10
6 570 We would indeed leave the forests, and by noon of the morrow.
Details
10
6 587 As far as those in Laura knew, or those in the forests, with the exception of the panther girls of Verna's band, we were what we seemed, traders in fur and hide.
Details
10
6 736 "When will we return to the forests?" asked Rim.
Details
10
6 759 "I cannot wait," said Thurnock, "until we can again enter the forests!" I looked at him.
Details
10
6 763 "Perhaps we can bring you back a little panther girl from the forests".
Details
10
6 920 "In the forests," she said, "you made me carry trade goods on my back.
Details
10
6 1127 In the morning, we go into the forests".
Details
10
7 31 Who knew how high might be raised the chair of Bosk? "Do not go, Master, into the forests," had begged Sheera.
Details
10
7 113 It did not displease me that I should bring his daughter to safety from the forests before him, or that I should have Verna, and her band, prisoner, well trussed in tight binding fiber, waiting for my iron, while he still, unknowingly, sought them where they were not.
Details
10
7 140 The girls, alerted, might abandon the camp and flee deeply into the forests, taking Talena with them.
Details
10
7 264 Soon, perhaps within two or three days, more panther girls might be entering this portion of the forests.
Details
10
7 345 I had learned from Grenna, my prisoner, that an unusually large band of panther girls, under a woman named Hura, was even now advancing toward these areas of the forests.
Details
10
7 351 Additional numbers of panther girls, entering these countries of forests, might well confuse or complicate my plans.
Details
10
8 9 Outlaws move well in the forests, moving, like panther girls, with swiftness and stealth, and leaving little trace of their passage.
Details
10
8 130 I did not know how long it would take for Hura, and her band, to reach our area of the forests.
Details
10
9 145 "He then withdrew his men from the forests".
Details
10
9 215 "Yes," smiled Verna, "in the forests we have well taught her the meaning of slavery".
Details
10
9 314 How brave and noble I had been to enter the forests, to rescue the beautiful Talena, daughter of Marlenus of Ar.
Details
10
9 359 Marlenus had disowned her, and had withdrawn from the forests.
Details
10
9 360 And I, who was to have been such a hero, so clever, so noble and brave, so victorious, now myself lay helplessly bound in a clearing in the great northern forests, the prisoner of fierce panther girls.
Details
10
10 20 "I will be second to Hura," said Mira to Verna, "when her band arrives to command this portion of the forests".
Details
10
10 96 "I learned from spies," said Marlenus, "that you were come to the forests".
Details
10
11 49 It would lie through the forests to the west, above Lydius, on the coast of Thassa.
Details
10
11 93 Marlenus, who had hunted in the forests since his boyhood, was a master of woodcraft.
Details
10
11 113 Long ago, more than a year ago, when he had first captured Verna on a hunting expedition, prior to her escape and acquisition of Talena, and her return to the forests, he had intended to bring her to Ar in triumph and there, in the great square before Ar's central cylinder, publicly enslave her.
Details
10
11 341 "I have arranged for the girls of Hura, more than a hundred of them, to be in the forests about the camp.
Details
10
11 513 Hanging is a not uncommon penalty in the northern forests for outlawry.
Details
10
11 915 "And sought refuge in the forests?" "Yes".
Details
10
12 36 How foolishly I had brought my prides and my plans to the northern forests.
Details
10
12 43 Each of us, including the mighty Bosk, wore the two-and-one-half inch swath on our heads, running from our foreheads to the back of our necks, making it clear to all who it was who had taken us in the forests.
Details
10
13 15 They knew little of the forests.
Details
10
13 168 There was bigger game in the forests.
Details
10
13 249 The trip to the exchange point through the forests would be long.
Details
10
13 313 But where might they find allies in the forests? Marlenus, it seemed, for once in his life, had miscalculated.
Details
10
14 50 The men of Tyros, I was sure, would be eager to march their captives through the forests north of Laura and Lydius to the exchange point, where they would meet, by prearranged rendezvous, the Rhoda and the Tesephone.
Details
10
14 252 It might have been a rite not of women, but of she-panthers! How starved must be the lonely, hating panther women of the forests, so gross is their hostility, so fierce their hatred, and yet need, of men.
Details
10
15 14 Panther girls enjoy the capture of escaped female slaves in the forests.
Details
10
15 103 Too, it should produce dissension between the men of Tyros and their allies, the lovely panther girls of the northern forests.
Details
10
15 132 I had heard angry shouts from the men of Tyros, telling them to hunt the forests.
Details
10
16 52 Indeed, she was, though braceleted and collared, a tatrix of the forests.
Details
10
16 283 It rang through the forests.

10
17 27 Some, I expected, perhaps high girls in Hura's band, had been carried by their sisters of the forests.
Details
10
18 17 "The sea!" he cried into the forests.
Details
10
18 31 Yet on the trackless beaches, lining the western edge of the great northern forests for hundreds of pasangs, below the bleakness of Torvaldsland, it would not be easy to make rendezvous.
Details
10
18 33 "The sea!" cried others, now stumbling from the forests.
Details
10
18 242 Panther girls knew the forests.
Details
10
21 52 All that he had come to the northern forests to accomplish he had failed to do.
Details
10
22 209 It was removed from the throat of Verna, panther girl of the northern forests.
Details
10
22 282 "I have the forests," she said.
Details
10
22 324 "I have the forests," she said.
Details
10
22 334 "And perhaps," said she, "from time to time, you might come again to hunt in the northern forests".
Details
10
22 343 Then she turned and vanished into the dark green shadows of the northern forests.
Details
10
22 407 I, too, know the forests.
Details
10
22 495 Hura and Mira were lovely souvenirs of the northern forests, fitting mementos for the great Ubar; they were tokens of his victories, reminders of his success; their captive bodies would be found by him doubtless, when he looked upon them, rich in meaning as well as in pleasure.
Details
10
22 496 I could imagine him, drinking, pointing to one, telling his companions the story of the northern forests.
Details
10
22 574 They entered the forests.
Details
10
22 739 Verna would hunt alone in the forests.
Details
10
22 773 I wondered if she might, sometime, trek to Ar, to call upon its Ubar or if he, attending to his hunting in the northern forests, might once more chance upon her.

1 302 I was taken to the northern forests.
Details
10
1 454 And when Telima had fled my house, when I had determined to seek Talena in the northern forests, I had, too, let her go.

1 457 I thought then of Vella, once Elizabeth Cardwell, whom I had encountered in the city of Lydius, at the mouth of the Laurius River, below the borders of the forests.
