2	147	Then, after a long moment, not looking at me, he said, "It is rumored there is such a stone, but it lies in the Sacred Place and is the source of the Priest-Kings' power".	10
2	158	There was a sect among the people that worshipped the sun, I later learned, but it was insignificant both in numbers and power when compared with the worship of the Priest-Kings, who, whatever they were, were accorded the honors of divinity.	10
2	168	"Is not a creature beyond death, of immense power and wisdom, worthy to be so spoken of?" I was quiet.	10
2	242	"Any power that is capable of moving a planet—and I believe the Priest-Kings possess this power—is capable of effecting adjustments in the motion of the planet, such adjustments as might allow it to use the sun indefinitely as a concealing shield".	10
2	248	Consider certain consequences of this power.	10
3	93	"Those who do not desire to surrender their power," said my father, "are usually deserted by their men.	10
3	154	If it was in my power, I resolved to do what I could to abolish what seemed to me a degrading condition.	10
4	28	I drew back on the one-strap and, filled with terror and exhilaration, felt the power of the gigantic wings beating on the invisible air.	10
4	55	His neck straightened and his wings suddenly cracked like whips in the sky; his eyes became fiery and his every bone and muscle seemed to leap with power.	10
4	83	On the level of the First Knowledge, it is maintained that knowing the real name gives one a power over a person, a capacity to use that name in spells and insidious magical practices.	10
4	107	I turned off the power switch on the mat and folded back its blanket sides.	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
6	119	Her chances of survival seemed now more slim than if I had cut the ladder over the cylinders of Ar when she hung helplessly in my power, the treacherous daughter of the Ubar Marlenus.	10
7	226	She strode to face me, her eyes mocking and triumphant, seeing me shackled and in her power.	10
8	31	In that moment I detested the Initiates of Ar, who, like other members of their caste throughout Gor, were only too eager to seize some particle of the political power they had supposedly renounced in choosing to wear the white robes of their calling.	10
8	39	The officer regarded her calmly, and she blushed, realizing her body was no longer sacred in his sight, no longer protected by the power of the Ubar.	10
12	47	I should have known that the proud Talena, daughter of a Ubar, would leap at the first chance to return to power in Ar, even though it be at the head of a plundering host of brigands.	10
14	34	Where others could see no more than the codes of their castes, where others could sense no call of duty beyond that of their Home Stone, I dared to dream the dream of Ar—that there might be an end to meaningless warfare, bloodshed, and terror, an end to the anxiety and peril, the retribution ...	10
15	178	They crave political power, but can't understand it or manipulate it.	10
15	181	"Can't you enter the city and take power?" I asked.	10
15	186	How many would rally to the banner of an outlaw? No, the power of the Initiates must first be broken".	10
15	199	"But," said Marlenus, frowning, "if the siege is lifted, the Initiates will be left in power".	10
19	88	The spiritual power of the Supreme Initiate was almost sensible in the air.	10
19	97	I knew almost nothing of the fabled Priest-Kings, but I did know that something of the sort must exist, for I had been brought to Gor by an advanced technology, and I knew that some force or power lay in the mysterious Sardar Mountains.	10
20	12	Perhaps the Priest-Kings, whoever or whatever they might be, reasoned that such a man was dangerous, that such a man might in time raise his own banner of dominion; perhaps they realized that I, of all on Gor, did not revere them, would not turn and bow my head in the direction of the Sardar Mountai...	10
20	72	Who or what are the Priest-Kings that they should so determine the lives of others, that they should rule a planet, terrorize the cities of a world, commit men to the Flame Death, tear lovers from each other's arms? No matter how fearful their power, they must be challenged.	10

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
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	73	Somehow the power I had felt in his presence seemed to have vanished.	10
5	121	It was said that the Supreme Home Stone of all Gor lay within those mountains and was the source of the Priest-Kings' power.	10
7	34	It was obvious that Thorn, unlike my old enemy Pa-Kur, who presumably had perished at the siege of Ar, was not a man above sensual vices, not a man who could with fanatical purity and single-minded devotion sacrifice himself and entire peoples to the ends of his ambition and power.	10
9	6	"I represent a personage of power in this city," he said.	10
14	8	Hideous though the death might seem to the silver masks of Tharna, they did not know that I was a tarnsman, and knew these birds, their power, their ferocity; that in my way I loved them; and that as a warrior I would not find a death by tarn ignoble.	10
19	152	The power and knowledge of the Priest-Kings is perhaps beyond the comprehension of mortal men, or, as it is said on Gor, of the Men Below the Mountains.	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
19	156	Yes, I knew that the power of the Priest-Kings—rumored even to extend to the control of gravity—could lay waste cities, scatter populations, separate friends, tear lovers from one another's arms, bring hideous death to whomsoever it might choose.	10
19	157	As all men of Gor I knew that their power inspired terror throughout a world and that it could not be withstood.	10
22	169	Accordingly, gradually exploiting, perhaps unconsciously, the opportunities afforded by the training of children and the affections of their men, the women of Tharna improved their position considerably over the generations, also adding to their social power the economic largesse of various funds an...	10
23	31	She knew as well as I, perhaps better, the fearful power of the Priest-Kings.	10
26	106	I have wondered about the Priest-Kings and their power, their ships and agents, their plans for their world and mine; but most importantly I must learn why my city was destroyed and its people scattered, why it is that no stone may stand upon another stone; and I must learn the fate of my friends, m...	10
26	108	I speak as though my frail arm might avail against the power of Priest-Kings.	10
26	109	Who am I to challenge their power? I am nothing; not even a bit of dust, raised by the wind in a tiny fist of defiance; not even a blade of grass that cuts at the ankles of trampling gods.	10
26	120	Could Priest-Kings, with their knowledge and power, have need of such a man? But Priest-Kings need nothing from men, and once more my thoughts grow foolish.	10

1	93	Indeed, I had come to the Sardar to encounter the fabled Priest-Kings, whose incomparable power so inextricably influences the destinies of the cities and men of the Counter-Earth.	10
1	95	I myself had seen the power of Priest-Kings and knew that such beings existed.	10
1	96	I myself had traveled in a ship of the Priest-Kings which had twice carried me to this world; I had seen their power so subtly exercised as to alter the movements of a compass needle, so grossly demonstrated as to destroy a city, leaving behind not even the stones of what had once been a dwelling pl...	10
1	97	It is said that neither the physical intricacies of the cosmos nor the emotions of human beings are beyond the scope of their power, that the feelings of men and the motions of atoms and stars are as one to them, that they can control the very forces of gravity and invisibly sway the hearts of human...	10
2	64	I think it would be fair to say that it is substantially feline; at any rate its grace and sinuous power remind me of the smaller but similarly fearsome jungle cats of my old world.	10
5	143	"Yes," she continued, "I, armed with my beauty, would come to the Sardar and wrest the riches and power of the Priest-Kings from them, for men had always sought to serve me, to give me what I wanted, and were the Priest-Kings not men?" People had strange reasons for entering the Sardar, but the reas...	10
5	190	Apparently the rays which must emanate from the sensors, rays not within that portion of the spectrum visible to the human eye, must possess the power to penetrate at least common molecular structures, something like an X ray pierces flesh.	10
5	194	"I came to the Sardar," she laughed, "to conquer the Priest-Kings and rob them of their riches and power!" She ran to the far wall, suddenly breaking into tears.	10
5	246	Vika, in spite of her nine years of captivity, her confinement in this chamber, was still a headstrong, spoiled, arrogant girl, and one fully aware of her yet unconquered flesh, and the sinuous power which her beauty might exercise over men, its capacity to torture them and drive them wild, to bend ...	10
8	38	"But how?" "By their power," said Vika, moving back to the wall.	10
14	160	"Then," I suggested, "he wants you to die so that he will be the only remaining member of the Council and thus have absolute power".	10
14	162	"Still," I suggested, "his power would be considerably augmented".	10
17	108	"Surely," I said bitterly, "with all the knowledge and power of Priest-Kings you could build something mechanical, a robot, which might resemble a man and do this work for you".	10
17	115	"Could a man so resist you that he could throw off the power of the net?" "I doubt it," said Sarm, "unless the net were faulty".	10
17	116	"If it could be done," I said, "what would you do?" "It is a simple matter," said Sarm, "to overload the net's power capacity".	10
18	87	One of the latter was the power source of the Priest-Kings, the great plant wherein the basic energy is generated for their many works and machines.	10
18	109	"So this is the source of the Priest-Kings' power," I said.	10
18	113	"Here," he said, "is the true source of our power".	10
18	122	Sarm, standing on that high platform with me, over the bluish dome, over the refulgent power source so far below, lifted his antennae and turned, sweeping them over this vast, intricate, beautiful, formidable domain.	10
18	138	"You would not wish to see this beauty and this power pass from our common world, would you?" asked Sarm.	10
18	175	"Good," said Sarm, and we began to trace our way downward around that vast bluish globe that sheltered the power source of Priest-Kings.	10
19	3	Sarm did not act as quickly as I had anticipated and from the room of the power source had simply returned me to Misk's compartment, where my case was kept.	10
19	43	"Then it might seem," I proposed, somewhat maliciously, "that from one point of view, contrary to your suggestion of yesterday, that these tiny pieces of metal—and not the modifications of the ganglionic net—are the true and ultimate source of the Priest-Kings' power".	10
19	50	"Very well," said Sarm, "the true source of the Priest-Kings' power lies in the microparticles of the universe".	10
27	68	There were perhaps a thousand Priest-Kings in the Nest, and I supposed that this might be almost all the Priest-Kings in the Nest, save perhaps those that might be essentially placed at a few minimum posts, such as the guard at the steel barricade and perhaps some in the Scanning Chamber or, more li...	10
27	111	I looked at the golden rows of Priest-Kings, alert, immobile, their heads wreathed in green leaves, about their necks dangling the tiny, primitive, silverish tools telling of a distant, simpler time before the Scanning Chamber, the Power Plant and the Flame Death.	10
27	362	Then before my horrified eyes the carcass of that ancient she began to shiver and tremble and I stood back as she struggled to my amazement to her feet and reared herself to the height of a Priest-King, her antennae extended to their very lengths as though grasping, clutching, trying to sense someth...	10
28	56	"The lights will be on again as soon as the equipment can be built and the power fed into the system".	10
28	165	Former Mul engineers, trained by Priest-Kings, had constructed an auxiliary power unit and had fed its energy into the main system.	10
29	91	The silver tube might be draining its power but it was still a fearsome weapon against an exposed enemy.	10
29	96	The silver tube still lay intact in the firing port but its power was so considerably reduced that it was no longer a menace to the ships of Sarm.	10
29	122	The tube was almost drained of power but the point-blank range and the intensity of even the diminished beam melted the hinges from the hatch.	10
30	132	"Perhaps more power," said Parp, raising his voice so that his words might be carried by Sarm's own translator.	10
31	7	When I was unchained I was informed by Sarm that the small box he carried activated my control net and at the first sign of disobedience or difficulty he would simply raise the power level—literally boiling my brain away.	10
31	27	Two of the tiny hooklike appendages on his foreleg spun the power dial on the control box.	10
31	68	I could see that neither of them had the least intention of injuring one of the lovely creatures in their power.	10
31	109	"The Power Plant," said Misk.	10
31	112	In a few moments, though the disk was damaged by falling stone and I could barely see through the powdery drifts of rock hanging in the collapsing tunnels, I had come to the Power Plant and leaped from the disk and raced to its doors.	10
31	114	In less than a minute I had kicked open another grille and dropped inside the great domed room of the Power Plant.	10
31	120	I looked up to see Sarm on that narrow passage that traced its precarious way around the great blue dome that covered the power source.	10
31	123	Then I saw him through the sides of the blue dome that covered the power source, far above, a golden figure on the narrow walkway at the crest of the dome.	10
31	124	He fired at me, burning a hole in the dome near him, exposing the power source, and the same flashing burst of fire tore at the area of the dome behind which I stood.	10
31	128	Then he fired a burst directly down into the power source and it began to rumble and throw geysers of purple fire up almost to the hole which Sarm had burned in the globe.	10
31	129	To one side, though I scarcely noticed it at the time, I saw a vague, domelike golden shape, one of the Beetles which, undoubtedly confused and terrified, had crept into the room of the Power Plant from the tunnel outside, through the door I had opened for Misk and his Priest-Kings.	10
31	130	Where were they? I surmised the tunnels might have collapsed and they were even now trying to cut their way through to the Chamber of the Power Plant.	10
31	135	I climbed the walkway rapidly and soon could see Sarm clearly at the very top of the dome, whence he had once displayed to me the majesty of the Priest-Kings' accomplishments, where he had once indicated to me the modifications of the ganglionic net by means of which his people had won to the enormo...	10
31	223	I wondered if the hairs of the Golden Beetle, heavy with the droplets of that narcotic exudate, offered adequate recompense to a Priest-King for the ascetic millennia in which he might have pursued the mysteries of science, if they provided an acceptable culmination to one of those long, long lives ...	10
31	230	He stood thusly on the walkway at the top of the vast blue dome beneath which burned and hissed the power source of Priest-Kings.	10
32	28	Misk, carrying Sarm, and the other Priest-Kings and humans, including Vika and myself, made our way from the Power Plant and back toward the complex which had been the heart of Sarm's territory.	10
32	96	"It is unfortunate," said Al-Ka to me, "that the alternative power plant is not near completion".	10
32	98	"What alternative power plant?" I asked.	10
32	126	"The components in the disrupter might be realigned," he said, "but there is little likelihood that the power loop could be satisfactorily closed".	10
35	100	"If you should regain your power," I asked, "what do you propose to do with it? Will you still set forth the law in certain matters for men?" "Undoubtedly," said Misk.	10

5	63	One of the most striking features of these wagons is the wheels, which are huge, the back wheels having a diameter of about ten feet; the front wheels are, like those of the Conestoga wagon, slightly smaller, in this case, about eight feet in diameter; the larger rear wheels are more difficult to mi...	10
7	20	Beside him, coiled, perhaps as a symbol of power, lay a bosk whip.	10
7	210	There must be others—others, who did not wish me to succeed in my work, who wished Priest-Kings, the race, to die, others who were capable even of bringing humans from Earth for their purposes—technologically advanced—others who were, perhaps, cautiously, invisibly, at war with ...	10
7	220	Indeed their power, as I knew, was sufficient to destroy planets.	10
8	215	The bow, of course, small, for use from the saddle, lacks the range and power of the Gorean longbow or crossbow; still, at close range, with considerable force, firing rapidly, arrow after arrow, it is a fearsome weapon.	10
9	6	The official reason, proclaimed by Phanius Turmus, the Administrator, and others high in the government, was that those of the Wagon Peoples were unworthy to be entertained in the administrative palace; the real reason, apparently seldom proclaimed by anyone, was that the true power in Turia lay act...	10
9	53	"Do not object that we are entertained in the house of Saphrar of the Merchants," Kamchak had said, "for in Turia power lies with such men".	10
12	16	I had, however, inadvertently, learned the location of the golden sphere, and that Saphrar, a man of power in Turia, was also interested in obtaining it.	10
16	305	The Others—those of power, not Priest-Kings, must, to some extent, understand or sense the politics, the needs and policies of the remote denizens of the Sardar—they were probably not altogether unaware of the business of Priest-Kings, particularly not now, following the recent War of ...	10
16	314	The matter of the message collar had been a clever way of attempting to gain that end but, because of the shrewdness of Tuchuks, who seldom take anything at its face value, it had failed; they had then attempted to bring me down among the wagons with a Paravaci quiva, but that, too, had failed; I gr...	10
22	58	"Nonetheless," I said, "there is considerable power in the rank itself".	10
25	663	"Perhaps he fears her power, that she might ensnare him, wrapping him in her silken toils, perhaps transforming him into a begging slave?" "I think not," I said.	10
25	844	She did not move, and then suddenly I felt the cut of her nails deep in my arms, and though her lips were open, her teeth were clenched, her head was back, the eyes closed, her hair tangled under her and over her body, and then her eyes seemed surprised, startled, and her shoulders lifted a bit from...	10
26	90	I gathered that Saphrar, in the years he had built his power in Turia, had for his own purposes gathered such men about him, and now he would pay the price—with his own life.	10

3	36	They are men who commonly have an extraordinary aptitude for the game but beyond this men who have become drunk on it, men lost in the subtle, abstract liquors of variation, pattern and victory, men who live for the game, who want it and need it as other men might want gold, or others power and wome...	10
3	72	They believe, perhaps correctly, that man is a shrewish animal which, if it had the power, would be likely to fear Priest-Kings and attempt to exterminate them.	10
3	93	I gathered, from the blinding and the mark on his forehead, that the man had once offended a slaver, a man of power in the city.	10
4	87	We were confident that this attempt on my life, for that it seemed to be, had something to do with the Sardar, and the Priest-Kings, and the Others, not Priest-Kings, who desired this world of Priest-Kings and men, and, surreptitiously and cruelly, were fighting to obtain it, though as yet, perhaps ...	10

9	256	In the instant that our glances had met I had seen that she, whom I took as woman, would, if she had had the power, make men slaves, but in that same instant she had seen, in my eyes, that it was men who were the stronger, who held the power, and that it would be she, if any, who would be the slave.	10

8	537	There was only gold, and power, and the bodies of women, and steel.	10
9	67	Here they knew, and would acknowledge, the dark truths of human life, that, in the end, there was only gold, and power, and the bodies of women, and the steel of weapons.	10
9	100	Politically, Port Kar is chaos, ruled by several conflicting Ubars, each with his own following, each attempting to terrorize, to govern and tax to the extent of his power.	10
9	105	There is even, in Port Kar, a recognized caste of Thieves, the only such I know of on Gor, which, in the lower canals and perimeters of the city, has much power, that of the threat and the knife.	10
10	62	Lysias had been client to the house of Sevarius, it was said, for five years, a period coterminous with the regency of Claudius, who had assumed the power of the house following the assassination of Henrius Sevarius the Fourth.	10
10	79	I despised, I discovered, neither power nor wealth.	10
10	106	I think they feared her, because of the excellence of her work and because, behind her, stood the power of the house, its Captain, Bosk from the Marshes.	10
10	134	We then turned our attention to matters of greater importance, the need for more covered docks in the arsenal, beneath which additional galleys could be caulked for the grain fleet, else how could a hundred vessels be ready for the voyage north to the grain fields before the sixth passage hand? It i...	10
11	140	"It is the council," I said, "that is now the first power in Port Kar".	10
11	143	The power of the captains had been little diminished.	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.	10
11	155	To be sure, many of the ships of the Ubars were similarly at sea, but men pretending to the Ubarate of Port Kar commonly keep a far larger percentage of their power in port than would a common captain.	10
11	156	I expected the power of the four Ubars, Chung, Eteocles, Nigel and Sullius Maximus, might have been, at a stroke, diminished by a half.	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.	10
11	160	I had long felt that five Ubars in Port Kar, and the attendant anarchy resulting from this division of power, was politically insufferable, with its competition of extortions, taxes and decrees, but, more importantly, I felt that it jeopardized my own interests.	10
11	161	I intended, in Port Kar, to accumulate fortunes and power.	10
11	165	Accordingly I wished for the council to consolidate its power in the city.	10
11	166	It seemed that now, with the failure of the coup of Henrius Sevarius, and the diminishment of the power of the other Ubars, she might well do so.	10
11	193	The Ubars, it seemed, had not had their power halved, but it had been considerably reduced.	10
11	210	"In the streets men cry 'Power to the Council!'" "Excellent," I commented.	10
11	322	"His power is greater than any of yours!" he cried.	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".	10
11	361	"Power to the council," said Samos, bowing his head.	10
11	362	"Power to the council!" cried the men in the tiers.	10
11	364	"Power to the council!" I sat still in my curule chair, smiling.	10
11	367	"You will not shear us of our power!" he cried.	10
