2	94	I could now see as well, though separated by hundreds of yards, three other riders approaching.	10
2	137	As one man the four riders unstrapped their lances.	10
3	2	I might have thrown myself to the ground as the larl hunters from Ar, once their weapon is cast, covering myself with the shield; but then I would have been beneath the clawed paws of four squealing, snorting kaiila, while the riders jabbed at me with lances, off my feet, helpless.	10
3	5	At the last instant, the lances of four riders but a hand's breadth from my body, the enraged, thundering kaiila, hissing and squealing, at a touch of the control straps, arrested their fierce charge, stopping themselves, tearing into the deep turf with suddenly emergent claws.	10
3	13	The four riders exchanged glances and then, at a sign from the heavy Tuchuk, rode a bit away from me.	10
3	114	Then, slowly, the four riders began to walk their mounts about the lance, watching it, right hands free to seize it should it begin to fall.	10
3	117	I watched the lance tremble in the shaking earth, and saw the intentness of the riders as they watched its slightest movement.	10
3	120	Here and there I saw riders, darting about, all mounted on the swift, graceful kaiila.	10
3	127	Both of these claims are, of course, mistaken, and the Ubars of the Wagon Peoples know well each wagon and the number of branded beasts in the various herds; each herd is, incidentally, composed of several smaller herds, each watched over by its own riders.	10
5	2	Nearly were we run down by six riders on thundering kaiila who, riding for sport, raced past us wildly among the crowded, clustered wagons.	10
6	10	Now I could see down the wide, grassy lane, loping towards us, two kaiila and riders.	10
6	15	Kamchak stepped to the center of the grassy lane, lifting his hand, and the two riders, with their prize, reined in their mounts.	10
6	53	Kamchak looked in puzzlement at the riders, and they at him.	10
6	54	In Gorean, one of the riders said, "She is a barbarian.	10
6	72	One of the riders pointed to me, crying out to the crowd, excitedly.	10
6	179	"No, no, no!" Kamchak nodded to the two riders mounted on kaiila.	10
6	181	The two riders turned their kaiila and in a moment, moving rapidly, the girl running between them, had turned from the grassy lane and disappeared between the wagons.	10
7	133	Then, after some hours stumbling confused, terrified, hungry through the high, brown grass, she had seen two riders, mounted on swift, strange beasts.	10
8	41	The winter came fiercely down on the herds some days before expected, with its fierce snows and the long winds that sometimes have swept twenty-five hundred pasangs across the prairies; snow covered the grass, brittle and brown already, and the herds were split into a thousand fragments, each with i...	10
10	99	I laughed and wheeled the kaiila and raced from the place, leaving the riders of the ponderous tharlarion far behind.	10
10	224	Immediately the lances of the lines lowered and the hundreds of tharlarion, hissing and grunting, their riders shouting, the drums beating, began to bound rapidly towards us.	10
10	247	In a moment, to a thunder of kaiila paws on the turf, racing between the lines of stakes, scattering sand, there came a great number of riders, their black hair swirling behind them, who pulled up on their mounts, rearing and squealing, between the stakes, and leaped from the saddle to the sand, rel...	10
12	6	Even on my kaiila I was certain I could be outdistanced by numerous riders, each leading, in the Tuchuk fashion, a string of fresh mounts.	10
14	1	Tarnsmen Outside, as Kamchak and I bounded down the steps of the slave wagon, the darkness was filled with hurrying men, some with torches, and running kaiila, already with their riders.	10
14	6	During the day the rapid movements of these individually maneuverable units are dictated by bosk horn and movements of the standards; at night by the bosk horns and the war lanterns slung on high poles carried by riders.	10
14	30	There on a front pasangs in length, already the Thousands had nearly formed, and long lines of riders, few gaps in their ranks, waited, lance in hand, their eyes on the war lanterns.	10
15	7	Four times masses of tharlarion cavalry had charged forth from the city but each time the Hundreds withdrew before them until the charge had been enveloped in the swirling kaiila, and then its riders were brought down swiftly by the flashing arrows of the Tuchuks, riding in closely, almost to lance ...	10
15	8	Several times also, hosts of tharlarion had attempted to protect caravans leaving the city, or advanced to meet scheduled caravans approaching Turia, but each time in spite of this support, the swift, harrying, determined riders of the Tuchuks had forced the caravans to turn back, or man by man, bea...	10
19	20	"Their movements will undoubtedly be coordinated in the house of Saphrar—and some tarns and their riders, if only messengers or officers—will surely be available".	10
20	39	The roof of the tower, which might have been fortified with impaling spears and tarn wire, was now clear, to permit the descent of tarns and their riders.	10
21	258	Judging from the dust, its dimensions, its speed of approach, the riders, perhaps hundreds of them, the first wave, were riding in a narrow column, at full gallop.	10
21	315	In an instant another five and then another and another had repeated this maneuver and soon, sometimes with squealing of kaiila and dismounting of riders as one beast or another would be crowded between the gates and the others, a Hundred and then another Hundred had hurtled howling into the city, b...	10
21	320	The wine vendor and the potter were peeping fearfully from between the wheels at the riders thundering into the streets.	10
21	336	There were still riders pouring into the city.	10
23	46	In a few Ehn I had overtaken my Thousand and given the tarn over to five men, who would keep it until its wagon should, following the tracks of the riders, reach them.	10
23	79	It was the vengeance of the bosk and the frightened, maddened animals thundered into the Paravaci lines goring and trampling both kaiila and riders, and the Paravaci who could manage turned their animals and rode for their lives.	10
23	104	It was like a flood of kaiila and riders, weapons flourishing, that broke and piled against the wagons, the rear ranks pressing forward on those before them.	10
23	110	I issued orders swiftly and exhausted men poured from beneath and between the wagons to haul as many of the fallen kaiila and riders as possible from the wagons, that there might not be a wall of dying animals and men giving access to the height of our wagons.	10
23	111	Scarcely had we cleared the ground before the wagons when the Paravaci bosk horns sounded again and another wave of kaiila and riders, lances set, raced towards us.	10
23	126	We watched the milling of kaiila and riders in the distance, the movement of standards.	10
23	164	"No," said Hakimba, "we sent riders to Turia even as we left our own camp.	10
23	195	Each had exchanged riders who, from time to time, would report to their own camp from that of the other.	10
24	12	I knew that Kamchak was in constant touch, by means of riders, with the wagons of the Tuchuks, and so I did not speak with him of the looting of his wagon, nor of the fate of Aphris of Turia, nor did I deem it well to speak to him of Elizabeth Cardwell, for it seemed evident that he had sold her, an...	10
24	33	Yet it seemed to me true, for Turia was the main avenue of contact between the Wagon Peoples and the other cities of Gor, the gate through which trade goods flowed to the wilderness of grasses that was the land of the riders of the kaiila and the herders of bosk.	10
26	291	"It had to have been the Ubar of the Paravaci—for who else could have sent their riders against the Tuchuk wagons, who else could have promised a mercenary tarnsman half the bosk and gold and women and wagons of the Paravaci?" I was only dimly aware of their conversation.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
12	107	I noted that two of the tarns in this race were not of given factions, but were the property of private owners, not associated with the faction corporations; their riders, similarly, were not faction riders; the rider, incidentally, is quite as important as the bird, for an experienced rider often m...	10
13	227	Mip, for some reason, seemed to like me, and he spoke much during the evening, as we drank together, of the factions, of the organizations of the races, of the training of tarns and riders, of the hopes of the greens and the other factions, of given riders and given birds.	10
16	216	It is to the advantage of any given faction that there should be a small number of factions in competition and so the riders of an older faction, if unable to win themselves in given races, will often attempt to prevent a good race being flown by the riders of the new faction.	10
17	153	After each race Mip, in detail, would discuss my riding, making suggestions; before each race, he would explain to me what he knew of the habits of the riders and tarns I faced, which was almost invariably a great deal; he taught me to recognize for myself certain faults in other riders, certain exp...	10
22	270	"He was the greatest of the riders," said the crossbowman, looking down at the small, still figure of Mip, his arms still about the neck of the tarn, "the greatest of the riders".	10
3	22	The man who called out wore a robe of checkered red and yellow squares, and the game board, of similar squares, with ten ranks and ten files, giving a hundred squares, hung over his back; slung over his left shoulder, as a warrior wears a sword, was a leather bag containing the pieces, twenty to a s...	10
3	38	The odds are usually one to forty, one copper tarn disk against a forty-piece, sometimes against an eighty-piece, and sometimes the amateur who would play the master insists on further limitations, such as the option to three consecutive moves at a point in the game of his choice, or that the master...	10
12	99	The racing tarn, interestingly, is an extremely light bird; two men can lift one; even its beak is narrower and lighter than the beak of a common tarn or a war tarn; its wings are commonly broader and shorter than those of the other tarns, permitting a swifter takeoff and providing a capacity for ex...	10
12	377	I was approached twice by men who had small scrolls to sell, reputedly containing important information on forthcoming races, the tarns to be flown, their riders, their times recorded in previous races and such; I supposed this would be little more than what was publicly available on the large track...	10
13	219	About the walls, here and there, were lists and records, inked on narrow boards; there were also, here and there, hanging on the walls, some memorabilia, such as saddle rings and tarn harnesses, suitably labeled as to their origin; there were also representations of tarns and some drawings of famous...	10
15	80	Sometimes in the races, in pressing through the rings, fighting for position, riders used goads on one another, or tried to cut the safety or girth straps of others; more than one man had been stabbed as the birds, jammed at the corner rings, had fought for passage and position.	10
16	206	I did know, further, that a tarncot for the Steels had been established during Se'Var and riders had been hired.	10
16	213	Not only is it expensive to buy or rent tarncots, acquire racing tarns, hire riders and Tarn Keepers, and the entire staff required to maintain a faction organization, but there is a large track fee for new factions, during the first two probation years.	10
16	217	Further, it is common among older factions not to hire riders who have ridden for the new factions, though sometimes, in the case of a particularly excellent rider, this practice is waived.	10
17	146	The great bird he rode was no racing tarn but its size, its swiftness, its sureness, its incredible power and ferocity made it a terrible foe in the wars of the suspended rings; indeed, never had it lost; many of the other tarns of the Steels, as well, were not bred racing tarns, but war tarns, ridd...	10
22	120	The birds, some nine of them, only a few feet overhead and to one side, flashed past, wings cracking like whips, beaks extended, the riders hunched low in the saddles.	10
22	129	Again the furious passage of the tarns overhead was marked in the beating of wings, the cries of the riders, now the flash of tarn goads, the turbulence of the air slashed from their path driving against us.	10
22	138	He was followed by two brown racing tarns, their riders wearing the silk of the Blues and the Silvers.	10
22	204	Suddenly Green Ubar, in the flash of the wings and the cries of the riders passing him, righted himself and with a cry of rage and pain burst toward the rings, Mip sagging in the saddle.	10
22	360	I saw that he had been given another knife, a tarn knife, of the sort carried by riders.	10
22	376	I noted, to my surprise, that the padding on the rings had been removed by attendants, and replaced with bladelike edges, used not in races but in exhibitions of daring riding, stunts in effect, in which riders appear to court death at the rings.	10
22	378	The riders, with the exception of myself and Menicius of Port Kar, looked from one to the other warily, puzzled.	10
22	399	Some of the riders of the Steels, I recalled, seeing it among the belongings of Gladius of Cos, had jested with me about it, asking if it were a toy, or perhaps a training bow for a child; these men, of course, had never, on kaiilaback, and it is just as well for them, met Tuchuks.	10
22	427	I was certain their riders had had orders from the box of Cernus to see that I did not win; it would be difficult for a single tarn to block a ring, but two together might well manage; further, in not taking the lead immediately, which I believe I could have done, I hoped to postpone the entry into ...	10
22	456	I knew Mip had had something of this rare gift and did not suppose that others, skilled, veteran riders, would be completely without it.	10
22	499	He had also, like Menicius of Port Kar, and two of the other riders, raced in the eighth.	10

17	275	"You have, in the ten round ships," I said, "one hundred tarns, with riders".	10
17	320	I knew tarns had destroyed riders who had attempted to ride them out over Thassa from the shore.	10
17	358	Riders were climbing into the saddles.	10
17	381	And then, their fighters disembarked, the birds with their riders swept away, up into the black, vicious sleeting sky, to light the oily rags, one by one, in the clay flasks of tharlarion oil and hurl them, from the heights of the sky, down onto the decks of ships of Cos and Tyros.	10

4	434	"Riders!" I could see them now, more than a hundred of them, sweeping toward us over the crest of one of the hills, to my left, the east.	10
4	456	I saw, some hundred yards from the caravan, the riders reined up.	10
4	480	The riders were before us.	10
5	271	To be sure, I had seen, from time to time, over the past few days, riders, in small groups, scouting us.	10
5	458	I could see riders now.	10
7	46	On the trip to Nine Wells, in the company of Achmed; his father, Farouk; Shakar, captain of the Aretai; Hamid, his lieutenant, and a guard of fifteen riders, I had seen the stone, led to it by Achmed.	10
8	1	I Become the Guest of Hassan the Bandit I did not sleep as well as I might have that night, for, from time to time, clouds of riders, with bows and lances, swept through the streets of Nine Wells, returning from one sortie into the desert or another.	10
8	209	"Do the other riders share you?" I asked.	10
11	520	More riders, slashing, pressed by, below us.	10
11	561	I heard a flight of riders thunder by.	10
11	566	In moments the kaiila and their riders had vanished down the street.	10
11	570	Now another flight of the kaiila riders sped by beneath the roof.	10
11	575	Then, below, through the streets, in swirling purple and yellow burnooses, came eleven riders.	10
11	578	Several other riders, raiders, were with them, behind.	10
11	580	The leader of the eleven riders, in purple and yellow burnoose, stood in the stirrups, surveying the carnage.	10
11	586	He sped away, followed by a cloud of riders.	10
11	591	She was followed, swiftly, by the ten riders who had accompanied her, and several others of the raiders.	10
12	42	The female prisoners were ranged, in coffle, between two riders, one at the head and one at the foot of the chain.	10
13	22	Scarcely had Hassan and I, clad in the garments of guards, astride kaiila taken from the stables of Tarna's kasbah, emerged from the fortress's gate than, on the path to Red Rock, clouds of riders had swept before us.	10
13	25	On every side were riders, many with bows.	10
13	26	"We have been waiting for you," said one of the riders.	10
13	27	"Will it be necessary to kill the kaiila?" The riders were veiled in red.	10
13	46	Naked, bound, standing in the sand, tethered, surrounded by kaiila and riders, we looked up at the lofty walls of flaking plaster, the battlements flanking the great gate.	10
22	5	I sipped water, watching the two riders approach.	10
22	25	I might have encountered unfriendly riders.	10
22	29	If I met several riders I might, with the ring, escape, but I might, too, lose the stores.	10
22	33	It seemed not improbable to me that there might be a recognition signal, to be given by the approaching riders in the vicinity of the ship, to be answered by a countersignal, before they would bring the kaiila in.	10
22	40	I did not know how observant might be the riders.	10
22	46	"Water!" The riders stopped, a hundred yards from me.	10
22	111	It would not be necessary to follow the backtrail of the two riders who had approached the ship.	10
23	52	In the field below, or the plain, there might have been some ten thousand riders.	10
23	90	I threw the wretch's tether to one of the riders, one indicated by the man with whom I spoke.	10
23	102	More than two hundred years ago a wandering Tajuk had been rescued in the desert by Aretai riders, who had treated him well, and had given him water and a kaiila.	10
23	111	The Tajuk riders were forcing their way to the front of the lines, between the Zevar and the Arani.	10
23	137	"Yet they are given prominence in the left flank!" I could see a small group of riders hurrying from the Aretai center to their left flank.	10
23	139	I realized, however, as must have the hurrying riders, that this was not at all impossible.	10
23	145	One of the riders going to the left flank from the Aretai center was tied in his saddle.	10
23	160	There was still much disturbance on the left flank of the Aretai, hundreds of riders angrily milling about, Tajuks with Zevar and Arani mixed in.	10
23	163	I heard the drums change their beat; I saw the lines of riders ordering themselves; I saw pennons, the pennons of preparation, lifted; I assumed that when they lowered the pennons of the charge would be lifted on their lances, and then that the lances would drop, and with them the lance of every rid...	10
23	178	Riders, from both sides, moved their kaiila slowly toward the figure, their guards hanging behind them.	10
23	287	Behind us, behind Haroun and myself, who rode alone, we leading, strung out, were the long lines of riders, the gathered tribesmen of the Tahari.	10
24	12	Late in the afternoon, Ibn Saran, with four hundred riders, broke through our lines and fled northwest.	10
24	710	I saw men, riders, pouring out of the desert.	10
24	739	Riders streamed toward the Kasbah.	10
24	741	In a moment someone on the walls had seen the riders.	10
24	746	But to their horror riders were already within the yard, fighting with defenders.	10
24	750	Riders streamed in through the gate, and, too, men afoot, running over the sand.	10
24	765	"They will kill us all!" She had the instinctive fear of the girl of riders of the desert.	10
25	44	"By whom, Pasha," asked Suleiman, "if not by Kavars and not by Aretai, and not by these others, is the kasbah of Tarna invested?" "By a thousand lances, a thousand riders of the kaiila," said Haroun.	10
26	18	He was accompanied by twenty riders.	10
26	220	He was followed by a thousand riders.	10

3	18	To be sure, her wrists were tied behind her back, and on her throat, leading to riders on each side of her, were two rawhide tethers.	10
4	313	A few yards ahead of where we waited by the lodge there was a group of mounted kaiila riders.	10
7	579	"You met other riders," said Hci.	10
7	582	"Who were the other riders?" asked Hci.	10
7	587	There is no difficulty, of course, in distinguishing between boots of the sort common with white riders and moccasins, the almost universal footwear of the red savages.	10

22	96	Eleven riders passed.	10
23	6	It must be made swiftly enough for the carrying force of the small bow not to be dissipated; it must be made from a distance sufficient, given the spacing of the riders and the sound of the kaiila's paws, to cover the sound of the string.	10

28	3	Before the lines of the Yellow Knives, some three hundred yards away, to the west, riders rode back and forth, with feathered lances.	10

28	304	He was hit by the next rider, one of those in the succeeding wave, its riders staggered with those of the first.	10
28	310	The primary purpose of the staggering of the attack-wave riders is to bring a target which may have escaped from the attack lane of one rider almost immediately into the attack lane of another.	10

29	28	It would be a greater danger, presumably, for a girl to hide in a lodge where, perhaps being mistaken for a free person, she might be struck by arrows, the skins of the lodge cover perhaps being riddled from above by the swift, flighted riders.	10

42	72	I then, to my dismay, saw the five riders freeing their weapons.	10
42	77	If it was the feather of Wakanglisapa, then why should they not attempt to capture it, to secure its mighty medicine for themselves? The five riders then broke their formation by swerving to the side and began to circle, to build up momentum, and then, soon, they had brought their birds onto an atta...	10
42	86	The other four riders were somewhat behind him, on the left and right, top and bottom.	10
42	87	Whatever adjustment is made to meet the point rider will presumably provide at least one of the following, flanking riders with an exploitable advantage.	10
42	105	Almost at the same time the flanking riders had, in seeming terror, in disarray, their formation lost, burst like a star about me and then, frantically, on all sides of me, as though I might no longer be of interest to them, wheeled their tarns about and, like their leader, sped away.	10
42	141	"We will send riders to the Dust Legs, the Fleer and the Sleen".	10

43	428	Across the prairie I could see riders approaching, some four or five in the lead, and others, drawn out, behind them.	10
43	431	The lead riders, then, had stopped.	10

43	445	The riders were now again approaching.	10
43	453	The riders below had seen the approach of the tarn almost as soon as I had.	10
44	344	But a step behind him was the redoubtable Kahintokapa, of the Casmu, of the Yellow-Kaiila Riders.	10
44	451	Impaled and torn, pressed from behind, filling the air with hideous noises, they reared and twisted, throwing riders and biting and clawing at one another.	10
44	453	Riders slipped down among the animals, screaming.	10
44	455	Dozens of animals and many riders were forced from the trail, sliding and plummeting down the steep face of Council Rock.	10
44	464	Some riders near the barricade, halted in their charge, seeing the impossibility of advance under the current conditions, were trying to back their beasts from the barricade.	10
44	562	When the first fifty riders had passed the chosen point on the trail the second barricade, bristling, too, with stakes, on ropes, was lowered to the trail, shutting off the upper segment of the trail as effectively as a gate.	10
44	563	The first fifty riders, not realizing they were cut off, continued upward.	10
44	569	Some of the men afoot, with their weight, throwing it against the beasts, even forced the beasts and their riders from the trail.	10
44	657	In a few moments the riders bent eastward and began to circle our position.	10
46	159	These were fired by the men of our fourth group, suddenly appearing at the top of the escarpment, that which had handled our descent ropes, that under the command of Kahintokapa, of the Yellow-Kaiila Riders.	10
47	146	Below us, like birds springing wondrously from the snow, tarns and their riders emerged from the clouds, following us.	10
47	204	Five riders had done so, when it had appeared suddenly, unexpectedly, behind me, in the vicinity of a Yellow-Knife camp in which they had been sojourning, where we had captured the fifteen tarns.	10
47	205	The riders below, however, perhaps because of their numbers, or perhaps their leadership, or their confidence in their medicine, had not done so.	10
47	267	Then, too, within the cloud, I saw the other riders below me.	10
47	434	These would be the Dust Legs, the Sleen and Fleer, tribes to whom we had sent riders.	10
47	501	I could see riders, even, in the Yellow-Knife camp, below.	10
49	21	"Let the sentence be passed," said Kahintokapa, he of the Casmu Kaiila, he of the Yellow-Kaiila Riders.	10
54	8	He was a member of the Blue-Sky Riders.	10
