10
13 66 A lesser protection and control of the salt, though a not unformidable one, lies in the policing of the desert by the Salt Ubar, or the Guard of the Dunes.

13 67 The support of the kasbah of the Salt Ubar comes from fees supplied by high salt merchants, the measure of which fees, of course, they include in their wholesale pricings to lesser distributors.

13 71 Some caravans, of course, journey through from the distant points to the salt districts, accepting the danger and inconvenience of trekking the dune country, but thereby avoiding the higher charges of picking up salt from the storehouses in the local oases.

13 63 Salt is a trading commodity par excellence.

13 64 There are areas on Gor where salt serves as a currency, being weighed and exchanged much as precious metals.

13 69 For example, caravans between Red Rock, and certain other oases, and the salt districts, will travel under an escort of the Guard of the Dunes.

13 355 Neither Samos nor myself, however, though we had heard of the Salt Ubar, had known his name.
Details
10
13 359 I might have behaved differently in the Tahari had I earlier known the name of the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
13 363 "We have other plans for our friend," said the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
13 365 "Have you long been known as Abdul?" I asked the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
13 371 Only you are less wise than I, for you do not serve upon that side which will taste the salt of victory".
Details
10
13 451 I gathered that the lovely Vella, the former Miss Elizabeth Cardwell, though not of the Tahari, and only of Earth, must indeed be a high slave in the kasbah of Abdul, the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
13 491 We were turned about and taken from the audience hall of the Guard of the Dunes, Abdul, the Salt Ubar, he who was Ibn Saran.
Details
10
14 4 The chain on my neck jerked forward and I stumbled in the salt crusts.
Details
10
14 17 More than two hundred and fifty men had been originally in the salt chain.
Details
10
14 20 To be a salt slave, it is said, one must be strong.
Details
10
14 23 These had been fastened on us at the foot of the wall of the kasbah of the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
14 29 Rocks on the desert, and the sheer walls of the Salt Ubar's kasbah, looming above us, shone with dew, common in the Tahari in the early morning, to be burned off in the first hour of the sun.
Details
10
14 32 An excellent tool had the Salt Ubar characterized her.
Details
10
14 34 The Salt Ubar had speculated that he would enjoy better fortune in this respect.
Details
10
14 78 "You will be only a salt slave," she said.
Details
10
14 87 "Salt slave!" she cried.
Details
10
14 97 Salt slaves, in the Tahari, are among the lowest of the male slaves.
Details
10
14 109 "Salt slave!" she said.
Details
10
14 195 The chance of their finding their way back to the kasbah of the Salt Ubar, and thence, say, to Red Rock, would be small, even if they were not hooded; hooded, on the Klima march, of course, the chance, unhooded, of finding their way back at a later time would be negligible.
Details
10
14 198 Mercifully, the hood tended to protect the head from the sun; one does not go bareheaded in the desert; secondly, the darkness of the hood, when the salt crusts were reached, prevented blindness, from the reflection of the Tahari sun off the layered, bleak, white surfaces.
Details
10
14 301 I stood below her in the chain of salt slaves.
Details
10
14 441 The salt clung to my body.
Details
10
14 453 A kaiila moved swiftly past me, its paws scattering salt.
Details
10
14 510 No longer did I object to the salt in my flesh, the heat.
Details
10
14 528 The lock contained sand and salt.
Details
10
14 538 I felt the blood and salt in the split shreds of the leather wrappings on my legs.
Details
10
14 552 "Take salt," said a voice.
Details
10
14 554 "Take salt," he said.
Details
10
14 555 He fell to his knees, and thrust his face into the salt.
Details
10
14 559 We had not had salt in four days.
Details
10
14 630 In the distance, below, perhaps five pasangs away, in the hot, concave, white salt bleakness, like a vast, white, shallow bowl, pasangs wide, there were compounds, low, white buildings of mud brick, plastered.
Details
10
14 642 There was salt on us, to our thighs.
Details
10
14 645 In the last days we had been denied salt.
Details
10
14 659 We came upon a figure, fallen in the salt.
Details
10
14 660 It was he who had run ahead, who had cried out, disbelievingly, joyously, "I have made the march to Klima!" We turned the body over in the salt.
Details
10
14 664 I looked back once, to see Hamid, he who was in the fee of the Guard of the Dunes, the Salt Ubar, who was supposedly the faithful lieutenant to Shakar, captain of the Aretai.
Details
10
14 665 He turned his kaiila, and, with a scattering of salt, following the others, disappeared over the crest.
Details
10
14 680 Then I followed Hassan, who had trudged on ahead, wading in the salt, following him toward Klima.
Details
10
15 1 T'zshal At Klima, and other such areas, salt is an industry.
Details
10
15 4 These food stores are delivered to scouted areas some pasangs from the compounds, whence they are retrieved later by salt slaves.
Details
10
15 13 It may be that, in remote times, an arm of Thassa extended here, or did extend here and then, later, in seismic dislocations or continental drift, became isolated from the parent body of water, leaving behind one or more smaller salt seas.
Details
10
15 14 Or it may be that the seas were independent, being fed by rivers, washing down accumulated salt from rocks over millions of square pasangs.
Details
10
15 17 Klima, among the salt districts, is most famous for its brine pits.
Details
10
15 18 Salt can be found in solid form either above or below ground.
Details
10
15 19 With the subsidence of the sea and the shifting of strata, certain cubic pasangs of salt, in certain areas, became pressed into granitelike formations, through which one may actually tunnel.
Details
10
15 23 In places these salt mountains are more than six hundred feet high.
Details
10
15 24 At Klima, however, most of the salt is in solution.
Details
10
15 26 The salt in solution is obtained in two ways, by drilling and flush mining and, in the deeper pits, by sending men below to fetch the brine.
Details
10
15 28 In the double-pipe system fresh water is forced into the cavity through an outer pipe and the heavier solution of salt and water rises bubbling through the second pipe, or inner pipe, inserted within the larger.
Details
10
15 30 The separate-pipe system is, by most salt masters, regarded as the most efficient.
Details
10
15 33 But much of the salt at Klima comes from its famous brine pits.
Details
10
15 37 It is dragged through the sludge and lifted, the free water running from the vessel, leaving within the sludge of salt, thence to be poured into the retaining vessels, huge, wooden tubs.
Details
10
15 41 The same underground seepage which, in places, fills the brine pits, in other places, passing through salt-free strata, provides Klima with its fresh water.
Details
10
15 42 It has a salty taste like much of the water of the Tahari but it is completely drinkable, not having been filtered through the salt accumulations.
Details
10
15 43 It contains only the salt normal in Tahari drinking water.
Details
10
15 45 Salt, of course, like water, is essential to life.
Details
10
15 49 One can permit profuse perspiration only where one has ample water and salt.
Details
10
15 50 Besides the mines and pits of the salt districts, there are warehouses and offices, in which complicated records are kept, and from which shipments to the isolated, desert storage areas are arranged.
Details
10
15 51 There are also processing areas where the salt is freed of water and refined to various degrees of quality, through a complicated system of racks and pans, generally exposed to the sun.
Details
10
15 53 There are also the molding sheds where the salt is pressed into the large cylinders, such that they may be roped together and eventually be laden on pack kaiila.
Details
10
15 54 The salt is divided into nine qualities.
Details
10
15 55 Each cylinder is marked with its quality, the name of its district, and the sign of that district's salt master.
Details
10
15 56 Needless to say, Klima contains as well, incidental to the salt industry centered there, the ancillary supports of these mining and manufacturing endeavors, such as its kitchens and commissaries, its kennels and eating sheds, its discipline pits, its assembly areas, its smithies and shops, its quart...
Details
10
15 146 "All here," said he, "my pretties, are slaves of the salt, slaves of the desert.
Details
10
15 147 We dig salt for the free; we are fed".
Details
10
15 148 "Even the salt master?" asked Hassan.
Details
10
15 152 The salt delivered, the outsiders do not disturb us.
Details
10
15 158 "Yes, as have all, even the salt master himself," said T'Zshal.
Details
10
15 162 We knew, generally, Red Rock, the kasbah of the Salt Ubar and such, lay northwest of Klima, but, unless one knows the exact direction, the trails, this information is largely useless.
Details
10
15 167 Moreover, to protect the secrecy of the salt districts, the trails to them were not openly or publicly marked.
Details
10
15 168 This was a precaution to maintain the salt monopolies of the Tahari, as though the desert itself would not have been sufficient in this respect.
Details
10
16 23 Each raft contains a low frame, within which are placed the retaining vessels, large, wooden salt tubs, each approximately a yard in height and four feet in diameter.
Details
10
16 30 The retaining vessels are, at the salt docks, lifted from the rafts by means of pulleys and counterweights.
Details
10
16 43 I had expected them to be sterile bodies of water, from the absence of sunlight, precluding basic photosynthesis and the beginning of a food chain, and the high salt content of the fluid.
Details
10
16 58 Lelts are often attracted to the salt rafts, largely by the vibrations in the water, picked up by their abnormally developed lateral-line protrusions, and their fernlike cranial vibration receptors, from the cones and poles.
Details
10
16 123 At the top of the food chain in the pits, a descendant, dark-adapted, of the terrors of the ancient seas, stood the long-bodied, nine-gilled salt shark.
Details
10
16 125 "Let us gather salt," said a man.
Details
10
16 131 "Gather salt," said the steersman.
Details
10
16 132 Again we took our ropes and cones, and bent to the labor of dredging for salt.
Details
10
16 136 Then he said, "Gather salt".
Details
10
16 142 Even if one could secure water, it did not seem one could, afoot, carry water sufficient to walk one's way free of the salt districts.
Details
10
16 158 Because of the saline content of the water the salt shark, when not hunting, often swims half emerged from the fluid.
Details
10
16 160 This is a salt adaptation which conserves energy, which, otherwise, might be constantly expended in maintaining an attitude in which oxygenation can occur.
Details
10
16 176 Further, I wondered at the salt shark, blind, living in total darkness.
Details
10
16 190 We, in the darkness, felt the salt water drench us, heard the great body, more than twenty feet long, fall back in the water.
Details
10
16 195 We clung in the darkness to the retaining vessels, the salt tubs.
Details
10
16 205 I heard splintering wood, the retaining vessels, the salt tubs, struck and shattered, flung bounding and rolling from the frame.
Details
10
17 6 Even in the shadow of Klima's Keep itself, the squarish, stout, fortresslike building which houses the weaponry, domicile and office of the Salt Master himself, did we recruit our crew.
Details
10
17 17 Far into the pit, distant from the salt docks, we slowed the raft, and steadied it with the long poles, holding it as nearly as we could in place.
Details
10
17 24 He had then lain down, behind the frame within which the salt tubs are stored, aft, and had slept.
Details
10
17 26 "Will you not use poison on the blade?" had asked a man at the salt dock.
Details
10
17 35 He may, if he choose, stake out, or whip or slay a man who fails his quota of gathered salt, or strikes a fellow, administering fierce, dread discipline as the whim may seize him, and yet, should he himself be slain, his slayer is not punished, but accedes to his authority and, in his place, becomes...
Details
10
17 62 Some salt slaves eat the lelt, raw, taken from the water, or gleaned from their harvesting vessels.
Details
10
17 67 I suppose, in the salt pit, one of our small lamps might seem to those who had in their lives known only darkness like the glory of a thousand suns.
Details
10
17 103 He cannot be easy with the men, of course, for he himself is subject to the sanctions of his superiors, in particular in connection with the salt quotas imposed upon his kennel.
Details
10
17 129 He then laid the lance over the tops of two of the large retaining vessels, the salt tubs, on the raft.
Details
10
17 179 If the lamps were lost, and the torches unlit, I did not think it likely we would return to the salt dock.
Details
10
17 183 "Hold to the salt tubs," said T'Zshal.
Details
10
17 206 It caught the man's leg between itself and the salt tub, breaking the leg, turning it suddenly oddly inward below the knee.
Details
10
17 210 "Stand within the frame of the salt tubs".
Details
10
17 261 It dove, and rubbed itself, twisting, in the salt at the bottom of the pit.
Details
10
17 266 Then the beast swept upward and I, clinging to the fin, erupted with it, eyes and nostrils stung with salt, half blinded, more than ten feet into the air.
Details
10
17 276 The fish leaped again from the water and I had the dagger free, plunging it, ripping, into the gill tissue below its jaw, one of the salt-adaptations of marine life in the pit.
Details
10
17 296 The carcass lay in the water, whitish, buoyed by the salt.
Details
10
17 307 There was salt on my hands, blood.
Details
10
17 319 "We have shared salt," I said.
Details
10
17 338 "Return to the salt docks," I said.
Details
10
18 6 "I am the Salt Master," said T'Zshal.
Details
10
18 136 It contained dried fruit, biscuits, salt.
Details
10
18 144 "I wish you well," said I, "T'Zshal, Salt Master of Klima".
Details
10
18 147 From the place in the salt crusts, where I had hidden it, I took the faded, cracked bit of silk that had been thrust in my collar on the march to Klima.
Details
10
18 156 Then together, under the Gorean moons, through the salt crusts, we began the trek from Klima.
Details
10
19 88 Furthermore, between Klima and Red Rock lay the regions patrolled by the men of Abdul, the Salt Ubar, who had been known to me as Ibn Saran.
Details
10
19 99 A consequence of Hassan's plan was that we were actually moving, generally, south and west of Klima, in short, for a time, deeper into the most desolate, untraveled portions of the dune country, far even from the salt routes.
Details
10
21 166 But on the march to Klima I had had water, salt.
Details
10
21 217 I tasted sand, and salt.
Details
10
21 233 Now again, from his mouth and lips, and body, he scraped salt.
Details
10
21 236 He had given me, it seemed an inexplicable gift, water and salt from his own body.
Details
10
21 239 You have given me the water and salt from your own body.
Details
10
22 8 As I had surmised, there was contact between the ship and the nearest agents of Kurii, the men of Abdul, Ibn Saran, the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
22 66 They were truly agents of Kurii, minions of Ibn Saran, Abdul, the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
23 9 I then revived him with water and salt.
Details
10
23 239 "The minion of Abdul, the Salt Ubar," said the man.
Details
10
24 1 I Bind a Girl, Reserving Her for Myself; I Then Address Myself to the Duties of Steel The outcome of the battle, some twenty pasangs from the kasbah of the Salt Ubar, had never been in doubt.
Details
10
24 7 There was hard fighting, however, in the vicinity of Ibn Saran's own men, those of the Salt Ubar and his allies, those who had fought with Tarna.
Details
10
24 508 "Ibn Saran," she said, "the master of the very kasbah itself, the Salt Ubar, the Guard of the Dunes, is my master!" "No," I said.
Details
10
24 668 I wore garments of the men of the Salt Ubar, taken from a prisoner.
Details
10
24 974 I threw aside the robes of the man of the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
25 18 I did not detect, among the prisoners or the fallen, the small Abdul, the water carrier and henchman of the great Abdul, Ibn Saran, the Salt Ubar, nor Hamid, traitor to the Aretai, who had struck Suleiman Pasha.
Details
10
25 19 Haroun spun about, his burnoose swirling, and, angrily, leaped to the dais of the Salt Ubar, and strode upon it, like a frustrated larl.
Details
10
25 93 We had shared salt at Red Rock, on a burning roof.
Details
10
25 103 Hamid, whatever might be his guilt in the matter of the striking of Suleiman Pasha, had obviously fought with the men of the Salt Ubar, and had raised his blade against his own tribe, the Aretai.
Details
10
26 14 The sun was now striking the east wall of what had been the kasbah of Abdul, Ibn Saran, who had been the Salt Ubar.
Details
10
26 33 The sun was now full on the east wall of what had been the kasbah of Abdul, Ibn Saran, the Salt Ubar.

Details
10
26 186 "The Salt Ubar is gone," I said.
Details
10
26 187 "We will negotiate with local pashas and regulate the desert, and discuss the prices of the varieties of salt," said T'Zshal.
Details
10
26 188 "The price of salt will soon rise," I suggested.
Details
10
26 194 The slaves of the salt will ride".
Details
10
26 207 "With the control of much salt," I said, "you may have much what you wish".
Details
10
26 208 "We shall confederate the salt districts," said T'Zshal.
Details
10
26 216 He was a slave, true, but of no man, only of the salt, and the desert.
Details
10
26 1179 "Perhaps he who sent the message assumed that the information of the agents of Priest-Kings was sufficient to identify Ibn Saran with Abdul, the Salt Ubar, or, at least, to link him with that villain".
Details
10
26 1231 I saw the two kasbahs, which had been those of Abdul, Ibn Saran, the Salt Ubar, Guard of the Dunes, and Tarna, once a proud desert chieftainess.
