Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
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
3	95	I nodded, imagining a palace, empty save for one man sitting alone on his throne, clad in his robes of state, waiting for the angry people outside the gates to break through and work their wrath.	10
4	145	"Come forward, Tarl Cabot," said my father, and I stood before his throne of office, feeling the eyes of everyone in the chamber on me.	10
4	155	When they had finished, my father invested me with the arms which had lain before the throne.	10
8	32	The real purpose of the "sacrifice to the Priest-Kings" was probably to remove possible claimants to the throne of Ar and thereby strengthen their own political position.	10
11	61	I had noticed that there was among the crowd one tall, somber figure who sat alone on a high, wooden throne, surrounded by tarnsmen.	10
11	72	I could not forget the figure on the throne, he of the black helmet, and I thought perhaps that he had noticed me and had reacted.	10
12	69	The image of the treacherous, beautiful Talena, in her dancing silks, as she had lain in my arms, tormented me—she who would gladly give her kisses to the cold Pa-Kur for a place on the throne of Ar, she whose implacable hatred had sent me to this terrible death, not even permitting me the ho...	10
14	8	Before me, on a rough throne of piled rocks, sat Marlenus, his long hair over his shoulders, his great beard reaching almost to his sword belt.	10
14	27	He looked into my eyes for a long time, then leaned back against his rough throne.	10
14	131	Merchants must keep their friends on both sides of the fence, for who knows if Marlenus may not once more sit upon the throne of Ar?" I must have uttered a sound of joy, for Marlenus quickly placed his hand over my mouth.	10
15	200	"And Marlenus will not resume the throne of Ar," I said.	10
16	75	"How long will it last," I queried, "with Pa-Kur on the throne of Ar?" Kazrak seemed suddenly to darken with thought.	10
16	137	A girl sat within the cage, proudly, on a throne.	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

Book 2. (46 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
11	18	Beneath this mask, there was, on a high dais, a monumental throne of gold.	10
11	19	On the broad steps leading to the throne, there were curule chairs, on which sat, I supposed, members of the High Council of Tharna.	10
11	22	One such helmeted warrior stood near the foot of the throne.	10
11	24	On the throne itself there sat a woman, proud, lofty in haughty dignity, garbed regally in majestic robes of golden cloth, wearing a mask not of silver but of pure gold, carved like the others in the image of a beautiful woman.	10
11	27	The warrior at the foot of the throne removed his helmet.	10
11	50	From the curule chair beside the throne rose another woman, wearing an intricately wrought silver mask and magnificent robes of rich silver cloth.	10
11	93	There was a whimpering and a scuffling from behind me, and, to my astonishment, one of the guardsman of the palace, the tiny silver mask blazed across the left temple of his helmet, flung Ost, the conspirator, yoked and sniveling, to the foot of the throne.	10
11	130	"Of conspiracy against the throne of Tharna," said the Tatrix.	10
11	133	It is known you conspire against the throne".	10
11	136	In his quarters were found seditious documents, letters of instruction pertaining to the seizure of the throne, sacks of gold to be used in obtaining accomplices".	10
11	146	"What more do you know of this plot against the throne?" asked Lara of the sniveling Ost.	10
11	192	"Ost knew himself to be suspected of plotting against the throne".	10
11	202	There was even a slight sound of amusement from the silver-masked figures who sat upon the steps to the throne.	10
11	205	The Tatrix arose from her throne, and pointed her finger at the wretched conspirator.	10
11	216	After a time the Tatrix, who had resumed her throne, spoke.	10
11	221	For a moment I felt sorry for the golden creature before whose throne I knelt.	10
11	263	She ran up the steps and turned only when she stood at last before her throne.	10
12	52	"You conspired against the throne?" I asked.	10
13	36	I looked above the wall and saw, vested in her robes of gold, regal on a golden throne, she who alone might wear a golden mask, she who was First in Tharna—Lara, the Tatrix herself.	10
13	45	The golden scarf fluttered to the sands of the arena and the Tatrix resumed her throne, reclining upon its cushions.	10
13	65	The hand of the Tatrix lifted slightly, almost languorously, from the arm of her throne, and the race began.	10
13	91	The man with wrist straps circled us with the whip, his eye on the throne of the Tatrix.	10
14	206	In one instant that must have been the most terrifying in her life, the Tatrix stood alone, looking up, deserted by all, on the steps before her golden throne in the midst of tumbled cushions and trays of candies and sweetmeats.	10
15	24	I was one of those men, a tarnsman, who would prefer the saddle of one of those fierce, predatory titans to the throne of a Ubar.	10
15	179	Surely she would be more harmless in the Pleasure Gardens of a tarnsman than on the throne of Tharna.	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
20	26	The three moons were faint now, like pale white disks in the brightening sky, and the sun was half risen from the throne of the horizon.	10
23	46	"Return you to the throne of Tharna," I said.	10
23	154	"No," I said, "you fought for Dorna the Proud, pretender to the throne of Tharna—a usurper and traitress".	10
24	72	"I have come to place Lara once more on the throne of Tharna," I said.	10
24	76	"If she again ascends the throne, our battle will have been lost.	10
24	155	When at last I stood unslain on the black cobblestones at the foot of the double rampart I knew that though Dorna the Proud might rule in Tharna, though it might be she who sat upon the golden throne of the city, that it was the word of a warrior that ruled on those ramparts above me.	10
24	196	"He wanted to protect the secret of his plan to abduct the Tatrix and put Dorna the Proud upon her throne".	10
24	221	"You are Tai," said she, "a tarnsman, wounded in the war with Thentis in the year before I ascended the throne of Tharna".	10
24	260	Behind the golden throne of the Tatrix loomed the dull gold mask, fashioned in the image of a cold and beautiful woman, the reflection of the torches set in the walls flickering hideously on its polished surface.	10
24	261	On the throne there sat a woman clad in the golden robes and mask of the Tatrix of Tharna.	10
24	263	On the steps before the throne there stood a warrior, fully armed, who held in his hands the blue helmet of his city.	10
25	11	Seemingly almost impassive, the golden-robed figure on the throne watched the two warriors moving backward and forward before her, one clad in the blue helmet and gray tunic of Tharna, the other in the universal scarlet of the Gorean Caste of Warriors.	10
25	12	Our reflections fought one another in the shimmering surface of the great golden mask behind the throne.	10
25	22	I stepped back from the body and looked to the woman upon the throne.	10
25	23	Slowly, numbly, she descended the throne, step by step, and then to my amazement she fell to her knees beside Thorn and lowered her head to his bloody chest, weeping.	10
25	104	"Were you to stay and die at the foot of your throne we would follow you and die by your side," said the first warrior.	10
26	17	As she ascended once more the throne no proscription notices were posted but a general amnesty was granted to all, both those who had espoused her cause and those who had fought for Dorna the Proud.	10
26	28	I myself had stood at the foot of the steps to the golden throne when Lara had commanded that the giant mask of gold which hung behind it be pried by spears from the wall and cast to the floor at our feet.	10
26	29	No more would that cold serene visage survey the throne room of Tharna.	10
26	30	The men of Tharna watched almost in disbelief as the great mask loosened, bolt by bolt, from the wall, leaned forward and at last, dragged down by its own weight, broke loose and plunged clattering down the steps of the throne, breaking into a hundred pieces.	10

4	30	"For example, a cushion would not be out of place on such a throne, do you think, Cabot?" "On such a throne it would be out of place," I said.	10
4	19	In this great dome there was nothing save that at its very center there was a high dais and on this dais there was a large throne carved from a single block of stone.	10
4	25	Parp puffed his way up the nine steps of the dais and climbed onto the stone throne.	10
4	27	His sandaled feet did not reach to the floor, and he made a slight grimace as he settled himself on the throne.	10
4	32	Then, smartly, Parp cracked his pipe a few times against the side of the throne, scattering ashes and unsmoked tobacco about on the floor of the dais.	10
4	43	He had to turn slightly on the throne to look at me, as I had not chosen to stand directly where he had suggested.	10
4	48	Then he cleaned it as before, knocking it against the side of the throne, and refilled it.	10
4	49	He lit it again with the small, silverish object, and leaned back against the throne.	10
4	60	I lifted the spear and my eyes which must have been terrible in the apertures of my helmet were fixed on the heart of the man who sat upon the throne.	10
4	78	I now understood the purpose of the tiled circle which surrounded the throne.	10
4	84	Parp laughed merrily, his small round frame shaking on the heavy throne.	10
4	112	Parp seemed to shiver on the throne.	10
4	121	I wondered why I had been allowed to reach the Sardar, to find the Hall of Priest-Kings, to stand before this throne.	10
4	127	He pounded it once sharply against the throne and thrust it into the wallet he wore at his side.	10
4	137	With a cry of terror Parp cast one last wild glance about the Hall of Priest-Kings and stumbled behind the great throne.	10
4	140	Wary of the tiled circle I traced its perimeter until I stood behind the throne.	10
4	142	I walked the full ambit of the circle until I stood once more before the throne.	10
4	149	* * * * I examined the throne and found no trace of a door behind it, but I knew that one must exist.	10
4	155	Then seized by an impulse I sat myself down on the great throne in the Hall of Priest-Kings, drew my sword and placed it across my knees.	10
7	63	The empty throne loomed silent and awesome.	10
32	217	I walked before the throne of Priest-Kings.	10
32	219	I looked up and saw Parp, puffing on his pipe, sitting calmly on the throne.	10
32	238	In a bound, almost like a small balloon, he floated up, and twisting about, reseated himself in the throne.	10
32	239	He pounded on the arms once and the movement almost thrust him up off the throne.	10
32	241	"To sit once more upon the throne of Priest-Kings," said Parp, chuckling.	10
32	273	The throne tilted and then fell back into place again.	10
32	289	Hurriedly Parp knocked the ashes and sparks from his pipe against the arm of the throne.	10
34	160	That was possible, I thought, for Marlenus, since his deposition from the throne of Ar, had lived as an Outlaw Ubar in the Voltai.	10

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
22	104	At one end of the room, on the throne of the Ubar, a purple robe thrown over his black leather, sat dour Kamchak of the Tuchuks, his shield and lance leaning against the throne, an unsheathed quiva on the right arm of the throne.	10
5	99	"That robe," said Kamchak, "which is the throne of the Ubars of the Tuchuks".	10
7	18	It was undoubtedly that of which Kamchak had spoken, the robe upon which sits the Ubar of the Tuchuks, that simple robe which is his throne.	10
22	103	Directed by Tuchuks we soon made our way to the throne room of Phanius Turmus, where, to my surprise, a banquet was in progress.	10
22	124	But Kamchak was looking away disconsolately toward the rug before the throne, now stained with spilled beverages, cluttered with the thrown garbage of the feast.	10
22	158	Kamchak stood before the throne of Phanius Turmus, the purple robe of the Ubar over one shoulder, and looked at the overturned tables, the spilled cups, the remains of the feast.	10
22	159	Only he, Harold and I remained in the great throne room.	10
27	14	In the palace of Phanius Turmus, on his throne, sat Kamchak, the purple of the Ubar's robes thrown casually over one shoulder, over his Tuchuk leather.	10
27	15	He did not now sit dourly as before, stern and lost in thought, but attended to the details of his business with good humor, stopping only now and then to throw scraps of meat to his kaiila, which was tethered behind the throne.	10
27	16	As a matter of course various goods and riches were heaped about his throne, and among them, as part of the booty, there knelt some of the most beautiful of Turia's maidens, clad only in the Sirik, but at his right knee, unchained and clad Kajir, there knelt Aphris of Turia.	10
27	17	About his throne as well there stood his commanders, and some leaders of Hundreds, many with their women.	10
27	20	As fellow after fellow, men of importance in Turia, were dragged before his throne, in the Kes and chained, Kamchak would say to them, "Your goods and your women are mine.	10
27	23	At last Phanius Turmus and Kamras were pulled before the throne and thrust to their knees.	10
27	35	Rather he arose from his throne and placed the stone in the chained hands of Phanius Turmus.	10
27	51	Conrad, Hakimba and the Paravaci strode to the throne of Kamchak, but none of them, as befitted Ubars of their peoples, knelt.	10
27	150	As he turned to leave the throne room of Phanius Turmus, to return to the wagons, Aphris lightly rose to her feet to accompany him.	10
27	171	Kamchak turned abruptly from her striding to his kaiila, which had been tethered behind the throne.	10
27	173	Then, not pressing the animal, he took his way from the throne room.	10
27	174	The rest of us followed him, with the exception of Aphris who remained, stricken, standing beside the throne of the Ubar, clad perhaps Kajir, but now uncollared, now free.	10

Book 5. (33 results) Assassin of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
2	6	The city had fallen and Pa-Kur, though of low caste, had aspired to inherit the imperial mantle of Marlenus, had dared to lift his eyes to the throne of Empire and place about his neck the golden medallion of a Ubar, a thing forbidden to such as he in the myths of the Counter-Earth.	10
5	503	My return to the city was affecting, for here it was that my sword had been pledged to a Gorean Home Stone; here it was that I had trained in arms and learned Gorean; it was here that I had met my father, after long years of separation; it was here that I had made dear friends, the Older Tarl, Maste...	10
7	32	"So even the equanimity of an Assassin can be shaken! Yes, the Ubar of a city, and you may choose the city, any save Ar, on whose throne I, Cernus, will sit".	10
12	24	Flanked by two guards, in the red of Warriors, I could see the throne of the Administrator, on which, intent, leaning forward, sat the member of the Hinrabian family who now stood highest in Ar.	10
12	25	Nearby, but lofty, as though disinterested, on a throne of white marble, but between two Warriors as well, sat the High Initiate.	10
12	30	I could see him a few feet behind the throne, wrapped in a scarlet cloak, a tall, spare man, long-armed and narrow-faced, whose head moved restlessly, surveying the crowd.	10
12	41	The Administrator leaned forward even more on his throne.	10
12	47	I looked to the area of the Administrator and saw the Hinrabian disgustedly turning away, dictating something to a scribe, who sat cross-legged near the throne, a sheaf of record papers in his hand.	10
12	68	"But," said the man glumly, "what can you expect with a Hinrabian on the throne of the Ubar".	10
12	69	"On the throne of the Administrator," said I, not turning about.	10
12	385	"Perhaps you did not enjoy the races?" It was the voice of the man who had sat behind me in the tiers, before I had changed my seat to avoid recognition by the small fool Hup, he who had spoken poorly of the Hinrabian on the throne of Ar, and who had purchased a candy from the fool.	10
13	26	Further, abducting a wench from the Hinrabians, if a rather arrogant gesture, would not have brought Marlenus closer to the throne of Ar, nor would it have much hurt the city.	10
13	27	If Marlenus had wished to strike the Hinrabians he presumably would have flown his tarn to the central cylinder itself and cut his way to the throne of the Administrator.	10
13	189	'" "Would you like to see him once more upon the throne?" I asked.	10
16	14	It perhaps need only be added that now being a Warrior, and thus of High Caste, he was now eligible for a seat on the High Council of the city, and even for the throne itself, whether it be that of Administrator or Ubar.	10
17	170	"I say," said the disguised guard, "Ar could do worse than have such a man as Cernus on the throne!" To my amazement, several about the table, who were undoubtedly common citizens of Ar, began to nod their heads.	10
17	230	I saw in his elevation a portion of the plan of Others being unfolded; with one of their own on the throne of Ar, they would have a remarkable base in Ar for the advancement of their schemes, in particular the influencing of men, the recruitment of partisans in their cause; as Misk had pointed out, ...	10
22	124	Some seventy or eighty yards away I saw the box of the Ubar and, upon the throne of the Ubar, Cernus, of the House of Cernus, in the imperial purple of the Ubar.	10
22	150	The fists of Cernus were white, clenched on the arms of the Ubar's throne.	10
22	412	Clutching the arms of his throne, he was staring at me, dumbfounded.	10
22	603	The man then ascended to the box of the Ubar, where he set his helmet on the arm of the throne.	10
22	605	His sword across his knees, he took his seat on the throne.	10
24	15	"With Marlenus on the throne," I said, "Ar will be dangerous".	10
24	99	The cause of Priest-Kings had been advanced; the restoration of Marlenus to the throne of Ar had been accomplished.	10
24	148	Soon we had emerged in the great domed chamber set with lights and stones in which, on a high, stepped dais, sits the marble throne of the Ubar of Ar.	10
24	152	On the throne itself, in the purple robes of the Ubar, regal, magnificent, sat Marlenus, Ubar of Ar, Ubar of Ubars.	10
24	166	I saw Flaminius, at one point, standing before the throne of the Ubar.	10
24	187	When she had reached the tiles before the throne of the Ubar, she knelt, head down.	10
24	289	There, before the throne of the Ubar, stood, in the brief livery of the state slave of Ar, two girls.	10
24	345	"Beast!" "Do you wish this slave?" asked Marlenus, from the throne.	10
24	382	I strode forward to the place before the throne.	10
24	419	Had it been that his eye had glanced upon her and he had, by the prerogative of the Ubar, commanded her to his slave ring? But was this honor? My hatred for the Ubar of Ar, whom I had helped restore to his throne, welled up within me, volcanic, molten and black.	10
24	460	I helped him to regain his throne.	10

3	16	"So," said Ho-Hak, regarding me, "you are on your way to Port Kar?" He sat upon a giant shell of the Vosk sorp, as on a sort of throne, which, for these people, I gather it was.	10
3	19	My ankles had been unbound only long enough to push me stumbling from the rush craft, among the shouting women and men and children, to the throne of Ho-Hak.	10
3	190	Ho-Hak once again sat down on the curved shell of the great Vosk sorp, that shell that served him as throne in this his domain, an island of rence in the delta of the Vosk.	10
3	262	I found I desperately wanted the respect of this calm, strong man, he most of all, he once a slave, who sat before me on the throne, that shell of the giant Vosk sorp.	10
8	345	As I, in the chair of the oar-master, faced the bow of the vessel, he, as slave at the benches, faced its stern, and the chair of the oar-master, that which now served me as Ubar's throne, in this small wooden country lost in the marshes of the Vosk's delta.	10
8	528	I was Ubar here, but I found the throne a bitter one.	10
10	12	Beside each empty throne there was a stool from which a Scribe, speaking in the name of his Ubar, participated in the proceedings of the council.	10
11	9	And I saw, too, that the Scribe who normally sat his attendance at the right arm of the empty throne of Henrius Sevarius, the Fifth, in the council chamber was gone.	10
11	323	And then he spun about to face the Ubars, each, with men about him, on his throne.	10
13	11	I recalled standing before the thrones, in the towering throne room of Cos.	10
13	22	I looked from her to the corpulent, sagging Lurius of Jad, Ubar of Cos, who, like a great bag of meat, slouched swollen between the arms of his throne.	10
13	35	"Your surmise is correct," said Chenbar, who had now sat again upon his throne.	10
13	47	Lurius settled himself, breathing heavily, again in his throne.	10
13	75	Lurius, furious, returned to his throne.	10
13	213	"Take him away," cried Lurius, leaning forward in the throne, fists clenched upon its arms.	10
13	217	I was spun about and dragged stumbling from the high throne room of Cos.	10
13	307	Slowly the ship, like a sweet, fat bird, heavy and stately, began to move toward the opening between the two high, round towers that guard the entrance to the walled harbor of Telnus, capital city of the island of Cos, seat of its Ubar's throne.	10
13	512	By the end of the second month the flag of Bosk, carried by one ship or another, was known from Ianda to Torvaldsland, and from the delta of the Vosk to the throne rooms of Cos and Tyros.	10

2	35	I looked at the cold, haughty, pale face of the High Initiate on his throne.	10
2	57	I could sense the triumph of the High Initiate on his throne, though his cold face betrayed little sign of his victory.	10
2	58	Now Initiates to one side of the sanctuary, opposite the throne of the High Initiate, began to chant the litanies of the Priest-Kings.	10

32	1	The Throne Room The throne room in the palace at Argentum was now cool and dark.	10
33	517	The last garment, for example, was undoubtedly really that which had been taken from me in the throne room of Corcyrus, before the very throne itself, before I had been taken naked and in chains outside, into the courtyard, to be placed in a golden cage.	10
5	1	Miles of Argentum; Drusus Rencius Speculates on What I Might Bring as a Slave; I Have Obtained Greater Freedoms "The arrogant knave now approaching the throne," said Ligurious, whispering in my ear, "is Miles, an ambassador, and general, from Argentum".	10
5	2	The fellow, approaching, coming up the long aisle toward the great dais, on which my throne reposed, had indeed a bold stride.	10
5	15	I did not wish to commit any blunders which might reflect adversely on the throne.	10
5	19	I straightened myself on the great throne of Corcyrus, on the high dais, in the great hall of the palace.	10
5	23	About the throne, here and there, spilled on the steps of the dais, in the manner of Corcyrus and some other cities, was a tasteful display of riches, rich cloths, golden coins and some chained female slaves.	10
5	24	Susan, who was to me as my personal serving slave, kneeling, in a brief, white, see-through lace tunic, was chained on my right, her chain, fastened on her neck, running to a ring on the throne.	10
5	28	"The throne of Corcyrus," said Ligurious, "greets the ambassador from Argentum, Miles, general of Argentum".	10
5	32	"Beware the quickness of your tongue," said Ligurious, "for you rant now not in one of Argentum's taverns but in Corcyrus, and before the throne of her Tatrix".	10
5	42	Miles did not budge, nor flinch, at the foot of the throne.	10
5	69	"Yet," smiled Ligurious, "it seems that men with you have brought chests, bound with bands of iron, and intricately wrought coffers, to the foot of our throne".	10
5	104	I clenched my fists on the arms of the throne.	10
5	113	His eyes rested then, fully, upon Susan, kneeling, chained by the neck to the side of my throne.	10
5	190	Those about the throne, most of them, began to take their leave.	10
5	210	She shrank back, cowering beside the throne.	10
5	221	"Thank you, Mistress," said Susan to me, kneeling beside the throne, "for not having me whipped".	10
5	235	I remembered the sight of the silver tarsk from Argentum, in the hand of Miles of Argentum, and the way it had looked, on the soft carpeting of the dais, on one of the broad steps leading up to the throne.	10
12	1	I Sit upon the Throne; I Wait in the Hall "Dress her in her most regal robes," commanded Ligurious.	10
12	59	Ligurious turned me, so that I faced the door to the great hall, where, on the lofty dais, reposed the throne of Corcyrus.	10
12	89	At his indication I took my place on the throne.	10
12	129	I sat on the throne, clutching its arms, alone in the great hall.	10
13	1	The Golden Cage; Miles of Argentum Speaks with Me The great beam cracked, and then splintered, and the doors burst in at the far end of the aisle, leading towards the throne.	10
13	2	I clutched the arms of the throne in terror.	10
13	10	I shrank back, on the throne.	10
13	27	He approached the throne.	10
13	54	He indicated that she might kneel before the throne.	10
13	92	Drusus Rencius handed his helmet to a soldier and climbed then to the height of the throne.	10
13	93	He put out his hands and lifted me to my feet before the throne.	10
13	111	It was torn from me, before the very throne.	10
13	119	The central chain, where it dangled down from the wrist rings, lay on the floor before the throne, before it looped up to where it was closed about a central link of the ankle-ring chain.	10
13	123	Two guards then held me, one by each arm, before the throne.	10
13	129	My feet must have been some six or seven inches from the floor before the throne.	10
17	31	How far I was from the department store, from my apartment, from my world! And how far, too, I found myself from the luxury, the display, the ceremony and glory, the spectacle, of mysterious Corcyrus; how far from the corridors of a guarded palace, from the resplendent, cumbersome pomp of state robe...	10
29	93	"Kassim, the rebel pretender to the throne of Tor, whom my animals tore to pieces, was no slave," said Hassan.	10
31	217	The angle would be similar to that which he had had from the floor of the great hall, or from the lower steps of the dais, looking up at me on the throne.	10
31	551	Even now, for his amusement, he kept her for several Ahn a day in that sack, suspended, tied shut, in the throne room, while business was conducted.	10
31	555	He could not remember me that clearly, I hoped, from his appearance before me in the great hall, when I had sat upon the throne, or from the time when he had had me locked, naked, a captive, in a golden cage.	10
32	4	I walked barefoot on the tiles to the vicinity of the dais and throne.	10
32	22	A girl had told me that I was to report to the throne room.	10
32	48	I was then turned about and put on my back before my captor, on the tiles at the foot of the dais on which reposed the throne of Argentum.	10
32	250	I saw him, for example, enter the throne room, and saw you enter later.	10
32	251	I then, later, saw him leaving the throne room with the other woman, she whom, after he left his quarters, I took the liberty of replacing in the sack where she belongs.	10
33	132	He could not very well inform the assemblage of the exchange he had attempted to effect earlier in the throne room.	10
33	195	"That is she who was on the throne.	10
33	342	"Is the woman whom you believed to be the Tatrix of Corcyrus, and whom you testified in Corcyrus was the Tatrix, before the very throne itself, in this room?" Drusus Rencius was silent.	10
33	364	"Is she whom you believed to be the Tatrix of Corcyrus, she whom you identified as the Tatrix in Corcyrus itself, before the very throne of Corcyrus, in this room?" "Yes," said Drusus Rencius.	10
33	373	That woman is not the Tatrix! She sat upon the throne! She appeared in public as the Tatrix! She sat in court as the Tatrix! She conducted business as the Tatrix! She was known as the Tatrix! But she was not the Tatrix!" "Let us not ignore the evidence," said Miles of Argentum.	10
33	518	These garments, Ligurious had informed me in the throne room of Argentum, before placing me in the golden sack, from which I had been rescued by Drusus Rencius, had been smuggled out of Corcyrus.	10
33	806	I grew soon fond of the throne.	10
33	834	The slave on my right, she who was brought to Gor as my double, was left behind on the throne, to be captured and, in my place, bear the wrath of the enemy.	10
34	211	There was indeed a minor purpose for which you were brought to Gor, that purpose which I called to your attention in the throne room, here in Argentum, that purpose which you now, you little she-sleen, obviously wish to hear explicitly reiterated".	10
35	124	How I had disappointed him! How far I had fallen short of his expectations, of his hopes, of his ideal of womanhood! I did not deserve honor, prestige, respect, dignity, freedom, a throne! I was only a slut.	10

19	258	After the defeat and deposition of Cernus, so briefly a ubar, I had seen both Saphronicus and Seremides in chains before Marlenus, then again upon the throne.	10

17	137	Before the throne of the victorious general, kneeling, in her tiara, fully clothed, but chained, had been placed the Tatrix.	10
17	190	I recalled in particular the lofty Tatrix on her throne, in the beginning of the frieze, and later, the procession of those who came suing for peace, bearing conciliatory gifts, animals, riches, women and such.	10

5	62	When Marlenus had regained the throne he had freed her from a bondage to which Cernus, his foe, who had replaced Minus Tentius Hinrabius on the throne, had seen that she was reduced.	10
9	584	Sometimes the defeated administrator or ubar is forced to witness such a banquet, from a throne, clad in his robes of state, a throne set just below that of his conqueror.	10
3	251	"Let his daughter then, Talena, take the throne," said another.	10
3	255	"How is it then that her candidacy for the throne is taken seriously in the city?" asked a man.	10
3	269	"I think it will be Talena," said a man, "who will sit upon the throne of Ar".	10
3	271	"That is surely what they would wish, that a female should sit upon the throne of Ar".	10
5	77	This was, in its way, presenting a title to the throne.	10
7	416	Surely she was of more use to the party of treachery, in which she doubtless stood high, and to the Cosians, on the throne of Ar than as merely another woman, naked and in chains, gracing a conqueror's triumph.	10
8	108	It was now some two months since the entry of Myron into the city and the subsequent triumph of Lurius of Jad, celebrated a day later in his name by Myron, the polemarkos, in which triumph he, Myron, acting as proxy for Lurius of Jad, was joined by Seremides and Talena, and several weeks after the a...	10

1	143	And there was a Ubara in Ar, if only a Cosian puppet on the throne, Talena, a traitress to her Home Stone, Talena, once the daughter of the great Ubar, Marlenus of Ar, whose whereabouts, as far as I knew, were unknown.	10
2	293	On the throne of Ar sits an arrogant puppet Ubara, a traitress to her Home Stone, a woman named Talena, a hypocrite and villainess, a female once the daughter, until disowned, of the great Marlenus of Ar himself".	10
5	481	Could they not heed the plaints of refugees, hear the drums of spearmen, sense the ponderous tread of war tharlarion? It soon became clear to many that conspiracy and treachery reigned within the Central Cylinder, and that the throne itself might now be festooned with the promises and wealth of the ...	10
5	553	What an insult, profound and grievous, was this to his blood, and to the throne of Ar! He thus disowned her as his daughter, and had had her sequestered in the Central Cylinder, that her shame might be concealed from the city and the world.	10
5	590	I feared then for Talena, arrogant traitress, puppet Ubara, occupant of the throne on the sufferance of invaders, sullier of her Home Stone.	10
5	682	"It is only a matter of time," said a fellow, "until she is thrown, naked and in chains, to the tiles at the foot of the Ubar's throne".	10
5	689	And these fellows, I thought, were the very fellows from whom she might have hoped succor, for it had been blades such as theirs which had placed her upon, and protected her upon, the usurped throne of Ar.	10
10	57	It seemed clear that neither was, so to speak, a Ubara, who would have shared a throne with a Ubar, if not his power.	10
10	62	Similarly, slaves might be displayed about the foot of a Ubar's throne, stripped and chained.	10
13	228	"The Serisii were high in Ar," I said, "close to the throne.	10
13	266	Her position had been bestowed upon her by foreign enemies, who had found it expedient to have a puppet on the throne of Ar.	10
13	310	Imagine she, a Ubara, in a collar! What state would be powerful enough, clever enough, bold enough, to seize a Ubara? What Ubar mighty enough to have her naked, in chains, at the foot of his throne! It was strange, incomprehensible, the change that had come over her.	10
25	38	If one did labor so, handicapped with a conscience, I suspected it likely that others, not so slowed, not so burdened, would be before him, be first to seize the scepter, sit upon the throne, and place about their necks the medallion of the Ubar.	10
26	260	Interestingly you did not hurry her surreptitiously from the city, as one might have supposed you would have done, but left her in the Metellan district, where she had been embonded, to be discovered, that she might then, though now a slave, continue her tenure upon the throne of Ar, as her fellow c...	10
28	335	I gathered that the Ubara had not yet been brought before the throne of a Ubar's justice.	10
28	393	Later, at the first opportunity, escaping her sequestration in the Central Cylinder of Ar where she, disowned by her father, had been confined in dishonor, having begged to be purchased, a slave's act, in the northern forests, she had betrayed her Home Stone, conspiring with the forces of Cos and Ty...	10
28	396	How fitting that I had had her trapped and embonded in the Metellan district, then arranging that she should be returned to the throne of Ar, though knowing herself, so secretly, as then a slave.	10
28	398	What hubris that a slave should dare to don the garments of a free woman, let alone take a place on a Ubara's throne!

18	165	There is less risk then of another suspecting something, and bringing her stripped and shackled before the throne of Marlenus".	10
21	54	It is a very beautiful mark, enhancing a slave's beauty, and, as such, it is likely to mark not only the least of slaves but the highest of slaves, not only a pot girl or a kettle-and-mat girl but the pampered pets chained to the side of a Ubar's throne.	10
24	295	Yet she had sat upon the throne, presided on public occasions, issued the decrees prescribed, and made the appointments recommended.	10
24	310	Who is to assess the complementarities, and mysteries, of such matters? A woman who is a pot girl to one fellow may be a dream to another, worthy of a diamond collar and a chain at the foot of a Ubar's throne.	10
24	313	She who had worn the medallion of power in Ar now passed me, far from the city, far from her flatterers and servitors, far from the throne, merely another slave, wrist-shackled, tunicked, and barefoot.	10
