| 10 | 263 |
The theoretical justification of the games of Love War, from the Turian point of view, is that they provide an excellent arena in which to demonstrate the fierceness and prowess of Turian warriors, thus perhaps intimidating or, at the very least, encouraging the often overbold warriors of the Wagon ... |
10 |
| 8 | 34 |
Indeed, even the chains and collars of slave girls, worn often by captive Turian girls themselves, are of Turian origin. |
10 |
| 8 | 243 |
The problem of the young man, and perhaps the reason that he had not yet won even the Courage Scar of the Tuchuks, was that he had fallen into the hands of Turian raiders in his youth and had spent several years in the city; in his adolescence he had, at great risk to himself, escaped from the city ... |
10 |
| 10 | 264 |
The secret justification, I suspect, however, is that the Turian warrior is fond of meeting the enemy and acquiring his women, particularly should they be striking little beasts, like Hereena of the First Wagon, as untamed and savage as they are beautiful; it is regarded as a great sport among Turia... |
10 |
| 10 | 562 |
Each time the Turian struck and I would have thought Kamchak slain, somehow, incomprehensibly, at the last instant, nearly causing my heart to stop, with a surprised, weary little twitch, the blade of the Tuchuk would slide the Turian steel harmlessly to the side. |
10 |
| 12 | 170 |
It was a worn, stained Turian camisk, doubtless one that had been worn by one of the Turian maidens acquired in Love War. |
10 |
| 15 | 90 |
Once he pounded the rug on the polished floor in front of him and cried out angrily, as though to remind himself of some significant and inalterable fact, "She is Turian! Turian!" The work of the wagon was done by Tuka and another girl, whom Kamchak hired for the purpose. |
10 |
| 26 | 99 |
And following him, among the warriors, were several Turian slaves, clad in chains and the Kes, among them Kamras, Champion of Turia, and Phanius Turmus, the Turian Ubar, all of whom carried large pans filled with sacks of gold. |
10 |
| 5 | 24 |
She wore the Turian collar, rather than the common slave collar. |
10 |
| 5 | 25 |
The Turian collar lies loosely on the girl, a round ring; it fits so loosely that, when grasped in a man's fist, the girl can turn within it; the common Gorean collar, on the other hand, is a flat, snugly fitting steel band. |
10 |
| 5 | 27 |
The Turian collar is more difficult to engrave, but it, like the flat collar, will bear some legend assuring that the girl, if found, will be promptly returned to her master. |
10 |
| 5 | 29 |
"She is Turian?" I asked. |
10 |
| 5 | 37 |
"Turian girls are proud," said Kamchak. |
10 |
| 6 | 92 |
There was a murmur of approval from the crowd; even some of the enslaved Turian beauties, in spite of themselves, cried out in admiration. |
10 |
| 7 | 13 |
There were also, among the other goods, two girls, blonde and blue-eyed, unclothed, chained; they had perhaps been a gift to Kutaituchik; or had been the daughters of enemies; they might have been from any city; both were beautiful; one was sitting with her knees tucked under her chin, her hands cla... |
10 |
| 7 | 14 |
At the edge of the dais Kamchak and I had stopped, where our sandals were removed and our feet washed by Turian slaves, men in the Kes, who might once have been officers of the city. |
10 |
| 7 | 72 |
During all this time, and torches had been brought, the hours of the night being burned away, Elizabeth Cardwell was not permitted to move, but must needs retain the position of the Pleasure Slave, knees properly placed, back straight, head high, the gleaming chain of the Sirik dangling from the Tur... |
10 |
| 7 | 144 |
"The collar," said Kamchak, "is Turian". |
10 |
| 7 | 147 |
But how was it that Elizabeth Cardwell, of Earth, wore a Turian message collar? Kamchak drew the quiva from his belt and approached the girl. |
10 |
| 7 | 201 |
"Do you think Priest-Kings would use a Turian message collar?" He pointed his broad finger at Elizabeth Cardwell. |
10 |
| 8 | 53 |
The Wintering was not unpleasant, although, even so far north, the days and nights were often quite chilly; the Wagon Peoples, and their slaves as well, wore boskhide and furs during this time; both male and female, slave or free, wore furred boots and trousers, coats and the flopping, ear-flapped c... |
10 |
| 8 | 80 |
Of course, Kamchak had rented three Turian girls, slaves, to train her; they had done so, binding her wrists and leading her about the wagons, teaching her the words for things, beating her with switches when she made mistakes; Elizabeth had learned quickly. |
10 |
| 8 | 108 |
I supposed that on the morrow Kamchak would call for the Tuchuk Iron Master, to brand what he called his little barbarian; the brand of the Tuchuk slave, incidentally, is not the same as that generally used in the cities, which, for girls, is the first letter of the expression Kajira in cursive scri... |
10 |
| 8 | 141 |
Moreover, he did not brand her, nor fix in her nose the tiny golden ring of the Tuchuk women, nor did he even, incomprehensibly, put her in the Turian collar. |
10 |
| 8 | 187 |
The other girls were both Turian. |
10 |
| 8 | 226 |
Turian warriors, he told me, enjoy such women, the wild girls of the Wagons. |
10 |
| 8 | 234 |
"Turian slave!" she laughed scornfully. |
10 |
| 8 | 244 |
His parents and people had been slain in the Turian raid in which he had been captured, so he had no kin. |
10 |
| 8 | 264 |
I saw a flash of copper, perhaps a tarn disk from one of the distant cities, and one of the warrior's girls, an attractive Turian wench, Tuka, began to remove her fur. |
10 |
| 8 | 342 |
"Well done," said Albrecht, her master, adding with a grin, "—for a Turian slave". |
10 |
| 8 | 359 |
One of the best among the wagons I had heard was a Kassar slave, a swift Turian wench whose name was Dina. |
10 |
| 8 | 410 |
Then, to my surprise, she looked at me boldly, though wearing the Turian collar; though she wore the nose ring; though she were only a branded slave clad Kajir. |
10 |
| 8 | 437 |
"You are not a Kassar girl—you are only a Turian slave of Kassars". |
10 |
| 8 | 461 |
But he had not; the fine little Turian wench who had been able to bite the neck of the kaiila, thereby risking her life incidentally, had seen to that. |
10 |
| 8 | 463 |
Even the Turian girl, Dina, perhaps the best slave among all the wagons in this sport, was laughing, hanging on the stirrup of Albrecht, looking up at him. |
10 |
| 9 | 64 |
The Turian feast usually consumes the better part of a night and can have as many as a hundred and fifty courses. |
10 |
| 9 | 72 |
Turian embassies to the Wagon Peoples, when they occurred, naturally strove to equal or surpass these gifts. |
10 |
| 9 | 93 |
Among the Wagons, clad in a brief bit of cord and leather, branded, wearing nose ring and Turian collar, could be found many of the beauties of Turia. |
10 |
| 9 | 94 |
Indeed, to the annoyance of Elizabeth Cardwell, who had spent her nights under the wagon in the last weeks, there were two such in our own wagon, the girl Dina, whom I had snared in the contests of the bola, and her companion, the fine wench who had bitten the neck of Kamchak's kaiila and had attemp... |
10 |
| 9 | 113 |
A Turian sitting a few feet from me noted that I had partaken of the libation. |
10 |
| 9 | 126 |
The women in bondage present, who served us, each wore four golden rings on each ankle and each wrist, locked on, which clashed as they walked or moved, adding their sound to the slave bells that had been fixed on their Turian collars, and that hung from their hair; the ears of each, too, had been p... |
10 |
| 9 | 127 |
The single garment of these women was the Turian camisk. |
10 |
| 9 | 131 |
The Turian camisk, on the other hand, if it were to be laid out on the floor, would appear somewhat like an inverted "T" in which the bar of the "T" would be beveled on each side. |
10 |
| 9 | 133 |
The Turian camisk, unlike the common camisk, will cover a girl's brand; on the other hand, unlike the common camisk, it leaves the back uncovered and can be tied, and is, snugly, the better to disclose the girl's beauty. |
10 |
| 9 | 136 |
In any event, women in a camisk, whether a common camisk or a Turian camisk, well know themselves slave. |
10 |
| 9 | 173 |
Saphrar was not related to the girl, but had been appointed by the Turian merchants, on whom he undoubtedly exercised considerable influence, the guardian of the girl following the death of her father in a Paravaci caravan raid several years before. |
10 |
| 9 | 254 |
"Bring perfumes!" she called to the Feast Steward, and he sent forth a camisk-clad slave who carried a tiny tray of exotic Turian perfumes. |
10 |
| 9 | 302 |
No Tuchuk, I knew, cares to be the butt of a joke, especially a Turian joke. |
10 |
| 9 | 304 |
Then he took his goblet of paga and drained it, watching the girls swaying to the caress of Turian melodies. |
10 |
| 9 | 328 |
I heard the sound of slave bells attached to ankle rings, to locked wrist bracelets, to Turian collars. |
10 |
| 9 | 360 |
It was then clear to me why the Turian men so hungered for the wenches of the Wagon Peoples. |
10 |
| 9 | 415 |
But it was a round metal ring, a Turian collar, the collar of a slave. |
10 |
| 10 | 26 |
"Is it your wish," she asked, "that I run for the city?" She referred to a cruel sport of the young men of the wagons who sometimes take Turian slave girls to the sight of Turia's walls and then, loosening bola and thong, bid them run for the city. |
10 |
| 10 | 59 |
"Turian girls are never freed," she said. |
10 |
| 10 | 117 |
I think it was then, perhaps the first time since her first coming to the Wagon Peoples, that she fully understood her plight—for Kamchak had, on the whole, been kind to her—he had not put the Tuchuk ring in her nose, nor had he clothed her Kajir, nor put the brand of the bosk horns on... |
10 |
| 10 | 196 |
I heard some musicians, come out early from Turia, playing a light tune behind the Turian stakes, about fifty yards or so away. |
10 |
| 10 | 235 |
"It is a Turian joke," said Kamchak. |
10 |
| 10 | 258 |
"Hah!" said Kamchak, seeing now the lines of tharlarion part for a space of perhaps forty yards, through which could be seen the screened palanquins of Turian damsels, some on the shoulders of chained slaves, among them undoubtedly men of the Wagon Peoples. |
10 |
| 10 | 265 |
It might also be mentioned that the Turian warrior, in his opinion, too seldom encounters the warrior of the Wagon Peoples, who tends to be a frustrating, swift and elusive foe, striking with great rapidity and withdrawing with goods and captives almost before it is understood what has occurred. |
10 |
| 10 | 284 |
The Turian wench was beautiful indeed, that she could stand at the first stake. |
10 |
| 10 | 288 |
In this way the Turian girls can see their city and their warriors, and the girls of the Wagons can see the plains and the warriors of the Wagon Peoples. |
10 |
| 10 | 290 |
Thus, to interfere, a Turian would have to cross the space between the stakes, and so, too, would one of the Wagon Peoples, thus clearly calling themselves to the attention of the judges, those officials supervising the games. |
10 |
| 10 | 305 |
I supposed, in spite of their apparent lack of concern, the hearts of most of the Turian girls were beating rapidly. |
10 |
| 10 | 308 |
Yet I knew that beneath those Robes of Concealment many wore the shameful Turian camisk, perhaps the only time the hated garment would touch their bodies, for should their warrior lose this match they knew they would not be permitted to leave the stake in the robes in which they came. |
10 |
| 10 | 349 |
All along the lines of stakes I saw Turian warriors and those of the Wagon Peoples press into the area between the stakes. |
10 |
| 10 | 351 |
Turian warriors walked along the line of stakes, examining them, stepping back when one spit or kicked at him. |
10 |
| 10 | 353 |
At the request of any warrior of the Wagon Peoples, a judge would remove the pins of the face veil of a Turian girl and push back the hood of her Robes of Concealment, in order that her head and face might be seen. |
10 |
| 10 | 354 |
This aspect of the games was extremely humiliating for the Turian girls, but they understood its necessity; few men, especially barbarian warriors, care to fight for a woman on whose face they have not even looked. |
10 |
| 10 | 377 |
But he and I, before we finished, had looked over each of the Turian beauties. |
10 |
| 10 | 413 |
I had seen Conrad about, but he had picked out a Turian wench to fight for some six or seven stakes away. |
10 |
| 10 | 421 |
"Look at the Turian wench!" cried the girl. |
10 |
| 10 | 435 |
He wore a helmet and carried the Turian shield, which is oval. |
10 |
| 10 | 444 |
Unfortunately for Kamchak, I knew that this was the year in which the Turian foeman might propose the weapon of combat. |
10 |
| 10 | 448 |
The Turian's decision plunged me into despair. |
10 |
| 10 | 456 |
Incidentally, Turian warriors, in order to have the opportunity to slay a foe, as well as acquire his woman, customarily choose as the weapon of combat in these encounters, buckler and dagger, ax and buckler, dagger and whip, ax and net, or the two daggers, with the reservation that the quiva, if us... |
10 |
| 11 | 100 |
He then led the numb, unresisting Turian maiden to his kaiila. |
10 |
| 11 | 118 |
Slave girls ran beside us, jeering at Kamchak's tethered prize; free women looked up from their ladles and kettles to stare with jaundiced eye at yet another Turian woman brought to the camp. |
10 |
| 11 | 174 |
This year, as it turned out, the Wagon Peoples had done exceedingly well in the games of Love War—a bit of news we picked up with the paga—and about seventy percent of the Turian maidens had been led slave from the stakes to which they had been manacled. |
10 |
| 11 | 177 |
We also heard that the wench Hereena, of the First Wagon, had been won by a Turian officer representing the house of Saphrar of the Merchants, to whom, for a fee, he presented her. |
10 |
| 11 | 182 |
It was too bad, I thought, but at least I supposed there would be one fellow among the wagons, the young man Harold, he whom the girl had so abused, he who had not yet won the Courage Scar, who would be just as pleased as not that she, with all her contempt and spleen, was now delightfully salted aw... |
10 |
| 11 | 260 |
"Who, may I ask," asked Aphris, "were Tenchika and Dina?" "Slaves, Turian wenches," said Kamchak. |
10 |
| 11 | 269 |
At this the Turian maiden trembled slightly, and looked down. |
10 |
| 11 | 341 |
She threw back her hand with the knife to rush forward and thrust it into the heart of Kamchak but the coil of the whip lashed forth and I saw its stinging tip wrap four times about the wrist and forearm of the Turian girl who cried out in sudden pain and Kamchak had stepped to the side and with a m... |
10 |
| 11 | 365 |
"For a Turian slave," he added. |
10 |
| 12 | 57 |
Aphris of Turia wore bells and collar, about her neck the Turian collar hung with bells, about each wrist and ankle, locked, a double row of bells. |
10 |
| 12 | 161 |
"Well," said Kamchak, "what is it that a Turian wench would crave of her master?" "Nothing," said Aphris. |
10 |
| 12 | 190 |
"I will show you how to wear a camisk," said Kamchak, taking the cord and adjusting it with two or three pulls and jerks that just about took the wind out of the Turian girl. |
10 |
| 12 | 198 |
"For a Turian slave," added Kamchak. |
10 |
| 12 | 199 |
"Of course," she laughed, "for a Turian slave!" "We will be late for the performance," said Elizabeth, "if we do not hurry". |
10 |
| 12 | 407 |
He pushed up her head and then, with a click that could be heard throughout the enclosure, closed the collar—a Turian collar—about her throat. |
10 |
| 12 | 416 |
She turned within the collar, as the Turian collar is designed to permit. |
10 |
| 12 | 422 |
At last his fist was within the Turian collar itself and he drew the girl, piteous and exhausted, to his lips, subduing her with his kiss, and then her arms were about his neck and unresisting, obedient, her head to his chest, she was lifted lightly in his arms and carried from the firelight. |
10 |
| 12 | 501 |
He had, however, I knew, recently won a Turian girl in the games. |
10 |
| 13 | 142 |
Among the animals I saw many verr; some domestic tarsks, their tusks sheathed; cages of flapping vulos, some sleen, some kaiila, even some bosk; by the Paravaci haruspexes I saw manacled male slaves, if such were to be permitted; commonly, I understood from Kamchak, the Tuchuks, Kassars and Kataii r... |
10 |
| 13 | 185 |
The Iron Master affixed the Turian collar. |
10 |
| 14 | 24 |
The wagons, in Turian raids, are burned. |
10 |
| 15 | 62 |
She was Turian. |
10 |
| 15 | 64 |
He unlocked the door and ordered the Turian maiden forth, commanding her to stand before him, head down. |
10 |
| 15 | 69 |
"Because you are Turian," he said. |
10 |
| 15 | 94 |
She seemed to leave the distressed, red-eyed Aphris of Turia alone, perhaps because she was Turian, perhaps because she had no grievance against her. |
10 |
| 15 | 131 |
"That is interesting," said Harold, "for I had thought I might try chain luck in the Pleasure Gardens of a Turian merchant named Saphrar". |
10 |
| 15 | 135 |
"They are poison teeth," remarked Harold, "a Turian affectation—but quite deadly, being filled with the venom of the ost". |
10 |
| 16 | 71 |
The Turian wells, incidentally, have no raised wall, but are, save for a rim of about two inches in height, flat with the level. |
10 |
| 16 | 129 |
* * * * Harold and I had been fastened in a Turian slave bar, a metal bar with a collar at each end and, behind the collar, manacles which fasten the prisoner's hands behind his neck. |
10 |
| 16 | 250 |
It was a Turian saying. |
10 |
| 19 | 94 |
She wore yellow Pleasure Silk, and, beneath her long black hair, on her throat, I glimpsed a silverish Turian collar. |
10 |
| 19 | 127 |
"You are only a little Turian slave girl," said Harold, "who has taken my fancy". |
10 |
| 20 | 116 |
"Is he Turian?" "I had hoped to find Ho-bar," said Harold, "but perhaps you will do". |
10 |
| 21 | 140 |
This pleased her, as I guessed anything would which was contrary to the interests of the Turian merchant, for whom she entertained the greatest hatred. |
10 |
| 21 | 172 |
Indeed, the broad walk, some thirty feet wide, within the high walls of Turia, with the view over the plains, is a favorite promenade of Turian couples. |
10 |
| 21 | 285 |
My Turian foe took the short sword under the heart. |
10 |
| 21 | 355 |
Another wall, on the other side of the avenue, tumbled downward, two Turian warriors leaping from it, being ridden down by Tuchuks, leaping over the burning debris on kaiilaback, lance in hand. |
10 |
| 22 | 14 |
I had no wish to be brought down with a Tuchuk arrow in the streets as a Turian civilian. |
10 |
| 22 | 19 |
When I lifted my head from the fountain in the Turian street Harold cried out in amazement, "Why you ARE Tarl Cabot!" "Yes," I had responded. |
10 |
| 22 | 32 |
I then wished to proceed immediately to the palace of Phanius Turmus, where Kamchak had set up his headquarters, to place myself at his disposal, but Harold insisted rather on trooping about the city, here and there examining pockets of Turian resistance. |
10 |
| 22 | 43 |
"Turian women," said Harold, "taken by Tuchuks". |
10 |
| 22 | 67 |
Some Gorean coins are drilled, incidentally, to allow stringing, the coins of Tharna, for example; Turian coins, and most others, are not. |
10 |
| 22 | 74 |
Here I saw, along one wall, a long line of Turian women, unclothed, who were kneeling, fastened together in various ways, some by chains, some by thongs. |
10 |
| 22 | 115 |
Before them had been placed large golden dishes heaped with delicacies prepared by the kitchens of the Ubar, tall precious goblets filled with Turian wines, the small bowls of spices and sugars with their stirring spoons at hand. |
10 |
| 22 | 116 |
The tables were served by naked Turian girls, from the highest families of the city. |
10 |
| 22 | 140 |
At one point three Tuchuk girls, in swirling silks, switches in their hands, came into the room dragging a wretched, stripped Turian girl. |
10 |
| 22 | 142 |
"She was our mistress!" cried one of the Tuchuk girls leading the Turian girl, and struck her sharply with the switch, at which information the Tuchuk girls at the tables clapped their hands with delight. |
10 |
| 22 | 148 |
One beautiful Turian girl was thrown, weeping and bound, into the arms of a leather-clad Tuchuk for only seven copper tarn disks. |
10 |
| 22 | 151 |
He gestured at the captive Turian men. |
10 |
| 23 | 122 |
Free women, and even some Turian slave girls, went to and fro, bringing water and, here and there, where there was point in it, binding wounds. |
10 |
| 23 | 217 |
There was a brass ladle that Aphris and Elizabeth had used in cooking and a tin box of yellow Turian sugar, dented in now and its contents scattered; and the large, gray leathery object which I had upon occasion seen Kamchak use as a stool, that which he had once kicked across the floor for my inspe... |
10 |
| 24 | 28 |
Also, Kamchak, to my pleasure but surprise, had had his men drive verr flocks and some Turian bosk after the refugees. |
10 |
| 24 | 52 |
Each warrior had at his disposal five crossbows and four Turian slaves, for winding and loading the bows. |
10 |
| 24 | 66 |
Ha-Keel had, we estimated, most of a thousand tarnsmen still with him, plus many Turian guardsmen. |
10 |
| 25 | 49 |
The engraving on the Turian collar consisted of the sign of the four bosk horns and the sign of the city of Ko-ro-ba, which I took it, Kamchak had used for my sign. |
10 |
| 25 | 127 |
"They do not even inflict that on their Turian slaves". |
10 |
| 25 | 128 |
I added, "And it is one of the great fears of a Tuchuk girl that, should she fall into Turian hands, it will be done to her". |
10 |
| 25 | 162 |
About her throat was the Turian collar with its chain, attached to slave bracelets and ankle rings, one of the latter attached to the chain running to the slave ring. |
10 |
| 25 | 295 |
She was not natively Turian, nor Tuchuk. |
10 |
| 25 | 619 |
I saw on her lovely throat the harsh ring of Turian steel, gleaming and locked, so contrasting with, so barbarically accentuating the incredible softness of her beauty, the tormenting vulnerability of it. |
10 |
| 25 | 656 |
I put my two hands in the Turian circlet, and, lifting it up, against her chin, forcing her head back, thrust her back some inches. |
10 |
| 25 | 669 |
By the Turian collar one may control a girl in a variety of ways, dragging a girl to one side or another, turning her, force her downward, to her knees or back, and so on. |
10 |
| 26 | 59 |
"They were well paid," said Harold, "with Turian gold—of which substance we have a great deal". |
10 |
| 26 | 68 |
The fighting would be fierce, but it did not seem that the outcome would be in doubt, even from the beginning—particularly now that the tarnsmen of Ha-Keel had left the city, the saddle packs of their tarns bulging with Turian gold. |
10 |
| 26 | 179 |
In that moment, uttering the Turian war cry, the young man rushed forward with his sword on Kamchak and the dozen arrows flew simultaneously, striking him a dozen times, turning him twice. |
10 |
| 26 | 528 |
Well did I recall how Kamchak had made Albrecht of the Kassars pay dearly for the return of his little darling, Tenchika, and how he had roared with laughter because the Kassar had paid such a price, obviously having allowed himself to care for a mere slave girl, and she a Turian at that! "I would g... |
10 |
| 26 | 553 |
"You might have pointed out," said Harold to Kamchak, "that the gold was Turian gold". |
10 |
| 26 | 554 |
"Yes," cried Kamchak, "that is true—it was Turian gold!" He cracked his fist on his thigh. |
10 |
| 26 | 555 |
"Turian gold!" "One might claim," said Harold, "that that makes quite a difference". |
10 |
| 27 | 4 |
The Turian Ubar himself, with Kamras, former Champion of Turia, both clad in the Kes, were chained at the door, to wash the feet of those who would enter. |
10 |
| 27 | 55 |
"For the first time in more than a hundred years," said the Paravaci, "there is a Ubar San, a One Ubar, Master of the Wagons!" Kamchak stood up and threw from his shoulders the purple of the Turian Ubar and stood in the black leather of a Tuchuk. |
10 |
| 27 | 157 |
Kamchak's hands were at the small, heavy lock at the back of the steel, Turian collar she wore. |
10 |
| 27 | 181 |
"Why is it," I asked Harold, "that he so spared Turia?" "His mother was Turian," said Harold. |
10 |
| 27 | 191 |
"Yes," he said, "she had been a Turian girl—taken as slave by Kutaituchik—but he cared for her and freed her. |
