Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
5	18	Never defeated in combat, Ubar of Ubars, he had boldly refused to relinquish his title after a Valley War some twelve years ago, and his men had refused to withdraw from him, refused to abandon him to the traditional fate of the overambitious Ubar.	10
6	170	"This is the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus," said Nar, and added ironically, "She did not remember to thank you for saving her life, which is strange, is it not, for a rational creature?" "Silence, Insect," said the daughter of the Ubar, her voice loud, clear, and imperious.	10
7	17	"Well, Brother," I said, remembering the insult of the daughter of the Ubar, "shall we continue our journey?" I wanted Nar to understand that not all humankind were as contemptuous of the Spider People as the daughter of the Ubar.	10
7	74	What was it she thought I was waiting for? Then, to my astonishment, the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus, daughter of the Ubar of Ar, knelt before me, a simple warrior of Ko-ro-ba, and lowered her head, lifting and extending her arms, the wrists crossed.	10
18	177	I called out, as loudly as I could, "Marlenus, Ubar of Ar!" To my joy, from somewhere above, around the curve of the stairs, I heard the voice of the Ubar.	10
3	87	In times of crisis, a war chief, or Ubar, is named, who rules without check and by decree until, in his judgment, the crisis is passed".	10
3	96	"But," said my father, "sometimes such a war chief, or Ubar, wins the hearts of his men, and they refuse to withdraw their allegiance".	10
4	78	In your veins must flow the blood of your father, once Ubar, War Chieftain, now Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, this City of Cylinders".	10
4	95	"Marlenus, who would be Ubar of all Gor, knows of your existence".	10
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
4	174	"And there," he said, poking downward with his finger, "is the City of Ar, hereditary enemy of Ko-ro-ba, the central city of Marlenus, who intends to be Ubar of all Gor".	10
5	55	Lastly, as the culmination of Ar's Planting Feast, and of the greatest importance to the plan of the Council of Ko-ro-ba, a member of the Ubar's family goes to the roof at night, under the three full moons with which the feast is correlated, and casts grain upon the stone and drops of a red, winelik...	10
5	56	The member of the Ubar's family then prays to the Priest-Kings for an abundant harvest and returns to the interior of the cylinder, at which point the Guards of the Home Stone resume their vigil.	10
5	57	This year the honor of the grain sacrifice was to be accorded to the daughter of the Ubar.	10
5	59	According to the plan of the Council of Ko-ro-ba, exactly at the time of the sacrifice, at the twentieth Gorean hour, or midnight, I was to drop to the roof of the highest cylinder in Ar, slay the daughter of the Ubar, and carry away her body and the Home Stone, discarding the former in the swamp co...	10
5	60	The girl, Sana, whom I carried on the saddle before me, would dress in the heavy robes and veils of the Ubar's daughter and return in her place to the interior of the cylinder.	10
5	124	For a hundred tarns one might have the daughter of an Administrator, for a thousand perhaps even the daughter of the Ubar of Ar! A thousand tarns would make a formidable addition to the cavalry force of a Gorean warlord.	10
5	190	It was a magnificent and beautiful city, a worthy setting for the jewel of empire, that awesome jewel that had proved so tempting to its Ubar, the all-conquering Marlenus.	10
6	1	Nar the Spider I had a little difficulty making out the tallest tower in Ar, the cylinder of the Ubar Marlenus.	10
6	17	I abruptly forced my tarn into flight, streaking for the tower of the Ubar.	10
6	19	I dropped immediately, for no one without good reason rides a tarn in the vicinity of the tower of a Ubar.	10
6	62	In the sickening instant of falling I realized I had not fastened my own saddle belt in the wild flight from the roof of the Ubar's cylinder.	10
6	114	"I was tricked by her I supposed to be the daughter of the Ubar, thrown from my own tarn, and saved from death only by your web.	10
6	115	I think tonight there will again be gladness in Ar, when the daughter of the Ubar returns the Home Stone".	10
6	117	"How is it that the daughter of the Ubar will return the Home Stone of Ar when you carry in your belt the tarn-goad?" Suddenly I realized the truth of what he had said and was amazed that it had not occurred to me before.	10
6	119	Her chances of survival seemed now more slim than if I had cut the ladder over the cylinders of Ar when she hung helplessly in my power, the treacherous daughter of the Ubar Marlenus.	10
6	133	In that instant I recognized the heavy brocaded robes, now mud-splattered and torn, of the daughter of the Ubar.	10
6	158	After all, what did I expect? That she would thank me for saving her life? She had undoubtedly left me to the tharlarion, rejoicing in the luck of a Ubar's daughter, that her enemies might destroy one another while she escaped with her life.	10
6	167	But across the marsh, with his swift prancing stride, came Nar, and in his mandibles, held gently but firmly, the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus.	10
6	168	She was striking at Nar with her tiny fists, cursing and kicking in a manner I thought most improper for the daughter of a Ubar.	10
6	173	I regarded the daughter of the Ubar, now a sorry sight.	10
6	177	Many of the free women of Gor and almost always those of High Caste wear the Robes of Concealment, though, of course, their garments are seldom as complex or splendidly wrought as those of a Ubar's daughter.	10
6	183	Now the eyes of the daughter of the Ubar were blazing at me furiously from the narrow aperture in her veil.	10
6	184	I noted that they were greenish in cast, fiery and untamed, the eyes of a Ubar's daughter, a girl accustomed to command men.	10
6	185	I also noted, though with considerably less pleasure, that the daughter of the Ubar was several inches taller than myself.	10
6	187	"You will release me immediately," announced the daughter of the Ubar, "and dismiss this filthy insect".	10
6	227	So now the tarn was gone, returned to his natural wild state, the Home Stone was in the saddle pack, and I had failed, and the daughter of the Ubar had failed, and we stood facing one another on a green knoll in the swamp forest of Ar.	10
7	1	A Ubar's Daughter The girl straightened, somehow proud but ludicrous in her mud-bedaubed regalia.	10
7	7	"You will release me immediately," announced the daughter of the Ubar.	10
7	13	"Who could refuse anything to the daughter of a Ubar?" I said, and then added—maliciously, it seems now—"Good luck in the swamps".	10
7	22	"Wait!" cried the daughter of the Ubar.	10
7	27	The Ubar's daughter tried to stand up, but, ridiculously enough, it seemed as if one leg were suddenly far shorter than the other.	10
7	34	"How dare you touch the daughter of a Ubar!" she exclaimed.	10
7	41	This explained the incredible height of the Ubar's daughter.	10
7	47	"Why do you wear these silly things?" "The daughter of a Ubar must look down on her subjects," was the simple if extraordinary reply.	10
7	51	The daughter of a Ubar looked up to no man.	10
7	53	"I do not take orders from the daughter of the Ubar of Ar," I said.	10
7	67	"Stranger, I, the daughter of the Ubar of Ar, ask your favor.	10
7	72	"I know what you are waiting for," said the daughter of the Ubar, strangely calm after her earlier fury—unnaturally calm, it seemed to me.	10
7	76	Without raising her eyes from the ground, the daughter of the Ubar said in a clear, distinct voice: "I submit myself".	10
7	83	I held the daughter of the Ubar tightly as the insect righted himself, floating in the muck for a second, and then managing to free himself with his eight scrambling legs.	10
7	89	I slid from his back and helped the daughter of the Ubar down.	10
7	99	"Beware the daughter of the Ubar".	10
7	104	The daughter of the Ubar followed, some yards behind.	10
7	122	I half-carried, half-floated it, shoving it toward the place where the daughter of the Ubar had slipped under the water.	10
7	130	I smiled to myself; the proud daughter of the Ubar in all her imperial regalia quite literally stank, stank of the swamps and the mud and of the perspiration exuded beneath that heavy covering, stank of heat and fear.	10
7	131	"You have saved my life again," said the daughter of the Ubar.	10
7	147	I was surprised at this deference on the part of the daughter of the Ubar, but recalled that she had submitted herself.	10
7	159	I turned, just in time to seize the wrist of the daughter of the Ubar as she struck savagely down at my back with a long, slender dagger.	10
7	165	In spite of my hold on her wrist, which must have been tight and painful, the daughter of Marlenus straightened herself before me and said arrogantly, "You tharlarion! Do you think that the daughter of the Ubar of all Gor would submit to such as you?" Cruelly I forced her to her knees before me, the...	10
7	168	"Is this how you treat the daughter of a Ubar?" she cried.	10
7	170	With both hands I wrenched the veil back from her face, thrusting my hand under it to fasten my fist in her hair, and then, as if she were a common tavern girl or a camp slut, I dragged the daughter of the Ubar of all Gor to the shelter of the Ka-la-na trees.	10
7	192	"With all my heart, Warrior," she pleaded, "the daughter of a Ubar, on her knees, begs your favor.	10
7	195	The daughter of the Ubar feared that I would force her to serve my pleasure—I, a common soldier.	10
7	201	"If you had been a true warrior," she said, "you would have taken me on the back of your tarn, above the clouds, even before we had passed the outermost ramparts of Ar, and you would have thrown my robes to the streets below to show my people what had been the fate of the daughter of their Ubar".	10
7	202	Evidently she believed that I had been afraid to harm her and that she, the daughter of a Ubar, remained above the perils and obligations of the common captive.	10
7	209	"No man may look upon the daughter of the Ubar," she said.	10
7	211	In fury the hands of the Ubar's daughter began to fumble with the hooks of her heavy robes.	10
7	215	"Well done, Men of Ar," exclaimed the daughter of the Ubar.	10
7	224	"You are Talena," he said, tapping the dagger, "daughter of Marlenus?" "You see I wear the robes of the Ubar's daughter," said the girl, scarcely deigning to respond to the officer's question.	10
7	232	"I am Talena, daughter of Marlenus, Ubar of all Gor".	10
8	2	The common soldier, setting the crossbow on the ground, strode to the daughter of the Ubar, who stood as though stunned, her face drained of color.	10
8	19	Now she, like all other members of the household of Marlenus, slave or free, would be subjected to the vengeance of the outraged citizens, citizens who had marched in the processions of the Ubar in the days of his glory, carrying flasks of Ka-la-na wine and sheaves of Sa-Tarna grain, singing his pra...	10
8	37	Then, to my amazement, the daughter of the Ubar spoke.	10
8	39	The officer regarded her calmly, and she blushed, realizing her body was no longer sacred in his sight, no longer protected by the power of the Ubar.	10
8	74	The daughter of the Ubar was apparently not as inhuman as I had supposed.	10
8	112	On the other hand, I think that Talena was actually pleased to be rid of the encumbering, ornate robes of the daughter of the Ubar.	10
8	123	"He was a Ubar of Ubars," she said.	10
8	125	"The life of a Ubar is uncertain".	10
8	131	High Caste daughters in Ar are raised in the Walled Gardens, like flowers, until some highborn suitor, preferably a Ubar or Administrator, will pay the bride price set by their fathers".	10
8	159	I was dismayed at this—the cool, calculating exploitation of her girls by the daughter of the Ubar, merely to gain information.	10
8	161	"I would whip them," said the daughter of the Ubar coldly.	10
8	170	For the first time since she had learned of the fall of Marlenus, the daughter of the Ubar seemed stunned.	10
8	199	"What is the submission of Talena, the daughter of the Ubar, worth?" I taunted.	10
8	208	Then I picked up the crossbow and left the glade, dragging after me, none too gently, the hooded, stumbling daughter of the Ubar.	10
9	5	Talena seemed to be animated, as if excited beyond comprehension at her escape from the seclusion of the Walled Gardens and the role of the Ubar's daughter.	10
9	27	It would be generally assumed that the mysterious tarnsman who had stolen the Home Stone and disappeared with the daughter of the Ubar must long ago have reached whatever unknown city it was to which he had pledged his sword.	10
9	126	"What news of Marlenus, the Ubar?" demanded Talena.	10
9	138	"I have heard," she said imperiously, "that the daughter of the Ubar is the most beautiful woman on all Gor".	10
10	46	"Oh, Ubar of Merchants," I said, "I would not willingly see your profits jeopardized".	10
10	75	For a moment I was afraid Talena was going to announce that she was the daughter of the Ubar Marlenus, preferring possible impalement to the insult of being considered the offspring of a goat keeper.	10
10	173	"The daughter of the Ubar of Ar wears no man's collar".	10
10	174	"The daughter of the Ubar of Ar," I said, "wears the collar of Tarl of Bristol".	10
11	9	It was I who had stolen the Home Stone of Ar, who had brought about the downfall of Marlenus, the Ubar, who had set the spark that had brought Ar to anarchy and the vultures below to feed on the divided carcass of what had been Gor's greatest city.	10
11	21	That night we brought the caravan into the palisaded keep prepared for Mintar by Pa-Kur, the Master Assassin, who was the Ubar of this vast, scarcely organized, predatory horde.	10
11	84	There was a sudden bright clash of the finger cymbals, and, to the music of the nearby tent, Talena, daughter of the Ubar of Ar, began to dance for me.	10
12	40	"What have you done with the girl?" "She is Talena, daughter of the Ubar Marlenus," said Pa-Kur.	10
12	47	I should have known that the proud Talena, daughter of a Ubar, would leap at the first chance to return to power in Ar, even though it be at the head of a plundering host of brigands.	10
13	1	Marlenus, Ubar of Ar I set my course for Ko-ro-ba, carrying in my saddle pack the trophy that was now, at least to me, worthless.	10
13	119	"I am Marlenus, Ubar of Ar," said the man.	10
14	1	The Tarn Death Shackled in a kneeling position, my back open and bleeding from the lash, I was thrown before the Ubar.	10
14	12	Around his neck he wore the golden chain of the Ubar, carrying the medallionlike replica of the Home Stone of Ar.	10
14	63	"With this!" The Ubar then rose and sheathed his sword.	10
14	95	As I found a moment's respite, I spun to face him, hoping to have it out with the Ubar himself, but as I did so, the shackles that I had worn struck me forcibly in the face and throat, thrown like a bolo by Marlenus.	10
14	96	I choked, and shook my head to clear the blood from my eyes, and in that instant was seized by three or four of the Ubar's tarnsmen.	10
14	114	The warriors of the Ubar moved back, to give the tarns room.	10
15	138	Then, with an imperious gesture, Marlenus swept his Ubar into the file opened by the movement of Mintar's capturing Spear Slave.	10
15	140	Mintar bowed his head in mock ceremony, a wry smile on his fat face, and with one short finger delicately tipped his own Ubar, causing it to fall.	10
15	169	"And," I went on, "when Pa-Kur falls, the garrison will be divided, and a revolution may take place—" "Led by a Ubar," said Marlenus, looking fixedly at the game piece in his hand.	10
15	170	It was a Ubar.	10
15	172	"By a Ubar!" he exclaimed.	10
15	197	Noting the Ubar's interest, I went on.	10
15	203	"What is it, Ubar, that you hold dearest—your city or your title? Do you seek the welfare of Ar or your private glory?" Marlenus leaped to his feet, hurling the yellow robes of the Afflicted from him, drawing his blade from its sheath with a metallic flash.	10
15	204	"A Ubar," he cried, "answers such a question only with his sword!" My weapon, too, had flashed from its sheath almost simultaneously.	10
15	217	He hopes this will encourage the survivors of Ar to accept him as their rightful Ubar.	10
15	222	So saying, he picked a piece, the Ubar's Consort, or Ubara, from the board and dropped it into the game box.	10
15	241	"I am a Ubar," he said.	10
16	82	"But Pa-Kur," I said, "as Ubar of Ar, will threaten all Gor".	10
17	81	"The impalement of Talena, daughter of Marlenus, false Ubar of Ar".	10
17	104	Still, the days in the tarn cot, gigantic though it was, must have been confining for that Ubar of the Skies, my tarn, and I knew he would relish flight, the chance to pit his wings once again against the fierce winds of Gor.	10
18	3	I felt sorry for him, knowing that that sight, if any, would crush the heart of the fierce Ubar.	10
18	14	Surely one of those pits had been prepared years ago by the wily Ubar as an escape route or emergency exit.	10
18	43	"Pa-Kur wishes to know if the false Ubar, Marlenus, still lives".	10
18	54	"Where," I asked, "shall Pa-Kur take the daughter of the false Ubar to be executed?" The officer pointed to a distant cylinder.	10
18	59	There are two systems of courts on Gor—those of the City, under the jurisdiction of an Administrator or Ubar, and those of the Initiates, under the jurisdiction of the High Initiate of the given city; the division corresponds roughly to that between civil and what, for lack of a better word, ...	10
18	158	When I reached that portion of the stairwell adjoining the upper floors, devoted to the private use of the Ubar, I saw some twenty or thirty guardsmen, behind them a barricade of tile and tarn wire which they had erected.	10
19	17	I am Ubar of Ar, and while I live, my city will not perish".	10
19	25	Each was determined to die with his Ubar.	10
19	26	And I, too, if a higher duty had not called me, might have chosen to follow Marlenus, ruthless Ubar of that vast and violated city.	10
19	68	"Men of Ar," I cried, "listen! Even now, in the streets below, Marlenus, your Ubar, fights for the freedom of Ar!" The men of Ar looked at one another.	10
19	223	The Ubar's hand gently restrained mine.	10
19	226	The Ubar went to his daughter and took her fine head in his great hands.	10
19	228	"Yes," he said, as if he might have seen his daughter for the first time, "she is fit to be the daughter of a Ubar".	10
19	253	"It seems I belong to you, bold Tarnsman," she said, "What are you going to do with me?" In answer, I hauled on the one-strap, and the great bird rose into the air, higher and higher, even into the clouds, and she cried to me, "Let it be now, Tarl," and even before we had passed the outermost rampar...	10
20	24	Accordingly, the Ubar, tears in his eyes, was publicly refused bread and salt, and, under penalty of death, was ordered to leave Ar by sundown, never again to come within ten pasangs of the city.	10
20	26	There, I suppose to this day, in that inhospitable vastness, he reigns; in the scarlet mountains of the Voltai, Marlenus still rules, a larl among men, an outlaw king, to his followers always the Ubar of Ubars.	10

5	11	I longed for my city, and for my father, the magnificent Matthew Cabot, once Ubar, now Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and for my friends, the proud Older Tarl, my master-at-arms, and Torm, the cheerful, grumbling little scribe who regarded even sleep and food as part of a conspiracy to separate him from...	10
12	85	"A handful of bread for a song," was a common Gorean invitation extended to members of the caste, and it might occur on the lips of a peasant or a Ubar, and the poet took great pride that he would sing the same song in both the hut of the peasant and the halls of the Ubar, though it won for him only...	10
2	14	So standing, the sun upon me, without thinking I raised my arms as in pagan prayer to acknowledge the power of the Priest-Kings, which had once again brought me from Earth to this world, the power which once before had torn me from Gor when they were finished with me, taking me from my adopted city,...	10
2	63	This blade had fought its way up the stairs of the Central Cylinder of Ar, when I had rescued Marlenus, embattled Ubar of that city.	10
7	35	Thorn would never make a Ubar.	10
8	10	Even men of a caste as low as that of the Tarn-Keepers were intolerably proud of their calling, for who else could raise and train those monstrous birds of prey? I supposed Zosk the Woodsman was proud in the knowledge that he with his great broad-headed ax could fell a tree in one blow, and that per...	10
8	109	Since the siege of Ar, when Pa-Kur, Master Assassin, had violated the limits of his caste and had presumed, in contradiction to the traditions of Gor, to lead a horde upon the city, intending to make himself Ubar, the Caste of Assassins had lived as hated, hunted men, no longer esteemed mercenaries ...	10
11	47	I was stunned, for if the yoke were truly of silver, the metal on my shoulders might have ransomed a Ubar.	10
14	99	"Ho! Ubar of the Skies!" I cried, holding my arms extended.	10
14	171	I wondered sometimes if that bird, my Ubar of the Skies, that tarn of tarns, of a race of birds spoken of by Goreans as Brothers of the Wind, might have considered himself as above the goad, resented its shocks and sparks, resented that that puny human device would pretend to teach him, he, a tarn o...	10
14	191	It was truly a tarn of tarns, my Ubar of the Skies! It was a desperate plan I had seized upon, no more than one chance in a million, unless the great tarn could tip the scales in my favor.	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	238	"Thank you, Ubar of the Skies," I said.	10
16	100	Now, I thought, it would be free, escaping at last to some rude habitat where it might, without saddle and harness, without a silver hobble, reign as the Ubar of the Skies that it was.	10
17	91	Though he might never see the light of the sun, yet it was he who held the whip, he who was Ubar in this macabre dungeon.	10
20	78	The mountains of the Sardar were not such a vast, magnificent range as the rugged scarlet crags of the Voltai, that almost impenetrable mountain vastness in which I had once been the prisoner of the outlaw Ubar, Marlenus of Ar, ambitious and warlike father of the fierce and beautiful Talena, she who...	10
20	130	Had it failed me? Was I now rejecting it? "Go, Ubar of the Skies," I said.	10
20	132	When I had said Ubar of the Skies, the bird had lifted its head, now more than a yard above my own.	10

8	144	The cessation of attacks on Ko-ro-ba began during the time my father, Matthew Cabot, was Ubar of that city.	10
9	147	"No," I said, "—she was the daughter of a Ubar".	10
9	169	"Am I not beautiful enough," she asked, "to be the daughter of a Ubar?" "Yes," I said, "you are that beautiful".	10
12	17	"That is the color of the robes of a Ubar".	10
14	52	I was glad that the tunic I wore was not of the Ubar's purple which would proclaim me a slave of Priest-Kings.	10
28	5	I think with one such weapon a man might have made himself Ubar of all Gor.	10
34	68	I took the small stone in my hands and kissed it, for it was the Home Stone of the city to which I had pledged my sword, where I had ridden my first tarn, where I had met my father after an interval of more than twenty years, where I had found new friends, and to which I had taken Talena, my love, t...	10

2	73	It is near Turia, in the spring, that the Omen Year is completed, when the omens are taken, usually over several days by hundreds of haruspexes, mostly readers of bosk blood and verr livers, to determine if they are favorable for a choosing of a Ubar San, a One Ubar, a Ubar who would be High Ubar, a...	10
8	5	It is in the spring that the omens are taken, regarding the possible election of the Ubar San, the One Ubar, he who would be Ubar of all the Wagons, of all the Peoples.	10
12	26	At that time Kutaituchik and other high men among the Tuchuks, doubtless including Kamchak, would be afield, on the rolling hills surrounding the Omen Valley, in which, on the hundreds of smoking altars, the haruspexes of the four peoples would be practicing their obscure craft, taking the omens, tr...	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
12	30	But, I then reminded myself even more strongly, there would be no choice—there had been no Ubar San for a hundred years or more—the Wagon Peoples, fierce and independent, did not wish a Ubar San.	10
14	118	"He was called Ubar of the Tuchuks," said Kamchak, "but he was not Ubar".	10
23	15	Each people, as the Tuchuks had, had its false Ubar, its decoy to protect the true Ubar from danger or assassination.	10
26	551	"Nonetheless, Cabot," remarked Harold, "do you not think, all things considered, he is on the whole—albeit unwise in certain matters—an excellent Ubar?" "On the whole," I agreed, "albeit perhaps unwise in certain matters—an excellent Ubar".	10
27	65	"All hail Kamchak," they cried, "Ubar San!" "All hail Kamchak," rang throughout the hall, "Kamchak! Ubar San!" It was late in the afternoon before the business of the day had subsided and the great hall emptied.	10
27	147	"That," said he, "the Kataii and the Kassars—and, too, in time the Paravaci—would see how we might be divided against ourselves and singly destroyed—and would thus recognize the need for uniting the standards, bringing together the Thousands under one command—" "That they...	10
27	148	"Hail," said I, "Kamchak, Ubar San!" "Hail," cried Harold, "Kamchak, Ubar San!" Kamchak smiled and looked down.	10
1	22	The land between the Cartius and the Vosk had once been within the borders of the claimed empire of Ar, but not even Marlenus, Ubar of Ubars, when master of luxurious, glorious Ar, had flown his tarnsmen south of the Cartius.	10
5	11	Another time, over a hundred years ago, a wagon Ubar lost the spur from his right boot and turned for this reason back from the gates of mighty Ar itself.	10
5	16	The Tuchuk, incidentally, like others of the Wagon Peoples, prays only when mounted, only when in the saddle and with weapons at hand; he prays to the sky not as a slave to a master, nor a servant to a god, but as a warrior to a Ubar; the women of the Wagon Peoples, it might be mentioned, are not pe...	10
5	96	"He then is the Ubar of the Tuchuks?" I said.	10
5	100	It was thus I first learned the name of the man whom I understood to be Ubar of this fierce people.	10
5	102	"I myself," he said, "must often go to the wagon of the Ubar".	10
5	107	"And the girl—she on the kaiila—is perhaps the daughter of Kutaituchik, Ubar of the Tuchuks?" "No," said Kamchak.	10
7	1	La Kajira The wagon of Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks, was drawn up on a large, flat-topped grassy hill, the highest land in the camp.	10
7	11	Among these men, sitting cross-legged, was Kutaituchik, called Ubar 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
7	28	I gathered that once, in his earlier years, he might have been a rider of the kaiila, that he might have been skilled with the bow and lance, and the quiva; such a man would not need ceremony; I sensed that once this man might have ridden six hundred pasangs in a day, living on a mouthful of water a...	10
7	69	The interrogation, to my surprise, was conducted largely by Kamchak, rather than Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks.	10
7	192	I prepared to fight for my life, selling it as dearly as possible on the dais of Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks, for what Gorean would dare reject the command of Priest-Kings? I stood up, unsheathing my sword.	10
8	20	There had not been, I knew, a Ubar San in more than a hundred years.	10
8	23	Naturally, as a Koroban, and one with a certain affection for the cities of Gor, particularly those of the north, particularly Ko-ro-ba, Ar, Thentis and Tharna, I was not disappointed at the likelihood that a Ubar San would not be elected.	10
8	24	Indeed, I found few who wished a Ubar San to be chosen.	10
9	202	I had learned now, if Saphrar was correct, that the golden sphere, undoubtedly the last egg of Priest-Kings, was in the wagon of Kutaituchik, said to be Ubar of the Tuchuks.	10
12	1	The Quiva In the next days I several times wandered into the vicinity of the huge wagon of Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks.	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	143	The animals sacrificed, incidentally, are later used for food, so the Omen Taking, far from being a waste of animals, is actually a time of feasting and plenty for the Wagon Peoples, who regard the Omen Taking, provided it results that no Ubar San is to be chosen, as an occasion for gaiety and festi...	10
13	144	As I may have mentioned, no Ubar San had been chosen for more than a hundred years.	10
14	54	They must be mercenaries! Kamchak did not return to his own wagon but now raced his kaiila, followed by a hundred men, toward the high ground on which stood the standard of the four bosk horns, on which stood the huge wagon of Kutaituchik, called Ubar of the Tuchuks.	10
14	111	"There will now have to be a new Ubar of the Tuchuks," I said, softly.	10
14	116	"Kutaituchik," he said, "was not Ubar of the Tuchuks".	10
14	121	"It was for such a night as this that Kutaituchik waited in the Wagon of the Ubar".	10
14	128	"Then the true Ubar of the Tuchuks is not slain," I said.	10
14	130	"Who knows who the Ubar truly is?" I asked.	10
14	133	"Who is Ubar of the Tuchuks?" I asked.	10
15	53	I had heard, from a master of hunting sleen, that the Omens were developing predictably, several to one against the choice of a Ubar San.	10
15	84	I suspected, though the girl would not have dreamed of making the admission, that her heart as well as her body might now rightfully have been claimed as his by the cruel Ubar of the Tuchuks.	10
16	322	Tuchuks do not make good spies, for they tend to be, albeit fierce and cruel, intensely loyal; and there are few strangers allowed in the wagon of a Tuchuk Ubar.	10
21	6	Somewhere in the wagon, fixed in a sitting position, weapons at hand, was Kutaituchik, who had been Kamchak's friend, and who had been called Ubar of the Tuchuks.	10
21	50	I was jostled in the crowds, and twice nearly knocked down by officers in the guard of Phanius Turmus, Ubar of Turia.	10
22	6	The Ubar, and Kamras, his highest officer, had fallen captive almost immediately, each to a Hundred set that purpose.	10
22	60	Indeed it was true, for the next level beneath a Ubar among the Wagon Peoples is that of the Commander of a Thousand.	10
22	65	By this time I had followed Harold over to a corner of the courtyard wall, which was heaped high, banked into the corner, with precious metals, plates, cups; bowls of jewels; necklaces and bracelets; boxes of coins and, in heavy, wooden crates, numerous stacked cubes of silver and gold, each stamped...	10
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
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	127	"The Ubar of the Tuchuks does not appear happy," I observed.	10
22	150	The Ubar of the Tuchuks listened impassively and then arose.	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
23	17	I was nearly slain by arrows when I dropped the tarn amidst the startled blacks of the Kataii, but my black jacket with the emblem of the four bosk horns, emblem of the Tuchuk courier, soon proved its worth and I was led to the dais of the Ubar of the Kataii.	10
23	18	I was permitted to speak directly to Hakimba, when I made it clear to my escort that I knew the identity of their true Ubar and that it was with him I must speak.	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
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
26	474	"If I did not know better—I would expect to have found it in the wagon of Kutaituchik—the wagon of the Ubar of the Tuchuks".	10
26	475	"I approve of your conjecture," he said, "but Kutaituchik, as you know, was not the Ubar of the Tuchuks".	10
26	477	"I am Ubar of the Tuchuks," he said.	10
26	516	"By the way, Ubar," asked Harold, winking at me, "what was it you paid for Aphris of Turia?" Kamchak threw him a look that might have been a quiva in the heart.	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	560	Again we laughed and, suddenly, we urged the kaiila forward in great bounding strides, eager to reach the wagons, each of us, for waiting in these wagons were three girls, desirable, marvelous, ours, Hereena, she who had been of the First Wagon, the slave of Harold, her master; Aphris of Turia, almo...	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	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	31	"Who," laughed Kamchak, "is Ubar of Turia?" "Kamchak of the Tuchuks," said the two.	10
27	36	"Turia lives," said he, "Ubar".	10
27	57	"Kamchak," they cried, "Ubar San!" The cry was taken up by all in the room, even myself.	10
27	58	"Kamchak, Ubar San!" Kamchak held forth his hands and the room was quiet.	10
27	76	Albrecht himself was busy elsewhere, talking with Conrad, Ubar of the Kassars.	10
27	136	None remained now in the court of the Ubar other than Kamchak and Aphris, Harold and Hereena, and myself and Elizabeth Cardwell.	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
28	59	"But," I protested, "there have been many things of much greater importance than those in these years—the Siege of Turia, the Taking of the City, the Election of the Ubar San!" "We choose most to remember Tarl Cabot," said Kamchak.	10

Book 5. (191 results) Assassin of Gor

Chapter #	Sentence #	Quote	Confidence
22	213	It was Green Ubar as I had heard speak of him, Green Ubar of the legends, Green Ubar as he had been in the stories told by men who had seen him years before, Green Ubar, greatest of the racing tarns, holder of awards, victorious, triumphant.	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
24	152	On the throne itself, in the purple robes of the Ubar, regal, magnificent, sat Marlenus, Ubar of Ar, Ubar of Ubars.	10
3	118	I supposed they were interested in seeing what the Player's response would be to yellow's fourteenth move, a move on which authorities disagreed sharply, some favoring Ubar's Initiate to Scribe Three, and others the withdrawal of Ubara's Spearman to cover the vulnerable Ubar Two.	10
3	180	"Ubar's Rider of the High Tharlarion," said the Player, "to Ubar's Physician Eight".	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
6	32	Caprus shrugged and pushed Ubar's Spearman to Ubar Four.	10
12	71	"Marlenus, who was Ubar of Ar, he, the Ubar of Ubars".	10
14	99	I knew the former Ubar, still to his followers, years after the days of his glory, the Ubar of Ubars, was not in Ar for the sport of the races.	10
16	26	Then, at dawn, on the first day of En'Kara, in the name of the city, the Administrator of Ar, or a Ubar if it be Ubar, greets the sun, welcoming it to Ar on the first day of the New Year.	10
17	771	"Some authorities," I told her, "favor Ubar's Initiate to Scribe Three at this point, others recommend the withdrawal of Ubara's Spearman to cover Ubar Two".	10
17	778	Six moves later Sura, as I had feared, boldly dropped her Ubar itself, a small rouge pot, on Ubar Five.	10
22	529	Ubar of the Skies suddenly uttered a scream that terrified even me, raising the hair on my neck and arms; it was not simply the challenge scream of his kind; it was a scream of pleasure, of horrifying eagerness, of the tarn's lust for blood and war; steel-shod talons grasping, screaming, beak tearin...	10
22	548	I had seen the maddened eyes of the rider on Red, his frenzy with the tarn goad; he was clearly, Ubar or no Ubar, intent upon the race.	10
22	565	With a curse he jerked savagely at the control straps of Quarrel and that fine bird instantaneously responded and together Quarrel and Ubar of the Skies passed through the final ring; with a snap of his great wings Ubar of the Skies struck the winner's perch, seized it in his steel-shod talons and t...	10
24	1	The Court of the Ubar In the Central Cylinder of Ar, that in which the Ubar has his palace and holds his court, in a room assigned to me, I drew upon my body the tunic of a Warrior.	10
24	394	I stood before him, and looked into the eyes of Marlenus, that larl among men, Ubar of Ar, he, Ubar of Ubars.	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
2	3	Not for many years had the black tunic of the Assassins been seen within the walls of Ar, not since the siege of that city in 10,110 from its founding, in the days of Marlenus, who had been Ubar; of Pa-Kur, who had been Master of the Assassins; and of the Koroban Warrior, in the songs called Tarl of...	10
2	5	Pa-Kur, who had been Master of the Assassins, had led a league of tributary cities to attack Imperial Ar in the time when its Home Stone had been stolen and its Ubar forced to flee.	10
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
2	191	Accordingly, Kazrak of Port Kar, for years Administrator of Ar, was by vote deposed and banished from the city, being publicly denied salt, bread and fire, as had been Marlenus, long years before him, once Ubar of Ar.	10
3	14	As I could I put these thoughts from my mind, but I could not fully escape them, for among them was the memory of a girl, she, Talena, the daughter of the Ubar of Ubars, Marlenus, who so many years before had been the Free Companion of a simple Warrior of Ko-ro-ba, he who had been torn from her at t...	10
3	33	He was a man who would be respected by all the castes in Ar; he was a man who would be recognized, most likely, not only by every urchin wild in the streets of the city but by the Ubar as well; he was a Player, a professional, one who earned his living through the game.	10
3	55	In Ar, the high bridge near the Central Cylinder, housing the palace of the Ubar and the meeting place of the city's High Council, was held, and had been for four years, by the young and brilliant, fiery Scormus of Ar.	10
3	102	"Further," said the Vintner, "I declare for the three-move option at my time of choice, and you must play without the Ubar and Ubara, or the First Tarnsman".	10
3	114	"Ubar's Tarnsman to Physician Seven," said the Vintner.	10
3	119	To my surprise, the Player chose the withdrawal of Ubara's Spearman to cover Ubar Two, which seemed to me rather defensive, and surely cost him the possibility of a dangerous but promising counterattack, which would eventually, if all went well, culminate with his second tarnsman at his opponent's I...	10
3	168	He released my hand and sat back, cross-legged, his back straight as that of a Ubar, a smile playing across the corners of his mouth.	10
3	170	"Second Tarnsman," said he, "to Ubar's Builder Nine".	10
3	185	"Ubar's Scribe to Ubara's Scribe Six," said the Player.	10
3	190	"Ubar's Scribe to Ubara's Scribe Six," repeated the Player.	10
3	195	There seemed something grand about him in that moment, as though it were a gesture of magnanimity worthy of a victorious Ubar.	10
3	210	The crowd and I cried out with delight, marveling on it, the now-apparent simplicity of it, the attack which had been not so much mounted as revealed by the apparently meaningless moves, intended only to clear the board for the vital attack, coming from the improbable Ubara's Scribe, one of the leas...	10
5	509	Our eyes told one another, even in the joy of our meeting, that we, none of us, knew the whereabouts of Talena, once the companion, though she the daughter of a Ubar, of a simple Warrior of Ko-ro-ba.	10
7	29	"Serve me well," said Cernus, "and in time I will make you the Ubar of a City".	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
9	127	"Normally the agent of a Ubar who has been victorious in battle will purchase one, for his high officers, to be brought to the victory feast".	10
9	131	She will be revived at the height of the Ubar's victory feast, commonly to find herself unclothed in a cage of male slaves set up among the tables".	10
12	31	There were other favored areas, too, about the stands, in the front, each covered by awnings, in which there sat members of the numerous high families of the city; I noted that some of these areas were now occupied by Merchants; I had no objection to this for I have always thought higher of the Merc...	10
12	68	"But," said the man glumly, "what can you expect with a Hinrabian on the throne of the Ubar".	10
12	75	Marlenus, who had been Ubar of Ar many years ago, had founded the Empire of Ar, and had extended the hegemony of luxurious Ar over several of the cities of the north.	10
12	77	Later he had helped to free Ar after it had fallen to the horde of Pa-Kur, master of the Assassins, who had wished to become Ubar of the City, inheriting the medallion of office and putting about his shoulders the purple cloak of empire.	10
12	79	He had become an outlaw in the Voltai, whence he could see, with loyal followers, the spires of Ar, Glorious Ar where once he had ruled as Ubar.	10
13	167	"He," she said, "was the Ubar of Ubars".	10
13	180	"He was," said the girl, her voice proud, "the Ubar of Ubars".	10
13	193	He was the Ubar of Ubars!" I rolled over, took Nela by the wrists, drew her to me and kissed her.	10
13	268	"This is Green Ubar," said he, scratching the bird's neck.	10
13	290	Mip rode Green Ubar; he looked well in the worn saddle; his stirrups were short.	10
13	321	Mip on his tarn, Green Ubar, seemed a swift, dark movement against the white sand and tiers, the shadow coursing behind them, seeming to break geometrically over the tiers.	10
14	100	Also, in the Baths, Nela, who doubtless heard much in the Capacian, had been evasive about matters pertaining to the Ubar.	10
14	103	I gathered that those now high in Ar had good reason for such desperate attempts to locate and slay the former Ubar.	10
15	351	The sheer mechanics of her repertoire, theoretically outfitting her to give exquisite pleasure to anyone from an Ubar to a peasant, are much too complex and lengthy to recount here.	10
15	418	I beg of you!" The hand of Cernus lifted, as though to move his Ubar, and then drew back.	10
15	422	Caprus studied the board for a moment and then, with an exasperated laugh, tipped his own Ubar, conceding the board and game.	10
15	438	"By the end of En'Var," said he, "Killer, I will be Ubar of Ar".	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
16	270	"It has been long, Ubar of the Skies," I said.	10
17	172	"Or Ubar?" said the guard.	10
17	174	"Yes," he said, "or Ubar".	10
17	176	"In these times perhaps what one needs is truly a Ubar".	10
17	177	"I say," said the guard, "Cernus should be Ubar of Ar".	10
17	182	"May Cernus, of the House of Cernus," said they, "become Ubar of Ar!" I saw one other man rise up when I did, and also leave the tavern.	10
17	191	"Did you hear them speak of Master Cernus," I asked, "as a possible Ubar?" Ho-Tu looked at me sharply.	10
17	192	"Cernus," he said, "should not be Ubar".	10
17	226	On the twentieth day of Camerius the great signal bars suspended about the walls of the city rang out the enthronement of a Ubar of Ar.	10
17	227	Cernus had been proclaimed, as the Taurentians lifted their swords in salute and the members of the High Council had stood on the tiers of the Council Chamber and cried out and applauded, Ubar of Ar.	10
17	247	I was further cheered by the thought that Caprus had informed me his work was coming along very well and he hoped to have the documents and maps copied by the beginning of Se'Kara; I gathered that now with Cernus spending much of his time in the Central Cylinder as Ubar, Caprus' opportunities for wo...	10
17	261	* * * * Cernus, upon occasion, though Ubar of Ar, would return to sit table in his own house, where, as he had invariably done before, he would play with Caprus, losing himself in the movements of the red and yellow pieces on the large board of red and yellow squares.	10
17	404	"Kajuralia, Ubar!" he cried.	10
17	406	"Kajuralia, Ubar!" they cried.	10
17	408	"Kajuralia, Ubar!" I cried.	10
17	410	And then, to my relief, he, Ubar of Ar, smiled, and then he, too, began to laugh.	10
17	765	To my astonishment, this time I began to see the Centian Opening unfold, developed years ago by Centius of Cos, one of the strongest openings known in the game, one in which the problems of development for red are particularly acute, especially the development of his Ubar's Scribe.	10
17	773	"Ubar's Initiate to Scribe Three is the better move," she said.	10
17	775	I placed my Ubar's Initiate, a perfume vial, on Scribe Three.	10
17	779	"Now," she said, "you will find it difficult to bring your Ubar's Scribe into play".	10
17	801	"Your strongest move," she said, "is First Tarnsman to Ubar One".	10
17	804	"But then," she said, "I shall place my Ubara's Scribe at Ubar's Initiate Three".	10
17	805	I tipped my Ubar, resigning.	10
18	187	The Cylinder of the High Initiate then petitioned the High Council of the City to stop our work, but they, on the recommendation of Marlenus, who was then Ubar, permitted our work to continue".	10
18	304	And Caprus, now that Cernus was often in the Central Cylinder, attending to the numerous duties of Ubar of the city, had more time for his work.	10
19	85	This was surprising because the hour was still early; I supposed the crowd this night would be unusually large, even for the fourth night of the Love Feast; none of the citizens had paid much attention to my being brought under guard to the box of Cernus; he was Ubar; it is not unusual on Gor for a ...	10
19	206	Again I did not deign to respond to the Slaver, now Ubar of Ar.	10
19	366	"Would they not be a fitting gift for the palace of the very Ubar of Port Kar, beautiful jewel and mistress of gleaming Thassa?" The crowd was silent.	10
19	463	The girls turned and then Elizabeth, peering out into the crowd, for the first time, saw me, in the rag of a slave, my wrists bound behind my back in steel, the helpless captive of Cernus, Slaver, Ubar of Ar.	10
20	11	A few feet from me, wretched, dazed, chained like I before the dais of Ar's Ubar, knelt Elizabeth Cardwell, her only garment the chain of Cernus, with its medallion of the tarn and slave chains, about her throat.	10
20	27	The Slaver who had been chief competitor to the House of Cernus was brought forward, doubtless from the dungeons of the Central Cylinder of Ar, on order of its Ubar, Cernus, once of the Merchants, now of the Caste of the Warriors.	10
20	48	I gasped, for it was Claudia Tentia Hinrabia, once the spoiled daughter of a Ubar of Ar, now a rightless wench in bondage, not unlike thousands of others in Glorious Ar.	10
20	74	"I am Cernus," said he, "Ubar of Ar".	10
20	79	"Please, Ubar," she wept.	10
20	80	"Please noble Cernus, Ubar of my city, free me!" "Your father owed me moneys," said Cernus.	10
20	173	"Since I am Ubar of Ar," said Cernus to me, "and of the Caste of Warriors—" There was mirth at the tables, but a look from Cernus silenced it in a moment.	10
20	258	"Qualius the Player," called Cernus, "you are once again in the House of Cernus, who is now Ubar of Ar".	10
20	267	"Indeed it was," said Qualius, "Ubar".	10
20	297	He stood before the table of Cernus and though Cernus was Ubar of his city he merely lifted his hand in common Gorean greeting, palm inward.	10
20	325	"Ubar!" cried the boy.	10
20	342	Qualius, who apparently knew the voice of the young man, said, "You need have no fear, Ubar, I am not his equal".	10
20	405	Without looking at the board Hup poked a piece, I think a Ubar's Scribe, with one of his swollen fingers.	10
20	454	"My Ubar jests," said Scormus of Ar, studying the board.	10
20	456	"I should have known my Ubar would not have perpetrated the farce he pretended," said Scormus, not raising his eyes from the board.	10
20	459	You are to be congratulated, Ubar.	10
20	462	"Surely you recognize," asked Scormus, curiously, looking up at him, "the Two Spearman variation of the Ubar's Scribe's Defense, developed by Miles of Cos and first used in the tournament at Tor held during the Second Passage Hand of the third year of the Administrator Heraklites?" Neither Cernus no...	10
20	487	"Your departure from the Two Spearman Variation on the sixteenth move was acute," said Scormus to Hup, paying the Ubar of Ar no attention.	10
20	497	"You have a winning position!" Scormus' hand tipped his Ubar, resigning the game.	10
20	501	"Are you a traitor to your Ubar?" he screamed.	10
20	502	"No, Ubar," said Scormus, puzzled.	10
20	504	The Ubar trembled with fury.	10
20	512	"With your permission, Ubar," said Scormus of Ar, "I shall withdraw".	10
20	528	"Ubar's Tarnsman to Ubara's Scribe Four!" Scormus smiled.	10
20	537	"I have moved Ubar's Tarnsman to Ubara's Scribe Four! What will you do now?" Hup returned to the table and, scarcely glancing at the board, picked up a piece and dropped it on a square.	10
20	538	"Ubar's Tarnsman to Ubara's Tarnsman Six," said Cernus, puzzled.	10
20	557	I could not stop myself laughing, though I was much beaten, and laughing I still was when, chained, I was conducted stumbling from the hall of Cernus, the noble Ubar of Ar.	10
21	28	"He sits this day in the box of the Ubar at the races," said Vancius.	10
21	48	"They will not win the great race," said Vancius, "the Ubar's Race".	10
21	49	The Ubar's Race is the final and climactic race of the Love Feast.	10
21	189	I permitted myself to be apparently driven to a place before the box of the Ubar.	10
21	190	The Ubar, of course, was not in the box, but an agent of his was, Philemon, of the Caste of Scribes.	10
21	206	Hail Cernus, Ubar of Ar! We who are about to die salute you! I did not join in this salute.	10
21	267	They did not relish being witness to the private joke of some high person, doubtless the Ubar himself.	10
21	270	I moved swiftly drawing one Warrior or another after me, and he who was swiftest died first; I turned and spun, accepting or not accepting an attack, always to isolate a man; vaguely, as though far off, I heard the screaming of Philemon in the Ubar's box, the shouting of Taurentians; in a moment's r...	10
21	378	Then to my surprise I saw, with us, fighting, a common Warrior, not a Taurentian, one whose helmet was not laced with gold nor his shield bound with silver, nor his shoulders covered with the purple of the Ubar's guard.	10
21	383	Now those Taurentians left in the stands suddenly failed to restrain the crowds and thousands of citizens were leaping into the arena and others were swarming across the tiers toward the box of the Ubar.	10
21	385	I saw Philemon, his face white, his eyes wide, turn and flee through the private passage that gives access to the box of the Ubar.	10
22	24	"Do not fear," I said and grimly strode toward the perch of the great black tarn, the majestic tarn of Ko-ro-ba, my Ubar of the Skies.	10
22	40	"The eighth," said one of the men, "that before the Ubar's Race".	10
22	47	My own tarn, if it could be readied at all, could not be brought to the starting perches before the ninth race, that of the Ubar.	10
22	48	The Steels could not, thus, even did they win the Ubar's race, carry the day.	10
22	57	"Green Ubar".	10
22	90	"My Ubar of the Skies," I said, "you know me".	10
22	96	"We must ride, Ubar of the Skies," said I, approaching the bird.	10
22	112	"I shall see you shortly," said I, "Ubar of the Skies".	10
22	122	I caught a glimpse of Green Ubar, Mip in the saddle, lost in the flurry of whipping wings.	10
22	139	Then followed Green Ubar, Mip one with the winged beast, high stirrups, his small body hunched down, not giving the bird its head.	10
22	147	I turned and regarded the box of the Ubar.	10
22	150	The fists of Cernus were white, clenched on the arms of the Ubar's throne.	10
22	158	Mip, on Green Ubar, swept past the large-winged tarn.	10
22	192	He did not strike Green Ubar with the tarn goad.	10
22	195	I saw Green Ubar begin then to hold his lead, his wings striking with the accelerating, timed frenzy of the racing tarn, each stroke seeming to carry him swifter and farther than the last.	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	207	"Mip lives!" Mip now hung on the neck of Green Ubar, his body parallel to the saddle, clinging to the bird, his face pressed against it, his lips moving, speaking to it.	10
22	209	The crowd roared, the tarns screamed, and Green Ubar, his rider Mip, flew, eyes blazing, for those final moments marvelous and incandescent in his youth, like a bird and rider come from the dreams of old men, as they knew them once, when they too were young.	10
22	210	Green Ubar flew.	10
22	216	Then all, save perhaps those closest to the noble Ubar of the city, began to cry out and cheer, and pound their fists on their left shoulder.	10
22	229	"Green Ubar is dead," I told him.	10
22	237	"Green Ubar," he said.	10
22	238	"Green Ubar".	10
22	279	"He and Green Ubar died in victory," said one of the men present.	10
22	283	The judge's bar rang twice, signaling the preparation for the ninth race, that of the Ubar.	10
22	289	The body of Green Ubar was placed on a platform and taken from the area.	10
22	298	On a large board, against the dividing wall, on which the day's results were tallied, and lists and odds kept of the coming races, I saw them place as the winner of the eighth race Green Ubar, and his rider Melipolus of Cos.	10
22	300	Menicius of Port Kar would, of course, ride in the Ubar's Race for the Yellows.	10
22	304	But I had little doubt Ubar of the Skies, whose name I saw posted now for the Steels, was his master.	10
22	306	The Ubar's Race would decide the honors of the day, and of the Love Feast and, for most practical purposes, the season.	10
22	307	I looked to the box of the Ubar, and to that of the High Initiate, Complicius Serenus.	10
22	312	There was no name following Ubar of the Skies for the Steels.	10
22	353	I think there were none in that vast stadium who did not for the moment, even in the sun of summer, feel a swift chill, suddenly fearing themselves endangered, suddenly feeling themselves unwitting intruders, trespassers, wandered by accident, unwilling, into the domain of that majestic carnivore, t...	10
22	356	But I remembered him only now as he had held the saddle of Green Ubar, dying, but his hands lifted, in victory.	10
22	411	I looked across to the box of Cernus, Ubar of Ar, and lifted my hand to him, in mock salute.	10
22	417	The Ubar's Race is the longest, the most grueling of the tarn races.	10
22	421	"Let us fly," said I, "Ubar of the Skies".	10
22	436	The seventh rider was a nonfaction rider, but a veteran rider, who, upon orders from the Ubar or not, did not intend to wheel his tarn to face me, thus surrendering his opportunity of victory.	10
22	485	"On, Ubar of the Skies!" The bird, oblivious of the missiles, smote his way forward.	10
22	489	"On, Ubar of the Skies!" I shouted.	10
22	492	It did not occur to me at the moment but the fact that one of these men was the rider for Green had made the allegiance of the Ubar clear to all.	10
22	503	"On, Ubar of the Skies!" I cried.	10
22	510	"On!" Ubar of the Skies, like black fire, burned past one ring and another.	10
22	518	"Now," said I, "let us fly, Ubar of the Skies".	10
22	530	Again and again the small bow, swift and vicious, fired, twenty barbed arrows in half an Ehn, tarnsmen struggling to reach me with their swords, thrusting with their heavy spears, and all the time Ubar of the Skies tearing and ripping, his beak and steel-shod talons engines of fierce carnage; I felt...	10
22	551	Ubar of the Skies did not hesitate but hurtled into their midst, beak rending, and then was clear; they turned in pursuit but four of them, caught in the wide loop of the Tuchuk rope, were cursing, cutting at it, while the tarns, suddenly startled, finding their movements inhibited, broke formation;...	10
22	557	"Ubar of the Skies," cried I, "fly! Fly now as you have never flown before!" We flashed through the end rings and, on the straight-away, saw, ahead, the Yellow and the Red approaching the left side rings.	10
22	558	Like an arrow, a black torrent, Ubar of the Skies flashed toward the side rings.	10
22	561	"Faster! Har-ta! Faster! Faster!" Then, approaching the last of the left side rings, Ubar of the Skies, striking for the heart of the ring, burst between the startled Red and Menicius, who led him by perhaps four yards.	10
22	569	Menicius, fumbling, unstrapped himself from the tarn saddle and leaped to the sand, running toward the box of the Ubar, his hands outstretched.	10
22	570	I saw four crossbowmen at the box of the Ubar, on a signal from Saphronicus, who stood there, fire.	10
22	573	I saw Cernus, in the swirling robe of the Ubar, leap to his feet, summon Taurentians about him.	10
22	579	One citizen tore down the banners of green which draped the box of the Ubar and of the High Initiate.	10
22	581	Another citizen, rushing forward, oblivious of the crossbows of Taurentians, hurled a banner of yellow across the box of the Ubar; another such banner was thrown over the railing of the box which had been occupied by Complicius Serenus, High Initiate of Ar.	10
22	583	He stood raging in the box of the Ubar.	10
22	595	He stopped before the box of the Ubar.	10
22	599	With a cry of horror he threw off the robe of the Ubar and, turning, fled from the box.	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	604	The robe of the Ubar was placed about his shoulders.	10
22	609	He is Ubar of Ar".	10
22	618	I had business remaining in the house of Cernus, once Ubar of Ar.	10
23	128	I will see that you are conveyed safe to the courts of the Ubar, where I trust justice will be dealt".	10
23	235	"There is a new Ubar in Ar.	10
24	12	"He is my Ubar," said Hup.	10
24	24	Kazrak, though uninspiring as a Ubar, and worse, not of Ar, was nonetheless an estimable ruler, an honest man, an intelligent, brave man, who sought the good of the city".	10
24	27	I thought of the magnificent Marlenus, swift, brilliant, decisive, stubborn, vain, proud, a master swordsman, a tarnsman, a leader like a larl among men, always to those of Ar the Ubar of Ubars.	10
24	65	"And the Steels," I said, "the new faction, had their role to play in bringing about the downfall of the influence of Cernus, and later, his downfall as Ubar".	10

4	232	We saw, on the great board, the placement not of the Ubara's Spearman at Ubara Five, but of the Ubar's Spearman at Ubar Five.	10
4	267	Centius of Cos had moved his Ubar's Tarnsman's Spearman to Ubar's Tarnsman Four.	10
4	278	Red would now advance his Ubar's Rider of the High Tharlarion, to develop his Ubar's Initiate and, simultaneously, expose the yellow Spearman to the Initiate's attack.	10

4	348	Scormus, on his sixth move, advanced his Ubar's Spearman to Ubar Four.	10
4	349	Ubar Five would have been impractical because at that point the spearman would have been subjected to the attack of red's Ubara and Ubar.	10
4	353	This would free his Ubar's side's pieces for the attack on red's Ubar's side.	10
4	354	Centius of Cos then, on his sixth move, placed his Ubar at Ubar Four.	10

12	36	The configuration of pieces on the board was as follows: On my first rank, my Home Stone was at Ubar's Initiate One; I had a Builder at Ubar's Scribe One.	10
12	38	On my third rank, I had a Spearman at Ubar's Initiate Three and another at Ubar's Scribe Three.	10
12	41	His Spearman at Ubar's Builder Eight was supported by another of his Spearmen, posted at Ubar's Scribe Seven.	10
12	48	They were, as I indicated earlier, his Home Stone, located at Ubar's Initiate One, and a Builder, located at Ubar's Builder One.	10
12	252	He then advanced his Spearman at Ubar's Builder Eight to Ubar's Builder Nine.	10
12	265	If I had done so this would have permitted the diagonal move of the Spearman to his Ubar's Initiate Ten, my Ubar's Initiate One, at which point it would doubtless have been promoted to a Rider of the High Tharlarion, thusly effecting capture of Home Stone.	10
12	283	I did not think he would directly advance his Spearman to Ubar's Builder Ten, even though it was now protected, the file opened behind it, by his Builder at Ubar's Builder One.	10
