2	174	The effect of the scars, ugly, startling, terrible, perhaps in part calculated to terrify enemies, had even prompted me, for a wild moment, to conjecture that what I faced on the Plains of Turia were not men, but perhaps aliens of some sort, brought to Gor long ago from remote worlds to serve some n...	10

11	28	What made them such dreaded foes was not so much their intelligence or, on the steel worlds, their technological capacities, as their aggressiveness, their persistence, their emotional commitments, their need to populate and expand, their innate savagery.	10
11	163	They spoke together in one of the languages of the Kurii, for there are, I understood, in the steel worlds, nations and races of such beasts.	10
11	191	I had little doubt but what the Kurii, perhaps organized by Kurii from the steel worlds, were to begin a march in Torvaldsland, which might extend, in a generation to the southern pole of Gor.	10
11	196	These beasts, over the centuries grown numerous and strong, might now be directed by the Kurii of the steel worlds.	10
11	203	I had strong doubts, of course, as to whether a Kur invasion of the south was practical, unless abetted by the strikes of Kur ships from the steel worlds.	10

18	653	The great plan of the Others, of the Kurii of the steel worlds, their most profound and brilliant probe of the defenses of Priest-Kings, had failed.	10
18	654	Native Kurii, bred from ships' survivors over centuries, would not, it seemed, if limited to the primitive weapons permitted men, be capable of conquering Gor, isolating the Priest-Kings in the Sardar, until they could be destroyed, or, alternatively, perhaps be used to lure the Priest-Kings into a ...	10
18	663	But already, I suspected, Kurii, fresh, brilliant, calculating, masters in the steel worlds, in their command rooms, their map rooms and strategy rooms, were, even before the ashes in this remote valley in the north had cooled, engaged in the issuance of orders.	10
18	665	New coded instructions, doubtless, had already been exchanged among the distant steel worlds.	10

21	305	This would eliminate a world, but, with it, Priest-Kings, and leave Earth unsheltered, vulnerable, to the attack fleets of the steel worlds.	10
21	487	A diversion would be ineffective, for what could draw the Kur from his position? If the blood of the slaughtered humans about had not been sufficient to override his obedience to the dark imperatives of the steel worlds, I did not think anything I might contrive could lure him forth.	10
24	305	"Perhaps those on the steel worlds will not believe your protestations.	10
26	1200	Somewhere up there, beyond atmospheres, beyond the orbits of Gor, and Earth and Mars, in a boulder-strewn, enigmatic blackness of space, in the silence of the fragments of the asteroid belt, were the steel worlds, the lairs and domiciles of Kurii.	10

31	270	"The past, then, is still with you on the steel worlds," I said.	10
33	21	How preposterous was that concept! One does not find one's brother upon the shores of foreign worlds.	10

32	728	It remains my speculation, however, that the resemblance between these forms of beasts, which are considerable, particularly in bodily configuration and disposition, may be accounted for by convergent evolution; this process, alert to the exigencies of survival, has, I suspect, in the context of sim...	10
