Chapter # Sentence # Quote
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.
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.
2 7 Pa-kur's horde had been defeated by an alliance of free cities, led by Ko-ro-ba and Thentis, under the command of Matthew Cabot of Ko-ro-ba, the father of Tarl of Bristol, and Kazrak of Port Kar, sword brother of the same Warrior.
2 8 Tarl of Bristol himself on the windy height of Ar's Cylinder of Justice had defeated Pa-kur, Master of the Assassins.
2 9 From that time the black of the Assassins had not been seen in the streets of Glorious Ar.
2 10 Yet none would stand in the way of Kuurus for he wore on his forehead, small and fine, the sign of the black dagger.
2 11 When he of the Caste of Assassins has been paid his gold and has received his charge he affixes on his forehead that sign, that he may enter whatever city he pleases, that none may interfere with his work.
