As Andreas had said, I would be expected. I knew that little passed on Gor that was not somehow known in the Sardar Mountains. The power and knowledge of the priest-kings is perhaps beyond the comprehension of mortal men, or, as it is said on Gor, of the Men Below the Mountains. It is said that as we are to the amoeba and the paramecium so are the priest-kings to us, that the highest and most lyric flights of our intellect are, when compared to the thought of the priest-kings, but the chemical tropisms of the unicellular organism. I thought of such an organism, blindly extending its pseudopodia to encircle a particle of food, an organism complacent in its world—perhaps only an agar plate on the desk of some higher being. I had seen the power of the priest-kings at work—in the mountains of New Hampshire years ago when it was so delicately exercised as to affect the needle of a compass, in the Valley of Ko-ro-ba where I had found a city devastated as casually as one might crush a hill of ants. Yes, I knew that the power of the priest-kings—rumored even to extend to the control of gravity—could lay waste cities, scatter populations, separate friends, tear lovers from one another's arms, bring hideous death to whomsoever it might choose. - (Outlaw of Gor, Chapter )
