3	197	On gor it was not the case that a cavern-chested toothpick could close a switch and devastate an army.
3	256	Whereas large Earth birds, such as the eagle, must, when taking flight from the ground, begin with a running start, the tarn, with its incredible musculature, aided undoubtedly by the somewhat lighter gravity of gor, can with a spring and a sudden flurry of its giant wings lift both hi...

14	111	I wondered if it too recalled the thunder of the wind, the clash of arms as tarnsmen dueled in flight, the sight of gor's tarn cavalries wheeling in formation to the beat of the tarn drums, or the long, steady, lonely soaring flights we had known together over the green fields of
19	96	And it seemed strange to me that this rebellion, this willingness to pursue the right as they saw it, independently of the will of the Priest-Kings, had come not first from the proud Warriors of gor, nor the Scribes, nor the Builders nor Physicians, nor any of the high castes of the ma...

1	63	Sometimes these men are merchants who wish thereby to secure goodwill for their products; sometimes they are practitioners of the law, who hope to sway the votes of jury men; sometimes they are Ubars or High Initiates who find it in their interests to keep the crowds amused.

2	66	If there is an optimum configuration for a land predator, I suppose on my old world the palm must go to the Bengal tiger; but on gor the prize belongs indisputably to the mountain larl; and I cannot but believe that the structural similarities between the two animals, though of differe...

2	39	I was afoot, on the treeless southern plains of gor, on the Plains of Turia, in the Land of the Wagon Peoples.
2	50	The Wagon Peoples, of all those on gor that I know, are the only ones that have a clan of torturers, trained as carefully as scribes or physicians, in the arts of detaining life.

2	90	It would not, of course, be to the benefit of Turia, or the farther cities, or, indeed, any of the free cities of even northern gor, if the isolated fierce peoples of the south were to join behind a single standard and turn their herds northward—away from their dry plains to the...
2	96	The mount of the Wagon Peoples, unknown in the northern hemisphere of gor, is the terrifying but beautiful kaiila.
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 t...
