I wondered why there had not been more females. If Sarm had killed them, how was it that the Mother had not learned of this and had him destroyed? Or was it her wish that there should be no others? But if so why was she, if it were true, in league with Misk to perpetuate the race of priest-kings? I looked again through the grille on the shaft. It opened about thirty feet over the floor of the chamber and a bit to one side of the Platform of the Mother. I surmised there might be a similar shaft on the other side of her platform, knowing the symmetry that tends to mark the engineering aesthetics of priest-kings. As the musicians continued to produce their rhapsodic, involute rhythms of aroma on the scent-producer, one priest-King at a time, one after the other, would slowly stalk forward and approach the Platform of the Mother. There, from a great golden bowl, about five feet deep and with a diameter of perhaps twenty feet, setting on a heavy tripod, he would take a bit of whitish liquid, undoubtedly Gur, in his mouth. He took no more than a taste and the bowl, though the Feast of Tola was well advanced, was still almost brimming. - (Priest-Kings of Gor, Chapter )
