A warm welcome to the pages of the 127th issue of the NEW VOICE OF GOR !
A year in Gor is a long time for someone to dedicate themselves to producing an article for
every NEW VOICE OF GOR is exceptional. Then to make it interesting funny and witty takes
some doing. Teal has been doing it for a year now. Without this kind of sacrifice the NEW
VOICE OF GOR would be a poor read . Thank you Teal " Long may you find the stories to
carry on and keep that cutting edge.

## ALL OVER GOR
03 STATEMENT OF THE CITY OF VIGO TO THE NEW SALT DECREE OF THE STA
This decree concerns only the white salt from the centre of the Tahari. The colored and
qualitatively higher to be valued salt from the edge areas of the Tahari, in particular the red
salt from Kasra and the yellow salt from Vigo is not concerned by this decree.
We welcome the decision of the Kasbah of the Guard of the Dunes, the Oasis of Nine Wells,
the Oasis of Sand Sleen and the City of Tor to mark their inferior products by an uniform
name to warn the consumer about it. Besides, we point out to the special quality of the yellow
salt which is won and available in the City of Vigo.
Admin of Vigo "Brody"
Lady Sabina
[Comment of the editor: The True Southern Trade Alliance will react properly as soon as
possible.]
04 TRUE OR FALSE - THAT IS THE QUESTION
by Lady Wendie, HoY scribe
One sometimes wonders how scribes can get their facts so wrong when the scroll containing
them is to be endorsed by their administrator and head merchant.
The true SOUTHERN TRADE ALLIANCE decree concerns the red and yellow salt of the
Tahari. This is obvious as white salt can be found anywhere on Gor.
Sometimes scribes are too busy to read the scroll correctly, then people get confused.
They are also confused with the SOUTHERN TRADE ALLIANCE (STA). The true STA is
solely a trade alliance unlike the false STA, in former times a front company of the Vosk
league of Fina and Mequara before and is now a front company of the allies and vassals of
Turia.

# THE SLAVE'S CORNER
By Teal Razor ~ slave of Siri Emerald Jr ~ Captain Olni Scarlet's
THE SLAVE'S CORNER…ONE YEAR LATER
By Teal Razor
I want to thank my Master for giving me an opportunity to express my slave heart and
sensibilities on scrolls. I also want to thank the Rarius Yuroki for granting me a space on his
Gor-wide scroll, The Voice of Gor. I send a hug and kiss out to his chief accountant and
scribe, Wendi Lemon. And last but not the least is any one who has read this column and
been entertained by it.
The "boss" has seen 52 submissions from me over the year. I have made sure he received
my scroll on time at the end of every week. For that I congratulate myself. The pat on the
back that I give myself is actually due to the fact that I have been able to get past the guard
on duty at the gate and leave the city to and make my way to Tancred's Landing. It is there
that I deliver my column to the boss. I have had to keep track of my columns in earth time
since I cannot get used to dating everything from Contasta Ar, and in case some other
earthlings don't know what that expression signifies, it means from the founding of Ar. You
would think I would not have trouble with this dating system for it resembles the system on
earth where time is gauged on the basis of it being beyond or retroactive from the birth of a
man in Bethlehem.
I have learned through research from my Master's lessons, that the city of Ar is simply spelled
by the letter "R", and pronounced as the earth word "are". It is the letter carved on their
Home Stone.
But I digress. I am stupefied that "the boss" has not cut my quill down to a nub and put out a
decree that ink should not be sold to me in any town, village, or hamlet on Gor. Thankfully he
has not, yet. I feel privileged to have my Master who has given me a writing desk, several
pots of ink, and plenty of parchment to scribble my musings on. I hope to write many more
columns for "the boss" and hope that they have amused and informed him.
If my few readers would like to see a collection of my writings over the year, I have enclosed a
scroll containing all of the columns. You may go back, at your leisure, and read the drivel of
an acolyte to the great historian, Master Norman. I hope those who read the contents will find
themselves chuckling as they go about their daily lives on Gor.
DEAR TEAL
By Teal Razor
DEAR TEAL:
My Master is fond of taking cold baths. He says that they are invigorating and it is what a
man should do. When he steps out from the bath, I can't help but stare at his genitals. His
member takes on the appearance of a hairy angry little acorn... My question is.. Hmmm...
No question really, I just had to get that off my chest.
DEAR NUTCRACKER:
Well, if there is no question then I will offer no solution. Except an observation…."Mighty
Oaks from little acorns grow".
DEAR TEAL:
I am a free woman who has made some observations from cities I have visitied as an
ambassador's assistant. I notice that more and more Goreans are not giving a damn about
their appearance. Where has the planet's fashion etiquette gone?
DEAR FRUSTRATED FASHIONISTA:
Have more truer words been written? I remember back a few months ago when I wrote about
the lack of pride among warriors who do not wear their caste colors. But, sadly, you are
correct in your assessment. Maybe the problem is not the color unconsciousness of some.
No, I believe this fashion faux pas is more due to a lack of personal style and a peculiar
understanding of good taste and not the hue of the clothing.
I wish I could relate some examples but it would be tactless of me. Well, maybe just one or
two couldn't hurt. There was this time, last waiting hand, when slave after female slave was
seen sporting a comic book disregard for surgically enhanced body parts. Then there was a
time when slaves started wearing silks during the day. It was ludicrous to see these women,
being the "slave" to an irrational way of dressing. Any rational mind would disregard the
notion of a slave milking a bosk, tending the fields, washing dishes and running back and
forth in service dressed in delicate silks as lunacy. But, there we had it. Slaves wearing their
fine silks to perform every day chores. I don't think their chores were performed with all the
gusto they should have. I can't worry about having a wardrobe malfunction when my silks are
in danger of being trod on by a sweating clumsy bosk and by that I don't mean a master in the
furs.
But yes, I have been told time and again, there is no bad weather, just inappropriate clothing.
In the case of the lack of style on some sectors of the planet, it would be more appropriate to
say, there is no bad clothing, just inappropriate outfits.

06 GENESIAN PORT
# BREAKING NEWS - NEW VOICE OF GOR EXCLUSIVE
THE ADMIN OF GENESIAN PORT RESIGNED
by Anonymous
Overheard conversation in a tavern on the docks of a large city:
The Administrator of Gensian Port we assume Liam Whitesong has resigned and left the city.
He has now appeared in Voltai Viktel maybe to take over this city, as he once tried with Landa
when the banker Rarius Yuroki was Administrator there. On that occasion the red caste would
not give their backing to him and he was forced to leave. Gold coin is available for any
substantiating evidence.
# NEW BANK OPENED?
Rumors say that a new bank had opened in Genesian Port. We do not have valid information.
The House of Yuroki company will pay one silver tarsk to get to know the name of the banker
and one silver tarsk more for some coins of Genesian Port. We will compensate you for these
coins for sure and give you valid coins of other cities, for example Olni, Tarnwald or Tharna.

RARE DIALECTS OF GOR
09 KRIEG ZWISCHEN TESLIT UND DER OASE DER ZWEI SCIMITARE?
Botschaft
An: Sir Andy Urbar von Venna
An: Regenten von Teslit
1. Hiermit wird die Beglaubigte und bezeugte Botschaft durch die angebliche Schreiberin
Amira zu Teslit aus Ivalo nicht anerkannt.
Eher wird darum gebeten, die sich zu selbsternannte Schreiberin, an die Oase der 2
Scimitare auszuliefern, da sie eine entflohene Sklavin des Paschas ist.
Da ich selbst der Blauen Kaste zu Gor angehöre gibt es kein Verzeichnis in der Registratur,
dass eine Amira Schreiberin aus Ar ist, noch Ausbildungsnachweise vorliegen wie sie
behauptet. Eher wurde sie von mir bei einem Spiel in Ar gewonnen und entsprang aus einer
Zucht von Sklaven und wurde als Tänzerin ausgebildet. (Gleicher Avatar mit gleichem
Namen, weitere Details sind bei den Owner von Scimitare zu erfragen)
Hiermit fordert der Pascha der 2 Scimitare die Herausgabe der Sklavin Amira oder wie in
Teslit benannte Schreiberin. Beweis durch das Brandzeichen welches von einem Schmied
gesondert angefertigt wurde und durch eine Heilerin zu prüfen ist.
2. Des Weiteren wird Teslit beschuldigt eine Sklavin als Schreiberin zu verschleiern und sich
der Beihilfe schuldig zu machen. Dies wird an einem Gericht der Neutralität zur Anzeige
gebracht und in den nächsten Fingern Teslit zugestellt.
3. Sir Andy Urbar von Venna, ich als Pascha werde eure Herausforderung annehmen und
meinen besten Krieger in dieses Duell schicken, allerdings NICHT unter den von euch
ausgeschriebenen Preis! Als Pascha der Oase habe die solche zu schützen und nicht durch
ein solch lächerlichen Kampf in Gefahr zu bringen. Das ihr das tut verwundert mich
keineswegs.
Ihr und Sir Mark wurdet als Söldner der weißen Kaste von dem Wissenden zur Aufklärung
und Beschaffung des blauen Steins in die Dienste der Oase gestellt. Gegen die Anweisung
und des Befehls wurde eine Gefangene Lady Blue die der Mittäterschaft ihres Bruders Sir
Akim des Diebstahls des Amuletts beschuldigt wurde und unter Hausarrest des Palastes vom
Pascha gestellt wurde von euch und Sir Mark an einem Nordmann übergeben mit der
Begründung das ihre Hilfe für eine schwer verletzte Sklavin benötigt wurde die im Norden auf
dem Landsitz des Nordmanns lag. Hier ist euch und Sir Mark der Mittäterschaft des
Diebstahl des Amuletts zu verschleiern und Mittäter aus dem Land zubringen, vorzuwerfen
da alleine die Reise vom Norden bis in die Tiefen der Taharii eine lange Schiffs- und
Karawanenreise zu Grunde liegt, daher ist davon auszugehen das diese Sklavin gar nicht
mehr lebte, eine Heilerin aus mittel gor oder Nord gor in diesem Fall aufzusuchen wäre,
näher gewesen . So mit ist die Sache unglaubwürdig.
Hiermit untersage ich Euch die Oase zu betreten.
Eure Kriegsdrohung wurde mit heutiger Wirkung der Südallianz eingereicht, auch wurde es
der STA übergeben.

12 ANANGO
# AN DIE TATRIX
Nach der unerfreulichen Situation mit der neuen Baeckerin und ihren scheinbaren Geliebten,
kopfschuettelnd in die Schreiberstube geht und ihre Neuerworbenen Kenntnisse zu Papier
bringt :
Insel Anango, Tag 5, 4.Hand, Monat Se kara, 0007
An die Tatrix der Stadt Anango wie auch den Stadtrat zur weiteren Verfuegung.
An Hand meiner Pflichten die Finanzierung der Stadt im Auge zu behalten und zu Ordnen,
wie auch ein Auge auf die Einhaltung der Gesetze zu haben, stelle ich folgenden Antrag und
rate zu schnellstmoeglicher Klaerung des Sachverhaltes.
Lady Riva wird angeklagt ohne ordentliche Genehmigung in der Unterstadt Anangos einer
Bewirtung nach zu kommen bzw die Baeckerei in ein ueber der massen uebliches
Bewirtungsbebaeude fuer die Unterstadt, laut ihrer Wortwahl in ein "Kaffee" ausgedehnt zu
haben.
Des weitern ist zu Erforschen in wie weit es mit rechten Dingen vor sich geht, dass eine
einfache Frau von niederen Kaste an kostbaren Blaeckwine gelangt und diesen scheinbar
unbegrenzt ausschenken kann.
Es konnte keine Ermittlung von dem Abgabezins fuer die Baeckerei weder noch eine
Ausschanksteuer fuer das "Cafe" an die Stadt erfolgen.
Da sich die Baeckerin straeubte, die noetigen Papiere bei der Kontrolle vorzuzeigen, somit
also unsachgemaesse Einrichtung eines unerlaubten Bewirtungsgebaeudes (bisherige
einfache Baeckerei) ohne Besitz der Ausschanlizenz von jeglichem Getraenk.
Von dem benoetigen Gesundheitszeugnis also dem koerperlichen Zustand der Baeckerin
werde ich absehen, da ich davon ausgehe, dass dies bei der Vergabe des Backhauses
geklaert und kontrolliert wurde!
Weiterhin wird aus dem Gespraech zufolge der Antrag auf Ueberpruefung den Personen Sir
Ery Tuatha de Danann (marus.matova) wie auch Lady Riva beantragt. (Stand und
Verhaeltnis zueinander sind zu klaeren.)
Hochachtungsvoll
Lady Ros
Schreiberin auf Anango
Mitglied der blauen Kaste Gors
# NEUER HEILER
Ich, Sera von der gruenen Kaste, habe mich nun hier in Anango niedergelassen.
Um mir einen Ueberblick ueber die hier lebenden Sklaven zu verschaffen, moechte ich die
Freien Herren und Freien Frauen bitten mit Ihren Sklaven mich im Heilerhaus aufzusuchen.
Bei der Untersuchung der Sklaven wird das Sklavenpapier aktualisiert.
Sollte im Heilerhaus niemand anzutreffen sein, bin ich entweder auf Reisen, um neue
Kraeuter zu kaufen oder in meinem Haus,hinter der Backstube anzutreffen.
Sichere Wege

13 [OOC] KRIEGER GESUCHT
Gesucht werden deutschsprachige Krieger fuer eine Soeldner-Truppe, die gern manchmal
zusammen trainieren wollen und ab und zu raiden (auch im englischsprachigen Gor, Englisch
ist aber nicht Voraussetzung). Jede denkbare Hilfe wird gestellt. Auch Neulinge (und auch per
voice, zum Ueben)
Wir wollen euch alles beibringen, was zum Kaempfen in SL Gor gehoert.

biggest and most important trade alliance of southern Gor.
# The Oasis of Klima decided to join the True Southern Trade Alliance again. Klima is still
pending member, the assembly of the STA members will have to decide about that soon.
Klima was the first place in southern Gor the HoY mint made coins for. The House of Yuroki
company had a bank branch there some years ago, but the company decided to close it.
# NEW MAP

# MAGNA CARTA
The Citizens of the TRUE SOUTHERN TRADE ALLIANCE, in league to form a more perfect
coalition, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for trade with safe passage,
promote the general well-being, and secure the Blessings of the Priest Kings to ourselves
and our Posterity, do prescribe and validate this:
We proclaim to work together towards trade support to unify the south against invaders seen
from any entity especially from the North that disrupts our mutual trade investments within
our Ports, Cities and Oases, for peace and prosperity and the protection of our trade routes.
15 HOUSE OY YUROKI COMPANIES
# FACTS
The HoY Companies are currently located in Tarnwald (Voltai region), Tancred's landing (Vosk
region), Landa and in Tharna. The HoY Companies are a member of the true Southern Trade
Alliance.
# REWARD - DEAD OR ALIVE
A messenger arrived at the HoY headquarters delivering this scroll, sealed and encrypted:
"On Monday night of this week a man with long dark hair, a small short beard around his jaw
line and a patch of hair under his chin came to Olni and confronted, if that is a good word, the
Ubar of Port Olni as he was leaving the small area after a spar match. The Ubar was talking
to his Captain of the guards, Siri Emerald. We found out through his confession that he was
from Port Salaria. He wants to kill Yuroki.
He confessed to using a lot of different weapons so I could not vouch for that..He is slender
of body and dresses all in black...He usually has a Glaive on that looks like a Q-tip with spikes
on the ends encrusting it. I have never seen this glaive and I watch weapons obsessively. It
is quite unusual."
The House of Yuroki Companies will pay
TWENTY GOLD TARN
for this man DEAD OR ALIVE.
#
SEEKING MERCENARIES, AGENTS AND MERCHANTS
The HoY Companies are currently located in Tarnwald (Voltai region), Tancred's landing (Vosk
region/Saleria) and in Tharna. The HoY Companies are a member of the true Southern Trade
Alliance.
The HoY Companies (Trading company and bank) is a privately owned company. It employs
its own bankers, merchants and elite guards, all of the highest quality. More branches are
under construction.
The House of Yuroki Companies (HoY) is looking to recruit Mercenaries. They will be used to
escort Hoy caravans throughout Gor and protect the merchants.
Remuneration is by the 4 Hands ranging from 1 silver to 1 gold depending on the work
required.
Merchants are also required to further the interests of the house of HoY remuneration is
negotiable.
Agents in other cities are also required.
[OOC] We are looking for active male role players which are able to act independent and like
to follow some sophisticates story lines (some of them started 2011). Mercenaries who had
been hired by a privately owned company are very common on Gor (but NOT in SL Gor), they
are mostly members of the red caste.
We do NOT need pixelsex addicts, lifestylers or players who are online once weekly or play
20 alts at the same time. You need to LIKE roleplay.
You should be able to make a valid log without metagaming and OOC.
We accept apprentices too or players who want to learn how to roleplay.
Ask Rarius Yuroki (Yuroki Uriza) for details
#
THE HOUSE OF HOY JOB OFFERS
BANKERS / COIN MERCHANTS REQUIRED
Applications are invited for the post of" Banker" and (coin) merchant in the below listed cities
(these cities have a bank building but no banker)
SELNAR OR PORT KAR
PORT OF OLNI
ISLE OF SULPORT
Duties will include
Normal banking duties
Keeping of records - ledger
Exchange of coins
checking of coins for quality
checking for rare coins
contracts for trade
Apprentices accepted too.
Applications to Rarius Yuroki
16 CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES HOY BANK
The base unit of exchange rates are the coins of the city of Tharna.
The gold tarn disk of Ar is considered to be the standard by which other cities, such as Ko-RoBa and Port Kar. set the value of their own coinage. It is worth, generally, 10 silver tarsks, but
standardization is slight due to the shaving or splitting of the coin as well as faulty scales that
contribute to the debasing of the coinage. (pg. 155, Rogue of Gor)
New: The HoY bank accepts and converts coins of Turmus (german BTB), the City of Tor,
coins of Torviksburg (Torvick Burg, H.O.S.) and coins made by the mint of the Golden Larl
Trading Company.

# VERR FJORD GOREAN BASIC TRAINING ACADEMY
(special note to experienced roleplayers of Verr Fjord and of any other group in Gor. We invite
you to come to our Verr Fjord Basic Training Academy for storytime. It is a scheduled event
for newcomers to hear experienced roleplayers speak of their role, their character, or their
group. You are allowed to set up freebies in our academy, a notecard giver with landmark,
laws and note to newcomers so they may decide for themselves once done with their basic
training how they wish to participate in their own roleplay. Maybe they want GE or BTB or
North or South or a certain character. We show them the options then they are guided by
those that take the time to come share their experience and wisdom of Gor. This is a good
recruiting tool especially since we take care of the basics of Gorean roleplay. Once finished
with our Academy they may go with the group (including our own Verr Fjord fishing village) to
more advanced training. Contact Samanya Seetan if you wish schedule an appointment to do
a one hour storytime with the newcomers of Verr Fjord Basic Training Academy.)
Welcome to the Verr Fjord Training Academy. We are free of charge only accepting donations
which are optioinal. If you can't donate lindens once you have benefited from our program
and are ready for roleplay maybe you can give tours of our facilities or help recruit. We all try
to contribute in what way we can to the life of the sim.
# THE GOREAN RECRUITMENT CENTRE
As listed in the SL destination guide, on its Website and in World via the SL3 viewer
And Now on the "Tumbler" Loads of New people coming and looking for RP destinations
The Gorean Recruitment Centre (GRC) has, since its creation in 2009 , expanded on a
regular basis. and this is due NOT to the wishes of the Owner, but because of the needs of
the people who use it.
The GRC is now a Part of the ROLEPLAY CENTRE ( RPC) but it retains its total Gorean
Theme and is 100% separate from the RPC itself. they just share the same landing point.
As the signs show. The GRC HALL is to the Right and through an Archway.

## ROLEPLAY
18 BEYOND PANILAND
by Nephtides na Neidos [Nephtides Resident]
Huge expedition beyond Paniland is starting already, with the preplay and planning. All
scenes set, we accept all goreans. You will be able to play this parallel to your "usual"
character life, BUT over solid three months. Let me know if a sim or group feels like joining.
More information will follow per Forums and per Messages. This is a non-territorial, joint effort
to create an epic rp with a maximum of immersion and originality.
09 PILGRIMAGE
The pilgrimage is a thrilling idea for role playing in Second Life Gor, it is the role play
background itself and is a way for pilgrims to explore the amazing and wild world of Gor more
or less in safty.
Pilgrims to the Sardar mountains have to endure endless journeys, have to travel through
dangerous regions and visit a lot of cities, villages and camps.
The pilgrimage is not only an idea for the pilgrims, it also enriches the entire world of SL Gor.
Go !!! join the adventure, contact: Luqara Darkwatch

## KNOWLEDGE
20 [HOY LIBRARY) ARE SLAVES ALLOWED TO TOUCH COINS?
Generally, slaves were not allowed to touch coin. They could be punished severely, even to
the point of having their hands cut off, for having unauthorized money on their person or in
their belongings. This, in other words, was touching money without authorization.
However, slaves were often given money to run errands, go shopping, to give to their owners,
etc. This money could be carried in a bag tied around their necks, in their mouths or carried in
their hands. (Even the free carried coins in the mouth because most Gorean clothes have no
pockets). The difference between this and the previous statement is that they were authorized
to have the money.
Slaves could touch coins in Gor, as long as they had the permission of their owners to do so.
21 TRIVIA
Per the code of the Warriors, this is the only death that is fit for a man.
"I am of the Caste of Warriors, and it is in our codes that the only death fit for a man is that in
battle, but I can no longer believe that this is true, for the man I met once on the road to Koro-ba died well, and taught me that all wisdom and truth does not lie in my own codes."
--Priest-Kings of Gor, page 7
The codes of the Warrior recommend respect for the status of the free female, if not for the
female herself. Does this apply to all free women or just those of the Warriors Home Stone?
"The codes do, you see, recommend respect for the status of the free female, if not for the
female herself. To be sure, the codes make it abundantly clear that this pertains only to
females with whom one shares a Home Stone. Cabot, however, as some Warriors, tended to
generalize this recommendation to free women more generally, saving, of course, those who
might be insolent or abusive, or of an enemy city. Whereas there are clear cases in which the
codes apply or do not apply, they, as most recommendations, rules, principles, and such,
perhaps unavoidably, were occasionally afflicted with a regrettable penumbra of obscurity.
More acutely, a personal sense of honor, one which seems to me misplaced and overly
sensitive, seems to have been involved, one clearly exceeding the parameters of the codes.
One suspects this might have been the consequence of a personal idiosyncrasy, or even a
residue lingering from an unnatural and ridiculous acculturation, one to which he had been
subjected in the innocence of his childhood or adolescence." --Kur of Gor, page 60
Warriors, it is said in the codes, have a common Home Stone. What is it's name?
"Men shuddered. Warriors, it is said in the codes, have a common Home Stone. Its name is
battle." --Renegades of Gor, page 358
By the thinking of the Gorean, what is it that separates men from sleen and larls?
""What is it, Bran Loort, that separates men from sleen and larls?' asked Thurnus.
'I do not know,' said Bran Loort.
'It is the codes,' said Thurnus.
'The codes are meaningless noises, taught to boys,' said Bran Loort.
'The codes are the wall,' said Thurnus.
'I do not understand,' said Bran Loort.
'It is the codes which separate men from sleen and larls,' said Thurnus. 'They are the
difference. They are the wall.'" --Slave Girl of Gor, page 257
Sleen are used for many purposes in Gor. They are sometimes used by assassins, though
the caste of assassins, by their caste code, preclude their use. Why use the use of the sleen
forbidden?
"Aside from these common uses, sleen are put to other uses, too. In Thentis, for example,
sleen are used to smell out contraband, in the form of the unauthorized egress of the beans
for black wine from the Thentian territories. They are sometimes, too, used by assassins,
though the caste of assassins itself, by their caste codes, precludes their usage; the member
of the caste of assassins must make his own kill; it is in their codes." --Slave Girl of Gor, page
206
By the code, this caste is not allowed to bear arms; they are not permitted to injure or kill.
Which caste would this be?
"Initiates, incidentally, are not permitted by their caste codes to bear arms; nor are they
permitted to injure or kill; accordingly, they hire men for these purposes." --Assassin of Gor,
page 250
The young peasant has challenged the current leader for control of the peasant caste in a
small village. The challenger declined the test of five arrows. He is now challenged to the test
of knives. What is this challenge?
"'I am caste leader,' said Bran Loort.
'In what village is that?' asked Thurnus.
'In Tabuk's Ford,' said Bran Loort, angrily.
'Have you conveyed this intelligence to Thurnus of Tabuk's Ford?' inquired Thurnus.
'I do so now,' said Bran Loort. 'I am first in Tabuk's Ford.'
'I speak for Thurnus, caste leader in the village of Tabuk's Ford,' said Thurnus. 'He speaks it
not so.'
'I am first here,' said Bran Loort.
'In the name of Thurnus, he of the peasants, caste leader of the village of Tabuk's Ford,'
said Thurnus, 'I speak. He, Thurnus, is first.'
'I am first!' cried Bran Loort.
'No,' said Thurnus.
Bran Loort turned white.
'Will it be the test of five arrows?' asked Thurnus.
In this the villagers, with the exception of the two contestants, leave the village and the gate
is closed. Each contestant carries in the village his bow, the great bow, the peasant bow, and
five arrows. He who opens the gate to readmit the villagers is caste leader.
'No,' said Bran Loort, uneasily. He did not care to face the bow of Thurnus. The skill of
Thurnus with the great bow was legendary, even among peasants.'
'Then,' asked Thurnus, 'it will be the test of knives?'
In this the two men leave the village and enter, from opposite sides, a darkened wood. He
who returns to the village is caste leader.
'No,' said Bran Loort. Few men, I thought, would care to meet Thurnus in the darkness of
the woods armed with steel. The peasant is a part of the land. He can be like a rock or a tree.
Or the lightning that can strike without warning from the dark sky." --Slave Girl of Gor, pages
259-260
You see a young woman, aged 15 or 16, known to be of the caste of physicians. On her left
wrist, you see two bracelets. Is there a significance to these bracelets?
"The woman of the Physicians, at the age of fifteen, in many cities, wears two bracelets on
her left wrist. When she has one child one bracelet is removed; when she has a second child
the second bracelet is removed.." --Fighting Slave of Gor, page 214

ABOUT THE NEW VOICE OF GOR
(OOC) FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION
Is the NEW VOICE OF GOR OOC or IC?
This newspaper is available IN CHARACTER at message boards in several cities. But it has
OOC parts and IC parts which can be identified although many people mix both. We try to
keep the two separate. But if you start a storyline based on an IC article of the NEW VOICE
OF GOR it would be useful for a moderator to have a log where you have read the message
ICly.
The NEW VOICE OF GOR can be true or false, propaganda or journalism like on earth.
There is no freedom of the press on Gor. Why let the truth get in the way of a good story?!
"Goreans were not always fooled by posts on boards.
Those who control the public boards, it is said, control the city.
But I was not sure of this.
Goreans are not stupid.
It is difficult to fool them more than once. They tend to remember."
(Magicians of Gor)
Why is "publicare et propagare" the motto of the NEW VOICE OF GOR?
You all know that Goreans use message boards to spread news, announcements and gossip.
Such are found at various points in Ar, such as the vicinity of squares and plazas, near
markets, and on major streets and avenues.
Books are rare on Gor and expensive. Paper is the essential trade good of the Rencers and
they sell their wares on both the eastern and western edges of the Delta of the Vosk river. The
NEW VOICE OF GOR is a collection of rence paper scrolls but the editor paid some message
boards too to spread the newspaper. Gorean Public Boards sometimes made people angry.
Those who control the public boards, it is said, control the city.
We took our motto from the Acta Diurna [latin: Daily Acts sometimes translated as Daily Public
Records] on earth. The Acta Diurna were daily official notices in ancient Rome, a sort of daily
gazette. They were carved on stone or metal and presented in message boards in public
places like the Forum of Rome.
Acta Diurna introduced the expression "publicare et propagare", which means "make public
and propagate". This expression was set in the end of the texts and proclaimed a release to
both Roman citizens and non-citizens.
