Gor trivia only.
What is invisible, but more beautiful than diamonds. That which is silent but deafens thunder. That which depresses no scale, but is weightier than gold?
-
*Chuckles*
:-X
-
There is probably a right answer.....and this isn't it............-chuckles- I suck at trivia.......
A good Attitude...
-
Of course there is a right answer, Sis. -lol- And it ain't 42 either. Nope.. not a good attitude.
-
Honor.
-
Yup. Your go, Sistah.
-
What is the name of the Gorean funeral procession song and dance?
-
There isn't one. The procession was silent, as it was not time for such things as singing.
-
Correct! Your turn.
The procession did not chant, nor ding, for this was not a time for such things, nor did it carry boughs of Ka-la-na, nor were the sounds of the sista or tambor heard in the sunlight that morning. At such a time as this Goreans do not sing nor speak. They are silent, for at such a time words mean nothing, and would demean or insult; in such a time there can be for Goreans only silence, memory and fire. -- Assassin, Page 2

not to derail or anything- but if that is the case, what is the blue sky song from? is that an onlineism?
-
We do things a little different here. What that is describing a funeral procession in a city to be specific.
-
Also we don't sing during the actual procession. it's when the pyre that is lit that the song is sung. But I could be wrong.
In the books there is only one drink served which is measured by rings on a goblet. What is the drink?
-
The Blue Sky song is often sung by Warriors of Tuchuk when they are dying and they know it, and are able.
The refrain of which is;
"that thought I die, yet there will be the bosk, the grass and sky".
-
Wine
-
Duh the Vintner gets it. Lol. Good job, Sis. Your go!
-
-lol-
What determines the women who stand at the stakes in the game of Love War?
-
Beauty dictates what girls are eligible for the Love War.
"As I knew, not just any girl, any more than just any warrior, could participate in the games of the Love War. Only the most beautiful were eligible, and only the most beautiful of these could be chosen."
Nomads of Gor, page 117
-
Correct Amber! ;D

-
Of all the Clans and Castes of Gor, which actually have pockets stitched to their belts?
Raz
-
Crap. I know this one.. Or at least I think I do.. Artists and Performers?
-
No
Raz
-
Clan of Thieves and/or Assassins?
-
Most Gorean outfits, including slave tunics, do not have pockets. One notable exception to this is the artisan.
-
Serinna has it.
The Caste of Black.
"Without speaking the man took twenty pieces of gold, tarn disks of Ar, of double weight, and gave them to Kuurus, who placed them in the pockets of his belt. The Assassins, unlike most castes, do not carry pouches."
Assassin of Gor Book 5 Page 4
kadi, the clue I gave was belt. Artisans did have pockets, upon their "garments" and "aprons", is why I said no to Amber.
Raz
-
-bumps- Waiting on you Serinna.
