Trivia Time

[RAGNAR]

Flat.

[Thalia]

Okies, since ancient Earthlings thought the earth was flat, for the longest time... than the five High Castes must have been given the knowledge that Gor was, in fact, round!

[kadi{MTC}]

yep Master and dee



On the other hand, the High Castes, specifically the Warriors, Builders, Scribes, Initiates, and Physicians, were told the truth in such matters, perhaps because it was thought they would eventually determine it for themselves, from observations such as the shadow of their planet on one or another of Gor's three small moons during eclipses, the phenomenon of sighting the tops of distant objects first, and the fact that certain stars could not be seen from certain geographical positions; if the planet had been FLAT, precisely the same set of stars would have been observable from every position on its surface.

It's Papa's go. -winks- He made the idea click.  I never would have gotten it otherwise!

Okies, hrm. -thinks-

What was the name of the Kurr with the golden armlet whom Tarl slew at the end of Marauders, and in what manner did he kill the beast?

[Shylina Marie]

The Kurrs name...........Rog

*            "May I present," inquired Telima, "Rog, emissary of peace from the Kurii."*

and He was killed with  Tuchuk Saddle Knife.....

*. Scarcely had it seen the flash of Tuchuk steel, the saddle knife, its blade balanced, nine inches in length, which had slipped from my sleeve, turned, and, hurled, struck him. It tottered, eyes wild, not understanding, then understanding, the hilt protruding from its chest, stopped only by the guard, the blade fixed in the vast eight-valved heart. It took two steps forward. Then it fell, the ax clattering on the stone*

[Thalia]

Your go!

It is said, in a Gorean proverb, that a man, in his heart, desires freedom, and that a woman, in her belly, yearns for love.
