It was fortunate, I gathered, for the economy of Gor, particularly the south, that the city had not been destroyed. - (Captive of Gor, Chapter 11, Sentence #132)

The Lady Rena put down her head, weeping. Turia, I had heard, had not been destroyed. Indeed, I had heard that it now stood once again, much as before, the sovereign city of the southern plains, and that much of its wealth, by exchanges and trading, had been regained. It was fortunate, I gathered, for the economy of Gor, particularly the south, that the city had not been destroyed. Much of the hides, the horn and leather which found its way northward came from Turia, obtained from the Wagon Peoples of the treeless southern plains, and many of the manufactured goods, and goods of price, which found their way to the far south, and even to the Wagon Peoples, were produced in, or passed through, Turia. Perhaps the Tuchuks, one of the fierce Wagon Peoples, traditional enemies of Turia, her conquerors, had spared her for such reasons, that they might have outlet for their goods and a source for goods they could not well manufacture, or acquire, for themselves. It was still dangerous, however, to take caravans to Turia. - (Captive of Gor)
