Panic, like wind and darkness, swept the streets. - (Quarry of Gor, Chapter 11, Sentence #52)

There are few who have met the long, low, swift, knifelike ram ships of Port Kar, often painted green, which color blends in with many of the moods of Thassa, either as corsairs or attack vessels, who do not respect, even dread and fear them. As the story goes, Cos and Tyros, some years ago, built, equipped, manned, and launched a mighty fleet, to destroy Port Kar, to be done at last with "the Scourge of Thassa". This fleet was not only massive and formidable, but was generally seen as invincible. Panic, like wind and darkness, swept the streets. Goods were hastily gathered together, crated, and bundled. Ships were frenziedly readied for escape. As scavengers flee from the killing beast come to reclaim his prize, as urts speed from the path of the stalking larl, as bandits hasten to elude nearing, searching, avenging guardsmen, so the thieves, brigands, rowdies, miscreants, cheats, liars, cowards, and criminals of Port Kar, men without a Home Stone, prepared to burn and abandon their city. - (Quarry of Gor)
