How could it have entered the mountains? Perhaps it was native. - (Priest-Kings of Gor, Chapter 2, Sentence #75)

I had once killed a male red larl in the Voltai Range within pasangs of the city of Ar. Now hearing the growl of such a beast, I threw back my cloak, lifted my shield and held my spear ready. I was puzzled that I might encounter a larl in the Sardar. How could it have entered the mountains? Perhaps it was native. But on what could it live among these barren crags? For I had seen nothing on which it might prey, unless one might count the men who had entered the mountains, but their bones, scattered, white and frozen, were unsplintered and unfurrowed; they showed no evidence of having suffered the molestation of a larl's gnawing jaws. I then understood that the larl I had heard must be a larl of Priest-Kings, for no animal and no man enters or exists in the Sardar without the consent of Priest-Kings, and if it was fed it must be at the hand of Priest-Kings or their servants. In spite of my hatred of Priest-Kings I could not help but admire them. - (Priest-Kings of Gor)
