4 31 The tarn continued to climb, and I saw the City of Cylinders dropping far below me, like a set of rounded children's blocks set in the gleaming green hills.
Details
10
4 33 I looked below and saw the Older Tarl, mounted on his own tarn, climbing to overtake me.
Details
10
4 37 The hills and plains of Gor were a blaze of colors far below me, and it may have been my imagination, but it seemed almost as if I could see the curve of the world.

10
5 177 I was suddenly aware, dizzily conscious, that one of the enemy tarns was sinking downward, flopping wildly, falling into the recesses of the swamp forest below.
Details
10
5 184 The warrior could no longer control the mount, and I saw the tarn dropping awkwardly, descending in drunken circles to the darkness below.

7 201 "If you had been a true warrior," she said, "you would have taken me on the back of your tarn, above the clouds, even before we had passed the outermost ramparts of Ar, and you would have thrown my robes to the streets below to show my people what had been the fate of the daughter of their Ubar".

11 3 As the caravan mounted a rise, we saw spread far below us, on the banks of the Vosk, a sight of incredible barbaric splendor—pasangs of brightly colored tents stretching as far as the eye could see, a vast assemblage of tents housing one of the greatest armies ever gathered on the plains of G...

11 9 It was I who had stolen the Home Stone of Ar, who had brought about the downfall of Marlenus, the Ubar, who had set the spark that had brought Ar to anarchy and the vultures below to feed on the divided carcass of what had been Gor's greatest city.
Details
10
12 62 It was far more likely that one of the water lizards of the Vosk or one of the great hook-beaked turtles of the river would seize my body and drag it and the frame under the water, destroying me in the mud below.
Details
10
12 89 Far below, I could see that the burned, dead Margin of Desolation was dotted here and there with patches of green, where some handfuls of seed had blindly asserted themselves, reclaiming something of that devastated country for life and growth.
Details
10
12 102 I began to drop toward the wastes below.
Details
10
12 122 That he might soon change his mind, particularly if he found nothing on the plains below, was only too obvious.
Details
10
12 124 I examined the ledge for some means of escape, but the cliffs above and below were almost smooth.
Details
10
12 138 I withdrew the weapon and, using it as a lever, rolled the twitching body to the brink of the ledge and sent it flopping to the depths below.
Details
10
13 11 As I was drawing on the two-strap, to guide the tarn to Ko-ro-ba, I saw something I did not expect to see, something directly below, which startled me.
Details
10
13 12 Shielded among the crags of the Voltai, invisible except from directly above, I saw four or five small cooking fires, such as might mark the camp of a mountain patrol or a small company of hunters, perhaps after the agile and bellicose Gorean mountain goat, the long-haired, spiral-horned verr, or, m...
Details
10
13 14 It did not seem likely that one of Ar's patrols would be presently bivouacked in the Voltai, nor did it seem likely the fires below would be those of hunters.
Details
10
13 20 As the tarn wheeled upward, I heard the wild, uncanny hunting cry of the larl, piercing the dusk from somewhere in the peaks below.
Details
10
13 25 The light of the three moons was bright that night, and in the resultant exotic patchwork of shadows below, I caught sight of one of the larls, padding softly along, its body almost white in the moonlight.
Details
10
14 152 In a moment, given the wild motion of the bird, the entire saddle, to which the tarnsman was fixed by the saddle straps, slid from the bird's back and flew wildly into the depths below.
Details
10
16 20 In these battles the skies would be filled with tarnsmen, from Ar and from the camp, firing into the massed warriors below, engaging one another in savage duels hundreds of feet in the air.
Details
10
17 30 I truly believe that the brave men of Ar, in their valorous if blind love for their city, would have maintained the walls until the last slain warrior had been thrown from them to the streets below, but the Initiates would not have it so.
Details
10
18 16 But first, as part of my plan, I raced my tarn directly for the walls of Ar, swiftly passing the slow procession on the plains below.
Details
10
18 157 Leaving my tarn below, I climbed the stairs, my sword drawn.
Details
10
18 161 Some of the guardsmen had undoubtedly fought below with the tarns.

19 12 "Look!" cried Marlenus, pointing below.

10
19 22 He had brought his tarn to flight and was descending to the streets below to rally the dispirited citizens of Ar, to call them again to arms, to challenge them to renounce the treacherous authority of the self-seeking Initiates, to strike again their blow for freedom, to die rather than yield their ...

19 65 I was conscious of distant shouting in the streets far below.
Details
10
19 68 "Men of Ar," I cried, "listen! Even now, in the streets below, Marlenus, your Ubar, fights for the freedom of Ar!" The men of Ar looked at one another.

19 118 From far below, the distant shouts of fighting in the streets drifted upward.

Book 2. (35 results) Outlaw of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
5 120 Like every man of Gor I knew the direction of the Sardar Mountains, home of the Priest-Kings, a forbidden vastness which no man below the mountains, no mortal, may penetrate.
Details
10
6 2 Whereas the Men Below the Mountains, as the mortals are called, seldom enter the mountains, and do not return when they do, many often venture to their brink, if only to stand within the shadows of those cliffs that hide the secrets of the Priest-Kings.

10
6 4 Four times a year, correlated with the solstices and equinoxes, there are fairs held in the plains below the mountains, presided over by committees of Initiates, fairs in which men of many cities mingle without bloodshed, times of truce, times of contests and games, of bargaining and marketing.
Details
10
6 13 The tharlarions become unmanageable, and, though the tarn will essay the flight, the bird almost immediately becomes disoriented, uncoordinated, and drops screaming back to the plains below.
Details
10
10 46 Some twenty feet below the level of the door, in the absolute darkness, with brutal impact, I struck bottom, a stone floor covered with wet straw.
Details
10
12 5 I had no idea how far below ground it might be.
Details
10
14 2 The other prisoners, still yoked, had been whipped from the arena, to the dungeons below, to be used yet again in the Amusements of Tharna, or perhaps sent to the mines.
Details
10
14 156 Some spears fell in lazy loops below us, short by far, falling back again into the gala-colored sand of the arena.
Details
10
14 157 There were cries of rage that drifted up from below as the silver masks of Tharna began to understand that they had been cheated of their prey, that the Amusements had turned out badly.
Details
10
14 185 When he spots a tabuk in the fields below, or, indeed, any animal in the prey range of the tarn, he may cry "Tabuk!" and this is the signal that the tarn may hunt.
Details
10
14 195 Far below in the midst of the crowd I caught sight of the golden robes of the Tatrix.
Details
10
14 204 There were shrill screams of terror from below.
Details
10
14 205 On every hand, robes and regalia flying, the silver masks of Tharna which had so insolently screamed but moments before for blood fled now for their lives in panic-stricken rout, trampling one another, scratching and tearing at one another, scrambling over the benches, thrusting one another even ove...
Details
10
15 17 I watched the pasangs flow by below, and saw Tharna disappear in the distance.
Details
10
15 51 In perhaps ten minutes the ridges were almost below us.
Details
10
15 61 "Tabuk!" I cried again, taking the great beak in my hands and turning it toward the open fields below.
Details
10
15 64 With one last look at the Tatrix, the bird turned and stalked to the brink of that awesome ledge and, with a single snap of its great wings, leaped into space, its soaring shadow a message of terror to any game below.
Details
10
15 97 "Let us hope it finds something to eat in the fields below".
Details
10
15 152 I picked up a small rock and threw it from the ledge, watching it sail toward the fields below.
Details
10
15 232 I gathered that it had already fed somewhere on the plains below.
Details
10
18 153 "Hurry! Hurry!" cried the voice of a man still below, a hoarse, terrified cry.
Details
10
18 156 He cried out in fear, "It's coming, all of it!" "Brace yourselves!" I shouted to those above and below me.
Details
10
19 2 We had found him at the valve which emptied the reservoir of water into the slave dungeon more than two hundred feet below.
Details
10
19 35 We heard his body hit the sides a dozen times, and his frightened scream fading, only to be silenced by the distant, hollow splash in the water far below.
Details
10
19 42 A slave who had carried tubs of food to the troughs below was only too pleased to guide us.
Details
10
19 44 Our mine opened on it perhaps a thousand feet below the surface.
Details
10
19 46 The men crowded out onto the floor of the shaft, which lay only a foot below the opening of our mine, for our mine was the lowest of all.
Details
10
19 66 I was proud when I saw that my slaves had defended the valve, for about it lay the bodies of soldiers who had tried to reach it; but I was most proud when I realized that the slaves had not now opened the valve, when they knew that below, in the confines of those dismal shafts and cells, chained and...

19 69 I wondered if they would understand that such an action was beneath the hand of a truly free man, and that the men who fought them—who had conquered on this windy and cold night, who had fought like larls in the darkness of the tunnels below, who had not sought their own safety but the libera...

23 92 As we flew, many were the fields of charred Sa-Tarna we saw below us.

25 146 I watched the basket swinging below the bird as it winged its way from the city.
Details
10
26 5 I shall strike with my spear upon the gate and the gate will open, and as I enter I will hear the mournful sound of the great hollow bar that hangs by the gate, signifying that another of the Men Below the Mountains, another mortal man, has dared to enter the Sardar.
Details

26 22 Many silver masks were discovered hiding in obscure chambers in the palace itself and the dungeons below the palace were soon filled with chains of fair, lamenting prisoners.

Book 3. (53 results) Priest-Kings of Gor

Chapter # Sentence # Quote Confidence
1 6 It had been caught in the shield of the Priest-Kings, invisible, not to be evaded, undoubtedly a field of some sort, which had so acted on the bird, perhaps affecting the mechanism of the inner ear, that the creature had become incapable of controlling itself and had fallen disoriented and confused ...

1 13 It was not far to the fair of En'Kara, one of the four great fairs held in the shadow of the Sardar during the Gorean year, and I soon walked slowly down the long central avenue between the tents, the booths and stalls, the pavilions and stockades of the fair, toward the high, brassbound timber gate...

2 79 None of the men below the mountains, the mortals, had ever succeeded in taming a larl.

10
2 113 I remembered that the boulders below were huge but from my present height they looked like grains of black sand.
Details
10
2 126 I wondered how many men might have turned back at this point, and I remembered the innumerable white, frozen bones on the cliffs below.
Details
10
3 8 Their upper canine fangs, like daggers mounted in their jaws, must have been at least a foot in length and extended well below their jaws in the manner of ancient saber-toothed tigers.

3 35 One side of this area was formed by the sheer cliff which had been on my right and now curved about making a sort of cup of stone; the other side, on my left, lay partly open to the frightful drop below, but was partly enclosed by another cliff, the side of a second mountain, which impinged on the o...

10
4 5 There was nothing in the lighting of the passage, or its construction, to suggest that the Priest-Kings' Caste of Builders, if they had one, was any more advanced than that of the men below the mountains.
Details
10
4 6 Too, the passage was devoid of ornament, lacking the mosaics and tapestries with which the beauty-loving Goreans below the mountains are wont to glorify the places of their own habitation.
Details
10
10 121 My eyes still did not leave the dominion which lay below me.
Details
10
11 71 "Do the men below the mountains do as much for their animals?" asked Misk.
Details
10
14 111 He would still hear nothing of this and seemed firm that I should not fall below ten.
Details
10
15 9 The walls a few feet below the level of Misk's compartment became damp.
Details
10
15 14 When I arrived at the bottom of the rope, some forty feet below, I held the torch over my head and found myself in a bare, simple chamber.
Details
10
16 30 "So much the better," said Misk, "for the Men below the Mountains are then confused and fear us even more—but the members of the Caste of Initiates, we have found, will produce an explanation of why the city was destroyed.
Details
10
16 75 "It is said below the mountains that Priest-Kings know all that occurs on Gor".
Details
10
17 168 "What if I claimed it was?" "Then I should reply," said Sarm, "that nothing below a Priest-King is truly rational".
Details
10
18 99 With one brush of a foreleg he might have sent me hurtling to my death some hundreds of feet below.
Details
10
18 104 At last we had reached the very apex of the great blue dome and I could see the glowing, bluish, refulgent, reticulated hemisphere far below me.
Details
10
18 114 I then realized that he had touched himself at the points of entry taken by the wires which had been infixed in the young Priest-King's body on the stone table in the secret compartment below Misk's chamber.
Details
10
18 122 Sarm, standing on that high platform with me, over the bluish dome, over the refulgent power source so far below, lifted his antennae and turned, sweeping them over this vast, intricate, beautiful, formidable domain.
Details
10
18 124 I wondered if hurling my weight against Sarm I might have tumbled him from that platform to his death far below.
Details
10
18 139 I looked about myself at the incredible complex which lay below me.
Details
10
21 59 The strange procession to and fro up the walls and across the ceiling to Priest-Kings and back down to the floor continued for more than an hour, during which time the Muls who stood below, some of them having returned with a full vessel, never ceased to chant their mournful paean.
Details
10
21 62 Finally the last of the unusual Muls stood below on the stone flooring.
Details
10
22 7 I could see the figures of Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta beneath me, perhaps a hundred and fifty feet below.
Details
10
22 17 I heard the bar I had just left slide out and fall like its predecessor to the stone floor below.
Details
10
22 18 I looked down and saw Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta standing below, looking up.
Details
10
23 37 These extended in a line along her left side, reaching from the interior of her left thigh to her waist to a few inches below her shoulder.
Details
10
27 16 Outside I thrust the red plastic garment I had worn into the first disposal chute I found whence it would be whisked away pneumatically to the distant incinerators that burned somewhere below the Nest.
Details
10
27 32 I wondered about the young male Priest-King in the secret chamber below Misk's compartment.
Details
10
28 247 Misk seized me and with the harrowing speed of the Priest-King leaped across the room, buffeting the case I had occupied ten yards across the chamber, bent down and flung up the trap and, carrying me, darted into the passage below.
Details
10
28 249 Misk clung to the wall below the trap door, holding me to his thorax.
Details
10
29 58 This time, should I dive again, I knew it would be impossible to conceal my position from them, for they would then know I was below them and at least one of the ships would be almost certain to cover me with its weapon.
Details
10
29 62 The ceiling of the complex leapt away from above me and I found myself in the very center of the six ships, surrounded on the four sides, and above and below.
Details
10
29 116 Then without warning it seemed the stern of my craft vanished and I felt the deck suddenly give way and as half of the craft vanished in powder and the other half crumbled to the buildings below I seized the silver tube from the firing port and leaped downward to the back of the enemy ship.
Details
10
29 119 Probably the pilots had heard wreckage hit their ship and were banking to drop it into the streets below, or perhaps they were actually aware that I had boarded them.
Details
10
31 139 His weapon fired again, slicing through the top of the dome in his vicinity and striking beneath me, melting a hole in the dome below me.
Details
10
31 151 I saw him toss the silver tube away, and saw it fall through one of the great holes he had blasted in the globe and disappear in the violent, bubbling purple mass seething below.
Details
10
31 176 I could not leap to the sides, for there was only the smooth sheer curve of the blue globe and I would slide to my death and fall like one of the stones from the roof above to the dusty, smoking rubble below.
Details
10
31 181 Drifts of rock powder hung in the air, fitted stone tumbled to the flooring far below, the walls trembled, the very globe and walkway fastened to it seemed to shift and shudder.
Details
10
31 196 Behind me, inching its way up the narrow walkway, clinging with its six small legs, slowly lifting its heavy domelike golden body a step at a time, came the Golden Beetle I had seen below.
Details
10
31 199 The steel bar fell from Sarm's appendage and slid from the top of the dome to fall with a distant crash far below in the rubble.
Details
10
31 216 More rock tumbled to the dome and bounced clattering to the debris below.
Details
10
31 231 One last time he looked about himself, his antennae surveying the grandeur of the Nest, and then tumbled from the walkway and fell to the surface of the globe and slid until he fell to the rubble below.
Details
10
31 234 With my foot I tumbled its heavy body from the walkway and watched it slide down the side of the globe and fall like Sarm to the rubble below.
Details
10
31 236 Far below, at the door to the chamber, I could see the golden figures of Priest-Kings, Misk among them.
Details
10
32 206 There were no hanging cables in the shaft and I could see the shattered roof of the elevator some half a hundred feet below.
Details
10
32 214 When he had first spoken to me I knew now he would have been under the control of Priest-Kings, that his control net would have been activated and his words and actions dictated, at least substantially, from the Scanning Room below, but now the Scanning Room, like most of the Nest, was demolished, a...

10
32 216 Vika still lay unconscious in my arms and I had folded her robes about her in order to protect her face and eyes and throat from the rock dust below.

10
35 26 I stood below him, looking up, the wind lifting and tugging at my hair.

10 296 "I, Hereena of the First Wagon, am superior," she was crying, "to those two Kassar she-kaiila!" But the judge was already four stakes below her.

12 518 I found the paga bottle and noted that there was a bit of liquid left in it, below the neck of the bottle.

10
14 38 I saw that a yellow lantern was halfway up the pole below the two red lanterns.

10
18 21 If my arm should fly forward he would have time to leap below the wooden frame.
Details
10
18 63 Finally I was literally digging in it feet below the surface.
Details
10
18 69 Now below me the fluid began to gel swiftly almost like a rising floor and it loosened and withdrew on all sides and suddenly my head broke the surface and I breathed.
Details
10
18 109 He had, running swiftly, climbed up the outside of a dome concentric to the one below, and was there looking about.
Details
10
20 33 It stood some seventy feet from any of the other buildings in the compound that was the House of Saphrar, but now, swaying, formed of rope and sticks, a removable footbridge extended from an open door in its side to a porch some several feet below us.
Details
10
20 73 Then there was a horrified cry as one rope was cut and the flooring of the bridge suddenly pitched, throwing several of the guardsmen to the ground below.
Details
10
20 81 Then I emerged in the chamber below the roof of the keep and there found Harold, sitting on the bottom rung of the last ladder, breathing heavily, Hereena lying squirming at his feet.
Details
10
20 97 "What is the trouble below?" he asked.
Details
10
20 100 He then tumbled the guard down the trap to the level below.
Details
10
20 109 "Below," Harold informed him.
Details
10
20 155 I took one long turn, seeing the torches and lights in the House of Saphrar below, and then guided my bird out over the prairie in the direction of the wagons of the Tuchuks.
Details
10
20 159 Then, in the dawn, we saw the wagons below us, and the bosk beyond them.
Details
10
21 85 I heard the running feet of the two warriors, and then of six more men, pass in the street below.
Details
10
21 87 I heard some speculative conversation in the street below, between two or three passersby, then it seemed quiet.
Details
10
21 102 I picked up the melody and whistled a few bars, and then the person below joined me and we finished the tune together.
Details
10
21 104 The street was deserted save for a girl, who was standing below, looking up toward the roof.
Details
10
21 195 She leaned over the parapet, looking skeptically down at the stones some hundred feet below.
Details
10
21 215 This train of thought was interrupted by the sounds of an altercation below, the shouting of an annoyed guardsman at the gate, the protesting cries of the driver of the merchant wagon.
Details
10
21 223 Dina was still watching the broil below and laughing, for the driver seemed so utterly distressed and apologetic, cringing and dancing about and scraping before the irate officer.
Details
10
21 225 Even the guards and townsfolk here and there on the wall seemed now to be watching the stalled wagon below.
Details
10
26 41 I heard the rustling of men below in the streets, the checking of arms.
Details
10
26 64 It was now clearly light in the east, and I could see the faces of men below me, some of them carrying rope ladders with metal hooks at the ends, others scaling ladders.
Details
10
26 72 I thought this might signal the beginning of the storming of the compound, but none of the men below moved.
Details
10
26 74 They filed before us in the street below, each under the contemptuous eyes of the warriors of the Wagon Peoples, each in turn going to a long table whereon were placed many pairs of scales, and each at that table was weighed out four Gorean stone of gold, about six Earth pounds, which he put in his ...

5 38 I was not altogether without an expedient, however, as, upon examination, I discovered that the door had, as well as the latch string hole, another small hole bored below the latch bar, doubtless put there by someone who had used the room before myself.
Details
10
5 39 "This permits," I said to Elizabeth, indicating the small hole below the latch bar, "the complex knot".
Details
10
5 90 I then untied the knot, slipped the cords through the hole below the latch bar, swung the door shut and set the two beams in place, securing it.

6 20 It had been expected, I gathered, that I would sit at one of the two long side tables, and perhaps even below the bowls of red and yellow salt which divided these tables.

10 32 On the way down the stairs to the lower portions of the cylinder, several floors of which, incidentally, are below ground level, we passed the office of Caprus.

10
11 8 Ho-Tu led the way, moving from catwalk to catwalk, spanning cages below.
Details
10
11 15 The pens seemed humid and, though we were below ground, warm from the heat of the bodies.
Details
10
11 16 The only sanitation facility was an open metal mesh, supported by close-set horizontal bars, in the bottom of the cages, beneath which, some five feet below, was a cement floor, washed down and cleaned by slaves once daily.

10
11 70 One of the smiths from below was summoned with a bowl of slave porridge, which he mixed half with water, and stirred well, so that it could be drunk.

11 136 When Ho-Tu held his torch to the third cell from the end, above that of the girl below, the Italian, the girl inside cried out and scrambled to the back of the cage, weeping, pressing herself against the cement, scratching at it.

12 10 The wing of one bird was apparently broken, for the netmen, after binding it, quickly cut its throat, the blood falling through the net, staining it, soaking into the sand below in a brownish red patch.

12 11 Its rider took the saddle and control straps from the still-quivering bird and dropped with them through the broad strands of the net, to the sand some six feet below.

12 109 "Candies!" I looked down and was startled to see, some four tiers below, not seeing me, the pathetic, stubby, bulbous little body of Hup the Fool, limping and hopping about in the aisle, his large head on the fat little body lolling one way or another, the tongue occasionally, suddenly, unexpectedly...

12 137 If four tarns were flown perfectly, one above, one below, and one on each side, four could just pass through one of the round rings; one of the objects of course is to maneuver the tarn in such a way that it takes the center of the ring, or forces the following bird to strike the ring or miss it alt...

13 240 Food for the tarns, which is meat, for that is their diet, is thrust on hooks and hauled by chain and windlass to the various perches; it might be of interest to note that, when any of the birds are free, meat is never placed on the hooks or on the floor below; the racing tarn is a valuable bird and...

13 248 I could see the large, beamlike tarn perch extending from the portal, out over the street far below.

13 258 The street seemed to loop and swing below me.
Details
10
13 259 I could see the torches of two or three men moving together far below.
Details
10
13 309 Then Mip turned his bird and it seemed to veer and slide through the air, the cylinders below slicing to the right, and he brought it to rest on a great rail above and behind the highest tier on Ar's Stadium of Tarns, where that afternoon I had watched the races.

10
13 334 When we were finished I stepped again out onto the perch extending from the portal in the cot, that perch fixed far above the street below.

10
13 367 I was keenly aware of the height of the perch, the street far below.
Details
10
13 368 I heard two men hailing one another below.

16 168 I bounded down the ramp, three turns, and managed to seize a fellow by the neck and arm and fling him some dozen feet to the next landing below, who had been rushing on Ho-Sorl from behind.

16 197 He may not have noticed that she knelt on the tier below us, her head down, her face in her hands, sobbing.

10
16 231 Throughout the stands, startling those multitudes, unsettling the other birds being drawn by the horned tharlarion on the low carts, there was heard the sudden shrill, ringing challenge scream of a tarn, unhooded, a giant tarn, black, a wild mountain cry of one of Gor's fiercest, most beautiful pred...

10
16 269 The tarn, that predator, gently lowered its head, and I put my head against its head, below its round, gleaming right eye, and, within the leather hood, unseen, I wept.

17 153 After each race Mip, in detail, would discuss my riding, making suggestions; before each race, he would explain to me what he knew of the habits of the riders and tarns I faced, which was almost invariably a great deal; he taught me to recognize for myself certain faults in other riders, certain exp...

19 215 Below, in the darkness, there came the sudden, startling, savage report of a slave whip, snapped three times.
Details
10
19 473 I heard the sound of a slave whip below the block, the hysterical, wild sobbing and screaming of a slave girl.
Details
10
21 414 I looked back down the long valley of stone tiers to the sands far below, seeing there in the circle of the arena, seeming small, Murmillius, Ho-Sorl, Relius, Ho-Tu, the milling, stirring crowd.

10
22 165 Menicius of Port Kar, riding for the Yellows, tearing at the control straps of his bird, tarn goad showering sparks to the sand below, tarn screaming, fought his way, birds buffeting, past the Silver trying to regain the center of the rings.

22 563 The Red, cursing, tried to force us up, where we might strike the unpadded bar; at our speed we might be cut in two; my tarn struggled to avoid the bar, not turning to do battle, but persisting in his race; I was suddenly aware of the arm of Menicius flying forward and I instinctively threw myself f...

15 217 We heard, some sixty feet below us, a Kur scraping with its claws on the mountain below us, feeling for crevices or chinks.
Details
10
15 239 The first Kur was some eight or ten feet below us when, suddenly, it slipped on the rock and, with a wild shriek, scratching at the stone, slid some four feet downward and then plunged backward, turning in the air, howling, and, some five Ihn later, struck the rocks far below.

3 289 The Forkbeard, his left hand in her hair, his right hand just below the head of the ax, grinned at Gurt.

10
5 131 Then, by her fettered wrists, she moaning, her naked body twisting against the mast, foot by foot, she was drawn to five feet below the spar.

6 330 The center of the hall, down its length, is dug out about a foot below the ground level.
Details
10
6 335 Thus, in a sense, the hall proper is about a foot below ground level, and the sleeping level, on each side, is at the ground level, where the walls begin.

6 391 They were extremely powerful, and highly intelligent, though their intellectual capacities, like those of humans, were far below those of Priest-Kings.

8 48 Another custom, long practiced in the far south, below the Gorean equator, in Turia, for example, is the piercing of the ears of the female slave; this custom, though of long standing in the far south, did not begin to spread with rapidity in the north until, again, it was introduced in Ar.

8 175 Below, at the nineteenth hour, in the longboat of Ivar's ship, was Gorm, with four oarsmen.

10 94 Sometimes, in the south, female slaves are dressed in the robes of free women, even veiled, and taken by their masters to see tarn races, or games, or song-dramas; many assume that she, sitting regally by his side, is a companion, or being courted for the companionship; only he and she know that the...

11 5 Just below the top of the small hill, cut into the hill, there was a level, stone-paved platform, some twelve feet by twelve feet in dimension.
Details
10
12 18 About them, some on the dais, and some below it, stood his high officers, and his men of law, his counselors, his captains, and the chief men from his scattered farms and holdings; too, much in evidence, were more than four hundred of his men-at-arms.
Details
10
13 18 Those sitting above the salt were accorded greater prestige than those sitting below it.
Details
10
13 19 If one sat between the salt and the high seat, one sat "above" the salt; if one sat between the salt and the entrance to the hall, one sat "below" the salt.
Details
10
13 21 Similarly, at the tables parallel to the high-seat table, smaller tables flanking the long fire on both sides, the tables nearest the high seat counted as being above the salt, those farthest away being below the salt.
Details
10
13 23 The line, so to speak, imaginary to be sure, but definitely felt as a social reality, dividing those above from those below the salt, was uniformly "drawn" across the width of the hall.
Details
10
13 24 Thus, it was not the case that one at a long side table, who was above the salt, would be farther away from the high seat than one at one of the center tables, who was "below" the salt.
Details
10
13 114 "You frown upon me, and would put me below the salt," said Ivar Forkbeard, "because I am outlaw".

14 58 It was my hope that she, and the others, could manage to slip away somehow, perhaps climbing to the catwalk, and dropping over the side of the palisade to the ground below.

10
14 107 I heard a scream from a height, and, looking up, saw a human thrown from the balcony which ringed the hall, some thirty feet above the dirt floor, some ten feet below the roof beams.
Details
10
14 250 I heard a Kur below me scream with pain; I looked down, and hauled myself up to avoid the stroke of an ax; one Kur reeled about; the left side of its furred head, wet, drenched in oil, was aflame; it screamed hideously; it clawed at its left eye.
Details
10
14 257 Part of the roof fell away, tumbling burning to the ground below.

10
14 263 Four Kurii, climbing, two leaping free, two clinging to the chain, fell to the earth below.
Details
10
14 265 Below, covered with sparks, scarcely visible in the smoke, I saw Kurii looking up, cheated of their prey.
Details
10
15 160 Below us we heard Kurii, seeing him, howl with pleasure.

10
15 162 Then all of them stood below, leaping, lifting their arms.
Details
10
15 180 I heard a Kur climbing below me.
Details
10
15 189 He seemed to have an uncanny sense for locating tiny ledges and cuts in the stone which were almost invisible from even two or three feet below.
Details
10
15 224 Below us I heard a snarl of frustration.
Details
10
15 230 I did not envy the Kur below.

15 236 Behind the first Kur, some feet below, was a second.

15 241 The second Kur was some twenty-five feet below.

15 244 It, like its confrere, fell to the rocks below.

15 249 The other two Kurii crouched below on the slopes, looking up.

15 315 Not long after we had again taken to the rocks, we heard and saw the Kurii, some two hundred feet below and to one side, following us.

10
15 391 Ivar turned and leaped to the ledge below, joining me.

17 3 Below us, in the valley, spread out for more than ten pasangs we saw the encampment of Kurii.

17 77 Below us, in the valley, we could see the coals of thousands of fires in the camp of the Kurii.
