4	42	The sand kaiila, or desert kaiila, is a kaiila, and handles similarly, but it is not identically the same animal which is indigenous, domestic and wild, in the middle latitudes of Gor's southern hemisphere; that animal, used as a mount by the Wagon Peoples, is not found in the northern hemisphere of...	10

1	482	"How long had he been on the desert?" "I do not know," said Ibn Saran.	10
1	483	"How well did he know the desert? How much water had he?" The man might have come thousands of pasangs before the kaiila had died, or fled.	10

2	37	The herds of these animals are found in the desert.	10

9	185	"As a free woman," said he, "I would have put her out into the desert.	10
9	194	"He," acknowledged the desert raider.	10
10	9	The protection tax helps to defray the cost of maintaining soldiers, who, nominally, at any rate, police the desert.	10
10	64	It is regarded as an almost inconceivable crime, surely the most heinous which might be perpetrated upon the desert.	10
10	66	Surely, in but a few days, word that Aretai tribesmen had destroyed, or attempted to destroy, a well at Two Scimitars would spread like fire across the desert, inflaming and outraging men from Tor to the Turian outpost, merchant fort, and trading station of Turmas.	10
10	69	The tribes, at the various oases, and in the desert, in their nomad territories, and at their kasbahs, would be summoned.	10

10	265	"It might have been hidden in the desert," suggested Hassan.	10
10	284	They are good fighters, good men of the desert.	10
10	329	"I thought," said he, "that when I stole your pretty little slave you would pursue me into the desert.	10
10	350	"Besides, why should you bring such a slave into the desert with you, a blond-haired, white-skinned, blue-eyed wench?" "Why?" I asked.	10
10	389	"I intend a venture into the desert," he said.	10
10	400	"What do you seek in the desert?" I asked.	10
11	12	For twenty days we had been upon the desert.	10
11	86	Then, it seems suddenly, the sky is black and wide and high and is rich with the reflected sands of stars, like clear bright diamonds burning in the soft, sable silence of the desert's innocent quietude.	10
11	187	I was familiar with two sorts of mirages on the desert, of the sort which might be, and often were, seen by normal individuals under normal circumstances, not the mirages of the dehydrated body, the sun-crazed brain, not private hallucinatory images.	10
11	188	The most common sort of mirage is simply the interpretation of heat waves, shimmering on the desert, as the ripples in water, as in a lake or pond.	10
11	206	It is thus not unusual that, in a desert situation, a calm, normal person may, misinterpreting physical cues, make an oasis, complete with buildings and trees, out of energies reflected over a heated surface from rock and brush.	10
11	244	Before me was nothing but the desert.	10
11	247	Before me was nothing but the desert.	10
11	319	Thus, if war should erupt between the high tribes, the conquering tribes, the entire desert might become engulfed in hostilities.	10
11	408	* * * * None, it seemed, at Red Rock had either seen, or heard, of so strange an architectural oddity as a tower of steel in the desert.	10
11	486	The desert looked white.	10
11	505	"Into the desert!" cried a woman.	10
11	656	"Run then to the desert," said Hassan.	10
11	697	We stood within a ring of mounted warriors, with purple and yellow burnooses, others behind them in more common desert garb.	10
12	30	Before the sun was high and the sands burning we reached her loot wagons, kept in the desert.	10
12	63	More than a pasang she ran me into the desert.	10
12	76	"Onward!" she cried, and the column, with loot and slaves, made its way toward the high, arched gate of her desert fortress.	10
12	303	"Do you find me pleasing," she asked, "out of mannish desert garb?" I regarded her.	10
12	554	Near the red silk I had cast aside, when donning the desert garments of the guard, on the tiles, I saw the vulgar, wooden, rounded, yellow slave beads, the necklace, which I had not chosen to permit being placed upon me.	10
13	65	The major protection and control of the Tahari salt, of course, lies in its remoteness, the salt districts, of which there are several, being scattered and isolated in the midst of the dune country, in the long caravan journeys required, and the difficulty or impossibility of obtaining it without kn...	10
13	66	A lesser protection and control of the salt, though a not unformidable one, lies in the policing of the desert by the Salt Ubar, or the Guard of the Dunes.	10
13	103	Their desert boots were removed by kneeling slave girls, who then, with lavers and veminium water, and oils, pouring and cleaning, washed their feet.	10
13	242	Suddenly I realized that this was the same girl who had been one of the pair captured by Hassan in the desert, shortly before I had first made his acquaintance.	10
13	268	"They fought well, with skill and savagery, and broke through to the desert beyond Red Rock".	10
14	24	Before mine had been locked under my chin I had seen the silver desert in its dawn.	10
14	29	Rocks on the desert, and the sheer walls of the Salt Ubar's kasbah, looming above us, shone with dew, common in the Tahari in the early morning, to be burned off in the first hour of the sun.	10
14	167	Dew shone on the plastered walls of the kasbah looming over me, on rocks scattered on the desert.	10
14	194	Thus, even if they thought they might live for a time in the desert, in trying to flee, they would have little idea of even the direction to take in their flight.	10
14	196	This disorientation tends to keep men at Klima; fewer of them, thus, die in the desert.	10
14	198	Mercifully, the hood tended to protect the head from the sun; one does not go bareheaded in the desert; secondly, the darkness of the hood, when the salt crusts were reached, prevented blindness, from the reflection of the Tahari sun off the layered, bleak, white surfaces.	10
14	227	"What is your charge in the desert, on behalf of Kurii?" I inquired.	10
14	230	"To precipitate war," said he, "between the Kavars and the Aretai, and their vassal tribes, to close the desert to strangers, intruders".	10
14	237	"So you enlist the desert on your behalf?" I said.	10
14	417	I saw the sky, grayish, the descending moons, the desert, and then the hood was pulled over my head, jerked tight, and locked.	10
14	429	Normally one would not attempt to move a coffle on the desert in the day, but the march to Klima is made in the sun, that only the strong will survive.	10
14	431	In the desert, without water, even the strong die swiftly.	10
14	565	"Water!" It was a man, come from the desert about.	10
14	574	"It is an escaped slave from the desert," said Hamid.	10
14	652	None attempted to flee into the desert.	10
15	2	Thousands serve there, held captive by the desert.	10
15	5	Similarly, the heavy cylinders of salt, mined and molded at Klima, are carried on the backs of salt slaves from storage areas at Klima to storage areas in the desert, whence they are tallied, sold and distributed to caravans.	10
15	50	Besides the mines and pits of the salt districts, there are warehouses and offices, in which complicated records are kept, and from which shipments to the isolated, desert storage areas are arranged.	10
15	78	The rope had been placed on us when we had straggled in from the desert, to keep us together.	10
15	84	"I jest not!" He wore desert boots, canvas trousers, baggy, a red sash; in the sash was thrust a dagger, curved.	10
15	95	Outside we could see the sun on the crusts, the desert beyond.	10
15	137	"Is it your intention," inquired T'Zshal of Hassan, "to purloin several bags, fill them, battling guards, and walk your way out of Klima?" Even, of course, if one could obtain several such bags, and fill them with water, it did not seem likely that one could carry enough water to find one's way afoo...	10
15	146	"All here," said he, "my pretties, are slaves of the salt, slaves of the desert.	10
15	163	Even in a march of a day one could pass, unknowingly, an oasis in the desert, wandering past it, missing it by as little as two or three pasangs.	10
15	168	This was a precaution to maintain the salt monopolies of the Tahari, as though the desert itself would not have been sufficient in this respect.	10
15	171	There is thus, in the desert, no way from Klima".	10
16	143	And, even if one could traverse the many pasangs of desert afoot, there would not be much likelihood, in the wilderness, of making one's way to Red Rock, or another oasis.	10
17	7	On the height of the keep I saw, tight in the bright, hot wind, under the merciless sun, defiant to the pits and desert itself, the flag of Klima, the whip and scimitar.	10
17	49	There is little to eat in that world; it is a liquid desert, almost barren, black, blind and cool.	10
18	1	I Retrieve a Bit of Silk; We Enter the Desert "What would you have for saving my life?" asked T'Zshal.	10
18	13	"You would enter the desert afoot?" he asked.	10
18	18	"You do not know the desert," he said.	10
18	22	"You know the desert?" asked T'Zshal.	10
18	23	"The desert is my mother, and my father," said Hassan.	10
18	107	"Are you still determined to enter the desert?" he asked.	10
18	116	"You will now, at least with understanding," said he, "enter the desert".	10
18	145	Hassan and I turned and, with the water, and our supplies, into the night desert, took our way.	10
19	26	"No such beast could live in the desert," said Hassan.	10
19	27	"No," I said, "such a beast could not live in the desert".	10
19	52	* * * * We had been twelve days on the desert, when I detected, suddenly, in a moving of the wind, the odor.	10
19	68	"No Kur can live in the desert," he said.	10
19	119	We had been fourteen days on the desert when the wind had shifted to the east.	10
19	138	It began in the east, like a tiny line on the margin of the desert.	10
19	184	Hassan and I turned and, stumbling, carrying the water, fled into the desert.	10
20	39	That the Kur had been bound for the Tahari had been a portion of the mystery which had initiated my venture to the desert.	10
20	73	"The desert would have killed it for you".	10
20	76	"So it was mad from the desert, the storm," said Hassan.	10
20	84	Like most desert plants it is deeply rooted.	10
20	94	I had little doubt that it could kill two unarmed men in the desert.	10
21	31	One does not tease the desert.	10
21	135	Sometimes our path took us toward it, but when we reached it, it was sand, the air above it rippling and troubled in the desert's heat.	10
21	186	But now the desert, and its wounds, were killing it.	10
21	191	It dared to pit itself against the desert.	10
21	199	It, proud beast, had pitted itself against the desert.	10
21	256	Thus, natural enemies, a human and a Kur, in a strange truce in the desert, side by side, trekked.	10
21	302	Even Ibn Saran, with all his brilliance, did not, I supposed, conjecture his role as dupe in this plan, precipitating tribal warfare, thus effectively, for almost all practical purposes, closing the desert to intruders, strangers, agents either of Priest-Kings or even of alternative Kur parties.	10
21	490	The only likely object to use in such a plan would be the body of one of the humans about, victims of the Kur, with whom I had shared the march in the desert.	10
21	641	I exposed them for the scavengers of the desert, for they were only beasts.	10
22	7	The desert was clear.	10
22	20	I had considered walking out of the desert.	10
22	24	I might have wandered in the desert for weeks, until even such large stores were exhausted.	10
22	44	I then went into the desert.	10
22	113	I would let the fleeing man lead me from the desert.	10
23	102	More than two hundred years ago a wandering Tajuk had been rescued in the desert by Aretai riders, who had treated him well, and had given him water and a kaiila.	10
23	283	In a short time, great lines, strung out, began to move across the desert.	10
24	56	Such details are not only useful in discouraging a foolish girl from even thinking of escape, perhaps by lowering herself with knotted covers to the cruel desert below, where she would be almost sure to die, or be shortly recaptured, crazed and thirsting, but, I suspect, are even more useful in taci...	10
24	389	I suspected that, following the defeat in the desert, the discipline amongst the men of Ibn Saran may have lessened somewhat.	10
24	582	"Ibn Saran does not wish his men to slip away, into the desert," I said, "so it may behoove him to be more generous with choice cutlets of the kasbah's best slave meat".	10
24	586	"Perhaps things have changed in the affairs of the desert," I said.	10
24	698	When I came to one of the narrow windows, not wide enough to admit the body of a man, facing the desert on the north, I lifted and lowered the lamp, and then did this once again.	10
24	706	I looked out over the desert.	10
24	710	I saw men, riders, pouring out of the desert.	10
24	718	One man on the walls is worth ten in the desert.	10
24	765	"They will kill us all!" She had the instinctive fear of the girl of riders of the desert.	10
25	24	"It could not be reached across the desert," said a man.	10
25	76	He fell to the desert below.	10
25	80	He died in the desert.	10
25	104	Other prisoners, too, were being brought back from the desert.	10
25	118	He had once been of the Tahari, and then, with a scattering of sand, men following him, returned to the desert, again to supervise his men in their encircling ring of will, steel and kaiila flesh.	10
26	5	Leather was looped and loosely knotted about the high pommel of my desert saddle.	10
26	70	Zina, who had been taken with Tafa in a caravan raid by Hassan, the bandit, had not been at the two kasbahs in the desert.	10
26	184	"We are slaves of the salt, slaves of the desert," he said.	10
26	187	"We will negotiate with local pashas and regulate the desert, and discuss the prices of the varieties of salt," said T'Zshal.	10
26	216	He was a slave, true, but of no man, only of the salt, and the desert.	10
26	221	I rode, slowly, toward the head of the columns, across the desert between the two kasbahs.	10
26	1188	He then entered the desert to investigate rumors of a tower of steel.	10
26	1190	He was released in the desert with insufficient water".	10
26	1230	I saw the desert, the pennons.	10
26	1231	I saw the two kasbahs, which had been those of Abdul, Ibn Saran, the Salt Ubar, Guard of the Dunes, and Tarna, once a proud desert chieftainess.	10
26	1269	I looked back at the kasbahs which had been those of Abdul, Ibn Saran, the Salt Ubar, Guard of the Dunes, and Tarna, once a proud desert chieftainess.	10
